Achieve Natural Lip Enhancement with Expert Lip Filler

At Coastline Plastic Surgery, we believe that aesthetic enhancement should always celebrate and elevate your natural features. Under the guidance of Dr. Brandyn Dunn, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, our approach to lip filler—often referred to as non-surgical lip augmentation—is meticulously tailored to deliver results that are beautifully balanced, impeccably precise, and authentically you.

If you are seeking to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, or simply achieve a more defined and hydrated pout, our non-surgical treatment ensures a refined outcome that enhances your overall facial harmony with minimal downtime.

What is Lip Filler? The Science of a Subtle Pout

Lip fillers are a popular and effective way to instantly enhance the shape and volume of the lips. The most commonly used, and safest, type of filler is composed of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body responsible for maintaining hydration and volume in the skin.

When injected by an expert, HA fillers act like a sponge, attracting and holding moisture to create subtle, yet noticeable, plumpness and definition. By utilizing trusted brands such as Juvederm® or Restylane®, we can precisely control the amount of volume added, ensuring your results never look overdone.

Common Goals for Lip Augmentation

Patients seek dermal fillers for the lips for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Restoring Volume: Counteracting the natural thinning and flattening of the lips that occurs with age.
  • Defining the Border: Sharpening the Cupid’s bow and vermilion border for a crisper, more youthful contour.
  • Correcting Asymmetry: Skillfully balancing the upper and lower lips for a more symmetrical appearance.
  • Smoothing Lines: Addressing vertical lines (often called "smoker's lines") around the mouth.
  • Hydration: Improving the overall texture and moisture of the lips.

The Coastline Plastic Surgery Difference: Precision and Personalization

Choosing an expert for your non-surgical procedure is the most critical decision. Dr. Dunn’s expertise as a facial plastic surgeon provides an unparalleled advantage. His deep understanding of facial anatomy, including the vascular map and underlying muscle structure, allows for safer, more precise, and ultimately more aesthetically pleasing injections.

Your Personalized Consultation

Every aesthetic journey at Coastline Plastic Surgery begins with a comprehensive, one-on-one consultation. Dr. Dunn takes the time to listen to your specific goals and insecurities. We discuss:

  1. Aesthetic Objectives: Do you want subtle plumping, or more definition? Are we focusing on the upper lip, lower lip, or both?
  2. Facial Harmony: Dr. Dunn will assess your lip structure in relation to your nose, chin, and jawline to ensure the result contributes to your overall facial balance.
  3. Customized Plan: Based on this assessment, he will recommend the specific type and amount of Hyaluronic Acid filler needed to achieve a result that aligns with his philosophy of enhancing natural beauty.

This personalized approach is the cornerstone of our practice, ensuring that your results are tailored specifically for you—never standardized or artificial.

What to Expect During Your Non-Surgical Lip Filler Treatment

The lip filler procedure is quick, efficient, and performed in a comfortable office setting.

The Procedure

The treatment typically takes only 30 to 45 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure maximum comfort. Dr. Dunn then uses a very fine needle or cannula to strategically inject the chosen filler into the lips. He utilizes advanced injection techniques to sculpt the shape and add volume gradually, often pausing to allow you to review the progress and provide input.

Recovery and Downtime

One of the greatest benefits of non-surgical lip procedures is the minimal downtime. While you can return to most normal activities immediately, you should anticipate some temporary side effects:

  • Swelling: This is common and usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
  • Bruising: Minor bruising is possible but can be easily covered with makeup.
  • Tenderness: The lips may feel slightly tender for a day or two.

We provide detailed post-care instructions to minimize these effects, helping you enjoy your results sooner.

Long-Lasting, Beautiful Results

The final, soft, and voluminous result will be fully visible once any initial swelling subsides. Patients are often thrilled with the look of fuller, more defined lips that seamlessly integrate with their overall facial features.

On average, Hyaluronic Acid Lip Fillers last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific product used and how your body metabolizes it. To maintain your beautifully enhanced appearance, a simple touch-up treatment can be scheduled as the effects begin to fade.
