Your lips are among the first things others notice about you. Plump, full lips can enhance your facial features and give you an appealing, youthful appearance. Not everyone has been blessed with full, plump lips. Genetics, smoking, and the natural aging process can all impact the size and shape of your lips. Thinning lips have an impact on your confidence and self-esteem.
For years, Boston Center for Plastic Surgery has been offering advanced treatments to restore the shape, size, and volume of lips. Our experienced doctors can help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking lips that enhance your appearance with lip filler in Boston.

Today, there are various options for non-surgical lip augmentation in Boston. We offer a range of soft tissue fillers, all FDA-approved for safe results. In addition to dermal fillers, we provide the fat transfer technique, which uses your body's own fatty tissue to plump your lips. Our available fillers include:
A soft HA filler perfect for adding volume to the lips, restoring shape and contour without an overfilled appearance. The results last from four to six months.
FDA-approved fillers are suitable for immediately adding shape to thin or uneven lips. These fillers create plump, pillow-like lips that feel soft to the touch. Results last for six to nine months, sometimes longer.
A trusted HA filler providing exceptional results. Over time, it encourages collagen production, making results last up to six months. Restylane Silk is a softer form that is effective for filling fine lines above and below the lips. Restylane Refyne is another softer filler for the lips.
Many people opt for microneedling to achieve smoother skin, but genetics, smoking, and aging can affect lip size and shape. While microneedling can't be used directly on the lips, patients can request lip augmentation to enhance their lips during microneedling.

Lip augmentation typically involves little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to work immediately. However, it's common to experience some bruising and mild swelling, so some individuals may prefer to wait a day or two before resuming work or school. It's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours. Makeup can be applied right away.
The lip enhancement techniques provided at the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery are considered safe. Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. Serious complications are extremely rare, although there is a slight possibility of infection, nerve damage, or asymmetry. Choosing an experienced cosmetic surgeon for injectable treatments is crucial to minimize risks.
A small amount of HA filler placed superficially can soften perioral lines, often paired with a micro-dose lip flip (botulinum toxin) for best results.
Overfilling, superficial placement, frequent touch-ups, and certain product rheology can increase migration risk. Conservative dosing and proper depth reduce it.
Hyaluronic acid integrates with tissue and is resorbed. When dosed conservatively, there’s no evidence of lasting ‘stretching’ once metabolized.
It’s best to separate routine dental cleanings and lip filler by ~1–2 weeks to reduce infection risk and avoid pressure on fresh injections.
