Our experienced medical team provides completely customized lip filler treatments to help you achieve your ideal lip shape and volume.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable dermal filler treatments designed to add volume, definition, and contour to the lips. The most common fillers used for lip augmentation contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps hydrate the skin.
When expertly injected into precise areas of the lips, fillers can provide beautiful, natural-looking enhancement that leaves you looking refreshed and rejuvenated.
At Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness, we’re committed to providing you with the best cosmetic treatments that are guaranteed to be safe and effective for your skincare needs. Book a session now with us and start your journey towards seeing your best skin yet.
Benefits of Lip Fillers
There are many reasons our clients choose lip fillers to enhance their features. Benefits include:
Increased Volume
Skillfully injected dermal fillers can add desirable fullness and plumpness to naturally thin lips, creating a more voluptuous and sensual shape. Fine lines around the edges of the mouth can also be effectively reduced with precisely placed filler.
Improved Definition
The delicate edges of the lips and cupid’s bow can be reshaped and contoured with dermal filler to achieve sharper definition and more ideal proportions. Filler allows precise sculpting and contouring of the lips for enhanced shape.
Enhanced Symmetry
Asymmetries and unevenness in the lips can be corrected by expertly applying dermal filler to balance, even out, and restore symmetry. Targeted filler injection rebalances uneven lips for enhanced symmetry.
Natural-Looking Results
In the hands of an experienced provider, lip fillers enhance the shape and volume of the lips in a subtle, gorgeous way. When properly done, injections provide naturally beautiful, enhanced lips.
Non-Surgical Treatment
Using injectable dermal fillers conveniently allows lip enhancement through a quick outpatient procedure with no surgery or downtime required. Avoid the risks and recovery of surgery with this non-invasive lip filler method.
Long-Lasting
Lip filler enhancements can last 6-12 months or more depending on the individual, providing long-term improvement with minimal maintenance. Continually plump, beautiful lips are achievable with periodically repeated filler.
Lip Filler Consultation: Your First Visit at Ethos Aesthetics Holmdel
The consultation is a critical first step for every lip filler patient. This time allows our injectors to listen to your cosmetic goals, assess your facial anatomy, and determine an individualized treatment plan. These include:
| 1 | Lip Evaluation | We thoroughly examine the current shape, volume, symmetry, and proportions of your lips to identify areas for potential enhancement. |
| 2 | Facial Balance Assessment | A holistic assessment will be done to your facial features and structure to ensure lip filler treatment harmoniously balances and complements your individual facial aesthetics. |
| 3 | Medical History Review | An in-depth discussion regarding your medical background including health conditions, medications, allergies, and any other relevant information to determine your candidacy. |
| 4 | Treatment Options | Based on your enhancement goals and lip anatomy, we will recommend optimal dermal filler types and injection techniques and discuss numbing options for maximum comfort. |
| 5 | Discussion of Expectations | The treatment process will be explained in detail along with realistic and achievable expectations for lip filler results to ensure complete understanding and satisfaction. |
| 6 | Pricing and Financing | We will present multiple payment and financing options to find the best way to make your lip enhancement affordable. |
You’ll have the opportunity to review before and after photos, have all your questions answered, and decide if lip fillers are right for you.
Our aim is complete transparency regarding the treatment, recovery, and costs so you feel 100% confident moving forward.

Our Lip Filler Procedure from Start to Finish
If you decide to proceed with lip fillers after your consultation, here’s what you can expect on treatment day:
- Preparation – We will have you arrive 15-30 minutes prior to your appointment to complete any necessary paperwork and consent forms. You may be asked to remove any makeup, lotions, or oils from your lip area.
- Cleansing and Numbing – We will thoroughly cleanse and disinfect your lip area. A topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize your comfort. For increased numbness, some providers may also use dental block injections around the lips.
- Discussion of Goals and Markings – Our injector will discuss the look you wish to achieve and may make small markings on the lips to guide the filler placement.
- Dermal Filler Injections – Using ultra-fine needles or flexible micro-cannulas, the filler will be precisely injected in small amounts into specific areas of the lips and around the vermilion border. This helps sculpt a smooth, natural-looking result.
- Massage and Check-in – Your lips will be gently massaged to evenly distribute and settle the filler. Your provider will ensure symmetry and proper placement, making any necessary touch-ups.
- Post-Procedure Care – Cool compresses, arnica, and antiviral medications may be provided to aid healing. We will thoroughly review what to expect post-treatment, including potential swelling, bruising, discomfort, and tips for optimal recovery.
- Follow-up Visit – We recommend scheduling a follow-up 2-4 weeks later to check the results and make any adjustments necessary. Photographs may be taken at this visit as well.
- Maintenance – Based on your individual metabolism and goals, we can determine an appropriate maintenance schedule if you wish to make lip fillers part of your regular aesthetic routine. Touch-ups are generally needed every 6-12 months.
We strive to make every step as quick, comfortable, and customizable according to your aesthetic wishes. Most lip filler appointments take 30-60 minutes from start to finish.

Recovery and Results: What to Expect from Your Lip Filler Treatment
Lip filler recovery is relatively quick and easy compared to surgery. Here’s how to make the process as smooth as possible:
Immediately After Treatment
Use ice packs to minimize swelling and bruising, avoid heat, expect numbness from anesthesia for 2-4 hours, and take it easy by avoiding strenuous activity for 24 hours.
The Next Day
Swelling and tenderness should continue improving while bruising becomes more visible and peaks over the next couple days – use Arnica to help bruises resolve faster and avoid kissing or trauma to the lips.
1 Week Later
Most swelling and bruising should be gone and lips will feel natural again with final shape and results visible but still improving – avoid alcohol, blood thinners, exercise, and saunas.
1-2 Weeks Later
Lips will show final enhancement effects and settle into position so follow any remaining post-care instructions, use sunscreen to maintain results and prevent pigmentation.
At Ethos Aesthetics Holmdel, we’re dedicated to making your lip filler experience as comfortable and rewarding as possible. Our team looks forward to helping you achieve your perfect pout!
