Lip Fillers

What Are
Lip Fillers?

“I don’t trust anyone else but Chicago Aesthetics with my lip fillers. My lips look so natural, and I get so many compliments!”

At Chicago Aesthetics Surgery & Med Spa, we offer lip filler injections using approved dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid to enhance the shape of the lips. Lip fillers can help add natural fullness, add definition and shape to your lips.

Lip filler injections are a cosmetic treatment that adds volume and shape to your lips. A soft gel made of hyaluronic acid (a substance your body naturally produces) is carefully injected into your lips. This enhances their size, definition, and overall appearance. The results can look subtle or bold, depending on your goals.

Lip filler injections should only be performed by a trained cosmetic physician or highly experienced aesthetic Nurse.

Contact us today for an appointment with our expert-trained lip filler injectors.

What is
Lip Augmentation with filler?

The goal of lip enhancement is to balance, soften, and feminize your appearance with fuller lips. Too much filler or filler placed in the wrong locations can result in “fake,” “ducky,” or lumpy appearing lips.

Lip fillers such as Revanesse Versa, Restylane Kysse® or Juvederm Volbella® may be injected into the lips. Your injector may recommend a certain filler to acheive your goals. Lip filler injections can have the following benefits:

  • Restore loss volume or add fullness to thin lips
  • Smooth and soften fine lines around the lips
  • Correct asymmetry or uneven lips
The results are instantly noticeable when done correctly, with full results being realized two weeks following your lip filler treatment.

Are lip fillers safe?

Lip fillers injected into the lips are safe if done by an experienced injector using only approved fillers.

There are some possible side effects including bruising, swelling, and redness in the treated areas. These side effects should go away within a couple of weeks.

I’ve been seeing Carol for Botox for over two years, and she is absolutely amazing! I trust her completely with my face. She always takes the time to listen to what I want and makes sure my results look natural and beautiful—she never overdoes it. I especially appreciate how honest she is; she will tell you when you don’t need something rather than trying to sell you more treatments. Carol truly cares about her patients and always makes me feel comfortable, welcomed, and at home. She is professional, knowledgeable, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I always leave feeling confident and happy with my results. It’s hard to find someone you can trust this much, and I’m so grateful I found Carol. I wouldn’t trust

I had Lipo 360 and a Skinny BBL this summer, and I am so happy with my results. I was always extremely nervous about going under the knife, but I really wanted to do something that would help boost my self-confidence. Dr. T and his entire team were truly amazing throughout the whole process. I am naturally pretty skinny, so I was always worried about whether this procedure would work well for my body type, but I honestly wish I had done it sooner. I am currently about five weeks post-op, and I am already so pleased with how everything is turning out. My results continue to improve as I heal, and I’m excited to see the final outcome. I’m very grateful to Dr. T and his team for making me feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience.

Nurse Carol always does an outstanding job no matter the procedure. She literally has light hands and you barely feel a thing. She brightens my day whenever I have an appointment with her. Very kind, professional and very knowledgeable. I have never had anyone as thorough as her. She communicates with me before and after all appointments and reaches out to ensure I safely drive there sooner due to the weather conditions. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Nurse Carol Donohue. After four years as her client, I can genuinely say that the trust, care, and relationship we have built over the years means so much to me. Carol has always been incredibly easy to communicate with and accommodating with my schedule. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients—even coming in early before her shift to make sure she can see me when needed. That level of dedication and care does not go unnoticed. What I appreciate most about Carol is her integrity. She doesn’t simply recommend a cosmetic procedure because she can perform it. She takes the time to honestly tell me what would be beneficial, what may be unnecessary, and what she believes is best for me. My health, well-being, and safety have always come first, and that has given me an incredible amount of confidence and trust in her. Carol is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. She explains everything in detail, makes sure I understand every step of the process, and always makes me feel comfortable and cared for. She values her clients as people, not just appointments. Beyond her professionalism, Carol’s kindness has touched me personally. There have been days when I walked into her office feeling at my lowest, and simply being met with her warmth, compassion, and kindness helped me leave feeling a little more confident and a lot better than when I arrived. That is something I will never forget. Thank you, Nurse Carol Donohue, for four wonderful years of professionalism, honesty, compassion, and exceptional care. I am incredibly grateful for the client-and-nurse relationship we have built, and I look forward to many more years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a provider who combines expertise with integrity and truly cares about the people she serves.

I’ve been getting Botox from Carol for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional, and she always takes the time to make sure I feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. I truly trust her expertise and appreciate how carefully she listens to what I want while providing honest, thoughtful recommendations. My results have always looked natural and beautiful, which is exactly what I’m looking for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering Botox or looking for someone skilled, trustworthy, and genuinely caring!
