Lip Fillers Before and After: What’s the Difference

At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, we understand that each client’s lips are unique in their natural shape, volume, and structure. If you notice thin lips, asymmetry, or fine lines around your mouth, these features will be present before treatment. Your lips may also have less definition, particularly along the vermillion border, and the skin may appear less plump or hydrated.

Our expert injectors at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center specialize in enhancing your natural beauty with personalized lip filler treatments. After your procedure, you can expect your lips to look fuller, more hydrated, and beautifully defined. We take special care to address asymmetry and soften fine lines around the mouth, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Immediately after your appointment, it’s normal to experience some swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising—these effects typically subside within a few days to a week. Once the healing process is complete, you’ll see the final results: enhanced volume, improved shape, and balanced, natural-looking lips. Our team works closely with you to achieve the subtle, refreshed look you desire, ensuring your results complement your facial features.

At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, we often receive questions about whether lip fillers can be combined with other facial rejuvenation treatments. The answer is yes—many of our clients safely and effectively enhance their results by pairing lip fillers with options like Botox, chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapies. However, it’s essential to do so under the care of our experienced medical team to ensure your safety and achieve the best possible outcomes.

For most individuals, lip fillers can be administered on the same day as Botox injections in other areas of the face. These treatments address different concerns and typically do not interfere with each other. If you’re interested in combining fillers with treatments such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing, our providers will recommend scheduling these either before your filler appointment or waiting at least one to two weeks after your injections. This careful timing helps minimize the risk of irritation or unwanted side effects, as certain procedures may increase skin sensitivity or swelling.

Microneedling and microdermabrasion are also popular options at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center. To ensure optimal healing, these treatments should be performed either before your lip filler session or after you have fully recovered—generally about two weeks post-filler.

During your consultation at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, please let us know about any recent or upcoming cosmetic procedures. Our skilled injectors will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals, ensuring a safe and effective experience. If you’re considering combining lip fillers with other rejuvenation services, we invite you to schedule a consultation so we can help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results.

At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, our goal is to help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with every lip filler treatment—and to make those results last as long as possible. Here are some expert tips from our team to help you maintain your enhanced look:

1. Prioritize Hydration: Keep your lips hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a nourishing lip balm. Dehydration can cause fillers to break down more quickly, so regular hydration is key. We recommend a high-quality balm, ideally with ingredients that lock in moisture.

2. Protect Your Lips from the Sun: Sun exposure can accelerate the breakdown of hyaluronic acid fillers. Use a lip balm with SPF and try to avoid excessive sunbathing. The team at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center can recommend trusted sun-protective products for your aftercare.

3. Avoid Habits That Wear Down Filler: Frequent lip rubbing, massaging, or puckering can shorten the lifespan of your filler. Limiting habits like drinking through straws or smoking will also help preserve your treatment results. Our injectors will provide specific guidance based on your lifestyle.

4. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: Eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and antioxidants supports your skin’s health and enhances filler longevity. If you have questions about vitamins or supplements that may benefit your skin, our providers are happy to advise you during your appointment.

5. Limit Heat and Intense Exercise Immediately After Treatment: For the first 24-48 hours after your visit to Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, avoid activities that expose your lips to excessive heat, such as saunas or very hot showers. Also, try to keep physical activity light, as vigorous exercise can increase blood flow and potentially cause the filler to break down faster.

6. Follow Your Provider’s Post-Care Instructions: Our experienced injectors will give you personalized aftercare instructions—be sure to follow them closely! Scheduling regular touch-up appointments at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center can also help you maintain consistent, beautiful results. Most fillers last six months to a year, but every client is unique.

7. Choose an Experienced Provider: The skill of your injector and the quality of your filler play a major role in how long your results last. At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, our licensed professionals use only top-tier products and proven techniques to achieve safe, lasting enhancements.

If you have any questions about your lip filler results or notice any unexpected changes, don’t hesitate to contact Seacoast Rejuvenation Center. We’re here to support you every step of the way—before, during, and after your treatment.

At Seacoast Rejuvenation Center, we use advanced hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers to help you achieve the full, natural-looking lips you desire. It’s important to know that lip filler results are not permanent—they will gradually diminish over time as your body naturally breaks down the filler material. Most of our clients enjoy their enhanced lip volume for six to twelve months, although this can vary based on factors like your metabolism, the specific filler used, and your lifestyle.

As the effects wear off, your lips will gently return to their original appearance unless you choose to continue with follow-up treatments. For those who wish to maintain their results long-term, our experienced team at Seacoast Rejuvenation Center can recommend a personalized maintenance schedule to help you enjoy beautifully rejuvenated lips all year round.
