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.

New update: I had a wonderful experience with Carol. She was professional, knowledgeable and paid attention to every detail to clearly explain my skin concerns. I’ll definitely be coming back! The moment I walked into the clinic I felt a happy, welcomed and professional setting. I had my Sofwave treatment with Alison Falada, Master Esthetician and Laser Specialist. She was nothing short of amazing! She was personable, knowledgeable, skilled and detailed throughout the entire experience. She took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process, addressed all of my my questions and concerns. Alison is an expert and provided great quality service! I love my results and can't wait to book my next appointment with her!
