What the first two weeks actually look like

Lip filler is hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule your body already makes, placed in small amounts to shape rather than inflate. The Soft Russian technique we use builds height and definition from vertical placement instead of pushing volume outward, which is why it reads as a better version of your own lip rather than a different one.

Swelling is not a complication, it's the process. Lips swell more than anywhere else on the face, and they usually peak the morning after — often noticeably bigger than the result you're going to keep. That settles over three to five days. Please do not judge your lips on day one, and please don't book two days before a wedding.

Bruising happens to some people and not others, and it's largely down to anatomy rather than technique. If you bruise, it usually clears within a week and covers easily with lipstick after the first forty-eight hours.

  • Swelling peaks

    The morning after, settling over 3–5 days.

  • Final result

    About 2 weeks, once all swelling resolves and the filler integrates.

  • Typically lasts

    12–18 months for 0.2ml and 0.5ml; 12–24 months for 1ml.

  • Before an event

    Book at least 2 weeks ahead. Four is better.

  • For 24 hours after

    No strenuous exercise, saunas or hot yoga. Sleep slightly elevated. Ice gently if you'd like.

  • If something worries you

    Call us. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved, and we'd always rather hear from you early.

Lip Filler — Your Questions, Answered

How much does lip filler cost in Austin?
Here it's $375 for 0.2ml, $599 for 0.5ml and $750 for a full 1ml syringe. Most first-time clients do well starting at 0.5ml. Across Austin, a syringe generally runs between $500 and $1,000 depending on the injector's experience and the product used.
How long does lip filler last?
Twelve to eighteen months for smaller placements, and twelve to twenty-four months for a full syringe. Your metabolism matters more than most people expect — if you're very active, you may metabolize filler faster. Most clients come back somewhere between the twelve and eighteen month mark.
How much swelling should I expect?
A lot more than you're expecting on day one, and that's normal. Lips swell more than any other area of the face, and swelling usually peaks the morning after your appointment before settling over three to five days. The result you keep shows up around two weeks.
What is the Soft Russian technique?
It's a method of placing filler in small vertical amounts through the body of the lip rather than laying it horizontally along the border. The effect is more height and definition with less outward projection — a lifted, defined lip rather than a fuller, rounder one. It generally suits people who want shape rather than obvious volume.
Will my lips look fake?
Not if the amount matches your anatomy. Lips look done when they're overfilled for the face they're on, or when filler has been stacked over years without ever being allowed to dissolve. We'd rather undertreat you and add at a follow-up than hand you something you have to live with for eighteen months.
What is filler migration and how do you prevent it?
Migration is filler moving beyond where it was placed, usually showing up as a shelf or shadow above the lip border. It's most often caused by too much product, product placed too superficially, or new filler layered on before the previous round has dissolved. We prevent it by dosing conservatively, placing precisely, and being honest when the right answer is to dissolve first and start clean.
Can lip filler be dissolved?
Yes. Every filler we use for lips is hyaluronic acid, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. We charge $200 a vial for dissolving against a regular price of $500 or more, and most people need one to two vials. If you're unhappy — with our work or someone else's — this is a real option, not a last resort.
How soon before a wedding or event should I book?
Two weeks minimum, four weeks ideally. That covers the swelling, leaves time for a refinement if you want one, and means any bruising has long cleared. Lip filler two days before a big event is the single most common regret we hear about.

“As someone who is new to Austin, I was honestly nervous about finding an injector I could trust. I had been putting off getting my old lip filler dissolved because I was scared of booking with someone new — Leyla made it easy.”
