I have nothing but great things to say about this office. From the welcoming staff greeting you at the front, to my amazing nurse injector Amanda McJones, they made my experience so good. I got my lips done for the first time and was very nervous and they made the whole visit so smooth and comfortable for me. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again!
What To Expect From Lip Injection Filler Results
Lip fillers can add volume to your lips and maintain their natural shape, giving your face a more youthful appearance. With carefully administered injections, you can have your lips augmented without appearing artificial. The most common lip injection technique nowadays is a more structured, conservative lip that looks fantastic.
With Dr. Yamamoto’s lip enhancement procedures in Reno, you can become fuller, more defined, and beautiful without resulting in the “duck lips,” which were more popular in the past. Preserving the contour and definition of your lips is essential to achieving a natural-looking finish, regardless of whether you want to enhance their volume, structure, or both.
With aging, the supporting tissues under the lip skin lose volume causing the lips to become thinner. However, a little strategically applied filler can help replenish the fullness that has been lost over time and subtly and beautifully accentuate the lip corners for a more defined lip line that helps keep lipstick in control. Additionally, lip filler injections can help smooth out small lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
Some people have uneven lips either from birth or due to injury. With lip injections, this asymmetry can be fixed, giving the lips harmony and balance. Adding volume to the lips can enhance the overall symmetry of the face. Thus, those who have thin lips can anticipate a more balanced appearance after the procedure.
Generally, lip filler treatment is safe. Side effects such as swelling, bruising and soreness in the injection areas are usually minor and temporary. Though uncommon, more severe adverse effects are possible. However, choosing an experienced and skillful cosmetic surgeon can guarantee the best results and lower the risk of problems.
Furthermore, the benefits of lip fillers are not permanent, usually lasting six to twelve months. The effects gradually wear off as your body absorbs the filler. With time, more lip filler treatments will be required if you wish to keep the appearance.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Lip Filler Appointment
Before Lip Fillers
Before your lip injections, you will meet with Dr Yamamoto in his Reno office for an initial consultation. During this appointment, the doctor will discuss with you your desired lip look and any worries you may have about the treatment. After examining your lips, he will advise you on whether lip fillers are a safe way to reach your enhancement goals.
In addition, Dr Yamamoto will evaluate any possible dangers and determine if lip fillers are appropriate for you based on your medical history, present health, and appearance. You will also receive a personalized plan outlining the regions to be treated, the amount of filler required, and the associated costs.
You should avoid taking any blood-thinning medications for about a week before your lip injection session. To reduce swelling and bruising, you should also abstain from alcohol and tobacco smoking a few days before the procedure.
During Lip Injections
Before injecting, the plastic surgeon or injector nurses will apply a numbing lotion to your lips and wait about 10 minutes to allow it to take effect. Next, the filler will be carefully injected into the proper lip areas based on the desired appearance. Dr Yamamoto uses dermal filler brands such as Restylane and Juvederm.
Furthermore, some Reno patients treat their entire face at once by scheduling lip injection visits along with other injectable procedures. The entire lip-filling session takes thirty to forty-five minutes.
After Lip Fillers
Some swelling and redness may appear at first. The aftercare instructions your practitioner will give you will help you manage any discomfort.
It may take some time to see the results. Although some people observe improvement in their lip shape and volume a few hours after the procedure, some don’t notice any effect for many days. This is because injectable fillers, especially those containing hyaluronic acid, which stimulates the body’s natural processes to produce more collagen— need time to fully settle into your skin.
