Introduction to Lip Fillers
Whether you were born with thin lips or have experienced volume loss due to the natural aging process, lip fillers can restore a plump, healthy-looking smile that you will love. Dr. Ibrahim and his team in Melbourne, FL, focus on delivering elegant, nuanced changes tailored to your specific needs.
Made with a gel-like substance that easily integrates with existing skin tissue, lip fillers can increase lip volume, smooth away troublesome vertical lines, sharpen the Cupid’s bow, and enhance lip border definition. Lip fillers are formulated with a biocompatible compound called hyaluronic acid, which boosts skin hydration, suppleness, and radiance. Lip injections usually take 15-30 minutes to complete, and results can last 6 to 12 months.
Patients love the confidence that comes from undergoing lip fillers in Melbourne, as well as the following additional benefits:
If you are in the Melbourne, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, FL, area and are unhappy with thin, depleted lips, you may be an ideal candidate for lip fillers with Dr. Ibrahim. Busy, active patients appreciate the convenience of visiting the office during their lunch breaks and leaving looking and feeling their best. You will likely qualify for an appointment if you are healthy and have realistic expectations for your results. Dr. Ibrahim will schedule a private consultation to ensure that lip fillers are a safe and effective option for revitalizing your appearance. Since lip fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in the human body, negative reactions are rare. However, pregnant and nursing mothers, as well as those with oral infections, cold sores, bleeding disorders, or any filler allergies, should avoid the treatment.
Your journey to a more beautiful, attractive smile begins with a private consultation at Dr. Ibrahim’s Melbourne, FL, office. This first visit will involve an open discussion about your goals, addressing all your questions, and a thorough medical and physical assessment. Dr. Ibrahim will then prepare a customized treatment plan to restore your appearance and schedule your treatment date.
Before you come in, there are a few guidelines to follow which will help you make the most of your lip filler session:
Lip fillers take just minutes to administer, and your treatment experience will be virtually painless. The lips are numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to your session, maximizing your comfort. Many lip fillers also contain built-in lidocaine, a numbing agent, which further increases your peace of mind. First, your injection points will be carefully mapped out with a surgical pen, enhancing precision and customization. And finally, the filler is injected to create a more youthful, alluring smile that still looks completely natural.
Lip fillers in Melbourne require no downtime or recovery, so you can quickly resume your normal schedule. You may experience a few side effects, such as swelling, bruising, and tenderness. These symptoms can last a few weeks but are no cause for concern. Avoid placing pressure on the lips for at least six hours after your session, and refrain from exercising for 24 hours. You can take over-the-counter pain medications and use an ice pack or Arnica cream to alleviate any soreness. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours as well.
The cost of lip fillers in Melbourne, Tampa, and St. Petersburg varies depending on the desired look and whether you combine your session with other aesthetic treatments. The best way to obtain an accurate price quote is to speak with Dr. Ibrahim during your private consultation.
