Lip Fillers Specialist in Dickson City, PA

At True Bliss Medical, lip fillers are one of the many non-surgical cosmetic procedures offered. Dr. Rios, an experienced and board-certified physician, offers comprehensive consultations to assess the client’s lips, discuss their aesthetic goals, and determine the type and amount of filler that would be the most suitable quantity to achieve the desired look.

With expertise in using dermal fillers made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body, Dr. Rios ensures the optimum hydration and plumpness of the lips. This natural substance, able to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, is highly effective in adding volume to the lips and enhancing their shape.

During this minimally invasive procedure, a fine needle is used to inject small amounts of the filler into strategic areas of the lips. The total quantity of injections needed varies depending on the individual’s lips and their desired outcome.

The process begins with an in-depth consultation, where your desired outcomes will be discussed. The healthcare professional will help you decide on the best approach for the procedure, including determining the most suitable filler. This is followed by a preparatory phase, which involves cleansing the area around the lips and applying a topical anesthetic to help ensure comfort during the injection process.

The actual injection process is swift and precise, with the use of a fine needle to inject the filler into the patient’s areas of concern. Post-injection, your lips may be gently massaged to distribute the filler evenly and a cold compress may be used to minimize the potential for swelling or bruising.

After the procedure, extensive aftercare instructions will be provided, which may include guidelines such as avoiding excessive movement of the lips, using straws, and applying ice packs as needed. While the results of the procedure are generally visible immediately, it may take several days for the outcome to fully settle.

Patients can expect to spend approximately an hour for the entire lip filler process.

The effects of lip fillers can last anywhere from six months to up to two years influenced by the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. When it comes to the type of filler used, we typically use Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers due to their desirable aesthetic effects and natural breakdown by the body over time. However, Dr. Rios can also administer Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, which are known to last longer, if it suit your needs and expectations better.

The amount of filler injected during your appointment with us is entirely based on your individual needs and expectations. We will discuss this with you during your consultation before deciding on the right amount of filler to use.

Dr. Rios’s expertise in different injection techniques allows him to deliver the best results available based on your specific cosmetic needs. His experience in linear threading and bolus injections ensures the longevity of the fillers, giving you the desired results for a longer period.

At True Bliss Medical, we understand that individual metabolism rates can affect the longevity of lip fillers. During your consultation, your metabolic rate when discussing the expected longevity of your lip fillers will be considered.

We believe that the ideal candidate for lip fillers is an adult in good overall health. This would mean non-smokers who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, as these conditions can potentially impair healing and increase the risk of complications. While there’s no definitive age limit for receiving lip fillers, the treatment is generally recommended for adults over the age of 21, who have fully developed facial features.

If you have thin or asymmetrical lips and are considering a change, lip fillers could provide a fuller, more balanced look. At our practice, we use this procedure to effectively add volume to thin or narrow lips, correct asymmetrical lips, and enhance the Cupid’s bow. Additionally, lip fillers can plump up the lips and smooth out wrinkles or fine lines, providing a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Individuals with certain health issues may not be suitable candidates. These could include those with blood clotting disorders, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, active cold sores, or allergies to filler materials.

The cost of these treatments is capable of fluctuating, and we are here to provide you with a comprehensive breakdown.

There are a variety of fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, hyaluronic acid, or collagen. The cost depends on the type of filler chosen, influenced by their composition and longevity. The cost will typically range from between $500 to $2000 per syringe, depending on the amount of filler used to achieve your desired results.

At True Bliss Medical, the cost of a single syringe of hyaluronic acid filler is dictated by several factors but generally falls between $500 and $1,000.

While cost is an important factor, we believe it should not be the only consideration when deciding to get lip fillers. At our practice, we prioritize safety, quality, and his expertise over the cost of the procedure.
