For lips that “wow” without saying “I’ve had work done”: FAQs about filler treatment that you can trust

Thinking about lip fillers but worried about the dreaded “duck lips”? Worry no more! You have arrived at the right place to get a lip filler treatment that complements your features and aligns with your goals. When in our qualified providers’ hands at Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, patients in and around the Tualatin, Oregon, area also enjoy the safest, most comfortable, and lowest-risk procedure. Adverse effects and the rare serious complications are minimized by partnering with highly experienced and skilled medical aestheticians to perfect your pout through our unique and transformative “Thoughtful Aging” approach.

What can I expect during the process?

As with all treatments available at our center, an initial consultation is scheduled to evaluate your areas of concern and discuss your aesthetic goals and personal preferences. Together, you and your provider will determine the best approach to boost a depressed pucker and even soften lines in the perioral region. From there, if you decide to embark on the lip filler process, the journey generally goes like this: On the first day, you may enter our office with lips that are too small, fade into the background, and are not beautifully balanced and proportional to your face. On the second day, post-treatment, your lips may be swollen. On days three to four, you may notice bruising and lumpiness. By days five to seven, you are all already embracing your perfected pout. Within a week to two weeks, you’ll love your new lips!

What filler product do you use?

Many women want to add subtle volume to their lips. But they don’t want it to be so obvious that others will see that a procedure has been done and that it looks fake or “overdone.” This is where Juvéderm® Volbella XC enters the stage. This is a relatively new dermal or soft tissue filler designed to do just that — add subtle volume without “giving you away.” Your “secret” to plumper, more attractive lips is safe with us. This simple injection lasts a year and can also be applied to help soften the appearance of pesky vertical lip lines that can come with age or betray a past smoking habit.

Is filler right for me?

It is essential to have a good understanding of and realistic expectations about the results from lip fillers because how these products are metabolized and “show up” varies from person to person. Factors that contribute to the final outcomes range from age and skin elasticity to the natural lip shape and size. Furthermore, the type of filler used, the amount injected, and the injection technique employed by the provider can all play a considerable role in the final result.

Why should I trust my lips to Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center?

It’s crucial to work with a qualified provider who can guide you through the process and help you achieve your desired results while ensuring that the outcome is proportionate and balanced with your facial features. Whether you seek a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic change, starting the lip filler journey with a clear understanding that the results differ from person to person can also help to manage your expectations and ensure a positive and satisfying experience.
