Plump, full lips are a vital part of a youthful appearance. However, while a few lucky women may be born with a pillowy, contoured pout, most ladies are not. Even for those that are blessed with sculpted lips can see their smile begin to flatten and lose volume with age. As the body’s collagen production declines, the lips can become thinner, lose their defined borders, and unsightly lip lines may appear.
Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique has the answer to your lip woes, without the commitment, cost, and recovery of a surgical procedure. Noninvasive lip augmentation from Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique can provide immediate improvement for thin lips, offering safe and natural-looking results using the latest generation of dermal fillers. The youthful benefits of a single session at Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique can last a year or more.
The Ideal Candidate for Lip Augmentation
Almost anyone, male or female, can be a good candidate for lip augmentation. Potential patients should be in generally good health, yet unhappy with the shape and volume of their lips. The ideal candidate will understand the recommended lip augmentation procedure, be committed to any recovery restrictions, and hold reasonable expectations for their results. Those with certain health issues, an active skin infection, are pregnant, or nursing may be encouraged to postpone their lip augmentation procedure.
Prior to scheduling a lip injection session at Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique, a confidential consultation will be arranged. At this time, an experienced aesthetic professional will perform a brief examination of the lips and facial tissues. After reviewing your medical history, a personalized lip augmentation treatment plan will then be created, designed around your needs and goals. Once the exact cost has been determined, a Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique patient coordinator will explain all of your payment options, including health care financing with CareCredit.

I came to Mirror Mirror in October because I was interested in getting lip fillers. This was my first time having any type of cosmetic procedure done so I was a bit nervous. But after doing research and reading really good reviews about this place I decided to give it a chance. I’m so happy with the results. There’s a noticeable difference in the overall fullness and symmetry of my lips, however they still look very natural. I have received a lot of compliments from friends and family!

Your Lip Augmentation Procedure
Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique offers patients a wide variety of dermal fillers, each designed especially for lip augmentation. Created to safely and effectively bring fullness and volume to the lips, the Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers can create a luscious pout and more youthful appearance. The right product will depend on the existing tissue, the extent of correction, and the individual patient’s aesthetic goals.
Each lip augmentation session will be performed in one of Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique’s private treatment rooms, taking about 60-90 minutes. Many fillers are premixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic. For additional patient comfort, a topical or local anesthetic can be applied before the filler treatment, as well.
- Juvederm Volbella: Juvederm Volbella is a pliable filler, designed to softly restore shape and contour to the lips, without leaving them looking ‘overfilled’ or duck-like. Volbella is an excellent choice to eliminate vertical lip lines (Smoker’s Lines) and to define lip borders. Results with Volbella can be seen for four to six months.
- Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus: Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2015, Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus can add dramatic definition to thinning lips. The fillers are perfect for creating pillowy lips while improving symmetry and lip alignment. The benefits seen with Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus are immediate and will last for six to nine months.
- Restylane: Trusted to lift and smooth fine lines for years, Restylane is a HA filler that continues to encourage the body’s collagen production over time. Over the coming months, the HA will continue to pull in moisture from surrounding tissues for beautiful, natural-looking lip fullness for up to six months.
Lip Augmentation Recovery, Results, and Potential Risks
Patients can expect a short recovery after their lip augmentation procedure, with little to no downtime. While the lips may be mildly swollen, red, and sore for the first one to two days, these side-effects will resolve quickly. Light bruising is also common. There is no restriction on returning to work after a filler session, however the swelling, redness, and bruising may warrant an afternoon at home to recover. Exercise should be postponed for the first 24 to 48 hours after any filler injections. Makeup can also be worn again right away.
The benefits of lip augmentation can be seen immediately. Fillers can provide results that will last from nine months to a year or more. As soon as the benefits start to fade, a second treatment can be safely performed.
While lip augmentation is considered extremely safe, it is vital that patients only choose an experienced provider, with training in injectable fillers and noninvasive techniques. Common side-effects of injectable for lip augmentation include redness, tenderness, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. More serious complications, such as infection, asymmetry, and nerve damage are extremely rare.
Getting “duck lips” is a risk associated with lip augmentation. If too much filler is injected, it can cause the lips to look overly plump and unnatural. This can be avoided by choosing an experienced provider and being clear about your desired results during the consultation. Additionally, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler if you are not satisfied with the results.
