Our Board Certified Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery experts specialize in Lip Enhancement.
What are Lip Fillers?
Smooth, plump lips with a well-defined cupid’s bow are youthful and beautiful. As we age, our lips develop small lines and wrinkles, become thinner, and the corners of our mouths turn down. At St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we individualize each patient’s treatment, using meticulous injection techniques to address your needs and concerns.
What can dermal fillers do for you?

We want you to leave our office looking beautiful with natural results, your lips enhanced.

What Are Cosmetic Fillers?
Cosmetic dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation, softening lines, restoring volume, and enhancing facial contours such as lips, cheeks, and jawlines. This technique, known as soft tissue augmentation, delivers subtle and immediate results, helping you look as vibrant as you feel.
Modern fillers are safer, longer-lasting, and provide more predictable outcomes. In the skilled hands of expert cosmetic dermatologists, fillers address the underlying causes of aging, delivering a youthful, natural appearance. Our specialists will evaluate your unique needs during your consultation and create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your goals.
What Is the Best Lip Filler?
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (Juvederm® or Restylane® Products)
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the most popular choice for lip enhancement. HA is a natural substance found in the skin that provides a soft, natural fill, making it ideal for lips. These nonpermanent fillers typically last 6 to 12 months when used for lip enhancement.
Additional uses for HA fillers include:
- Reducing dark circles under the eyes (nasojugal groove).
- Enhancing the area around the mouth for a refreshed, youthful appearance.
Common HA Filler Brands:
- Juvederm®
- Restylane®
Are Cosmetic Injectable Fillers Safe?
Injectable fillers are generally safe, especially when performed by board-certified cosmetic dermatologists. However, like any procedure, they carry some risks.
Potential Risks and Considerations:
- Mild bleeding, bruising, or swelling.
- Under-correction or over-correction of wrinkles.
- Skin nodules.
- Infection.
- Rare risk of skin necrosis (significantly minimized with expert injectors and proper technique).
With the right expertise, these risks are uncommon, making injectable fillers a safe and effective choice for achieving natural, youthful results.
