Lip Fillers
Sculpt. Shape. Define.
Lip fillers give patients complete control over such a central facial feature. Whatever your age, you get to choose how you look, without needing any invasive surgical techniques. At Ohara Dermatology, Dr. Aivaz has years of experience providing individually tailored lip injections in Beverly Hills that empower patients to look their best on their own terms.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a jelly-like substance and are directly injected into the lips to create an alluring, full aesthetic. They can address lost lip volume due to aging or thinner lips due to genetics. Additionally, patients can use lip filler at any age to sculpt their lips to create a look that matches their current beauty preferences.
Lip fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which evenly fills out the lips when injected. HA naturally occurs in the body, and the body will break it down over time. While this means lip fillers are temporary, it also means you do not have to commit to a single look.
Some of the main ways patients use lip filler include:
- Enhance lip definition and shape
- Boost or restore lip volume
- Improve lip symmetry

Are Lip Fillers Right for Me?
If you want fuller, more defined lips, then lip injections offer a safe path toward that goal. Dr. Aivaz’s personal philosophy on aesthetic treatments is to make her patients look very natural. Fillers are not meant to create totally different features–simply to create a beautiful, youthful, natural outcome. Her goal is to turn back the hands of time to make you look like a better version of yourself! Dr. Aivaz still takes the time to fully consult with each patient to ensure lip injections are right (and safe) for them. She also takes the time to go over each of the options. She provides clear information about the advantages of each option and can give you suggestions based on the goals you describe.

What Does a Lip Filler Session Entail?
Lip injections are one of the most convenient cosmetic treatments available. A single session involves two main steps: applying a topical numbing cream and then injecting the filler. During treatment, the area will be cleaned and prepped for the procedure. Should you desire, a topical medical-grade anesthetic will be used to numb the area. Then, a precise amount of filler will be injected beneath the skin. The appointment can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on the concern.
Do Lip Injections Have a Recovery Period?
Most activities can be resumed after treatment, though it is recommended to avoid exercise and using make-up for 24 hours after the procedure. Additionally, there is a small risk of temporary bruising or swelling so it is best not to schedule a filler appointment just before a social engagement. Because of this, many patients prefer to take a day or two off from social engagements to let the swelling fade. Ice packs work great for bringing down any swelling.
Seeing Your Lip Injection Results
Lip fillers provide rapid results while also avoiding the commitments required by surgery. Surgical lip augmentation will cause permanent changes. With lip injections, you can adjust and adapt your treatment according to shifting preferences. Never stay locked in to a single look. Instead, enjoy the freedom of same-day results honed to match your current aesthetic preferences at any point in life. Depending on your filler type, your results can last for 6 to 18 months.
