Lip fillers are a hyaluronic acid, which is also a natural substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and pulls water from the body to give a more hydrated look. There are different fillers on the market including: Versa, Restylane, Restylane Kysse, and Juvederm. They differ in how long they last and how much structure they provide. Versa is described as a "soft" filler and generally last for 6 months. Restylane is slightly more structural than Versa and generally last from 6-9 months. Restylane Kysse is newer and was specifically designed for the lips. Their new technology allows it to flex and move naturally with the lips and will last for 12 months. Juvederm is the most structural of them all as it is the most hydrophilic. It will last 9-12 months.

For the first 24 hours, it is recommedned that you refrain from working out as this may alter the results of your Botox. It is also suggested that you refrain from pressing on the areas that were treated as this could move the Botox into areas that are not desired. You should also avoid laying down flat for at least 4 hours after treatment so that the Botox doesn't gravitate to unwanted areas.
It is recommened that you refrain from working out for 24 hours after your appointment. You should apply ice to your lips for the first 24 hours. After 24 hours if you develop bruising, you should then switch to heat. This will help the blood to be reabsorbed more quickly into the vessel. Do not apply firm pressure to the lips for a least 3 days.
