Lip Filler at a Dermatologist-Led Practice
These injectable treatments at Dermatology Specialists of Ann Arbor are performed by or under the supervision of board-certified dermatologists. That medical foundation matters. Dermatologist oversight means in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy, skin biology, and injection safety that goes beyond general aesthetics training.
The practice offers the JUVÉDERM collection, including JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC, ULTRA PLUS XC, and VOLBELLA XC, as well as multiple Restylane lines for enhancing lip volume and smoothing lines around the mouth. These options give your provider the flexibility to tailor treatment to your goals, whether you want a soft, subtle result or more definition.
Injectable fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the skin. Results can look and feel soft. Restylane products generally last 6 to 12 months; JUVÉDERM lip products can last up to a year with optimal treatment. Your provider will recommend the best product for your lip shape, skin type, and lifestyle.
What Can I Expect From the Treatment Process?
Most appointments follow these steps:
1. A consultation to discuss your goals, review your medical history, and select the right filler.
2. Application of a topical numbing agent for comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Careful injection of filler to enhance volume, shape, and definition.
4. A brief review of your results and aftercare guidance before you leave.
5. A follow-up, if needed, to assess healing and any refinements.
The procedure is typically completed in under an hour. Most patients return to regular activities shortly after, though mild swelling or bruising can occur. Your provider will walk you through what to expect.
Good Candidates for Lip Augmentation
This treatment may be a good fit if you have naturally thin lips, have experienced volume loss with age, or want more definition along your Cupid's bow or lip borders. Ideal candidates are adults in good overall health with realistic expectations. Your provider will evaluate candidacy during your consultation.
Is Lip Filler Reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with your results. This reversibility is one reason many first-time patients choose hyaluronic acid-based products. Your Ann Arbor provider can explain the process during your consultation.
Injectable Fillers vs. Other Cosmetic Injectables
These treatments add volume and shape to the lip tissue, while options like Botox address muscle movement and dynamic lines around the mouth. Some patients benefit from a combination approach. The cosmetic services page outlines additional treatments available at the practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does Lip Filler Last in Ann Arbor, MI?
Most hyaluronic acid fillers used in the lips break down gradually over 6 to 12 months, with timing influenced by the product chosen and how quickly your body metabolizes it. JUVÉDERM lip products can last up to a year with optimal treatment. Your provider will give you a realistic timeline based on the filler selected.
Will I Feel Pain During Lip Injections?
Before treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the lips, and many hyaluronic acid products are formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, for added comfort. Most patients find the procedure manageable and report only mild sensitivity during injection. Your provider can discuss additional comfort options if needed.
How Much Does Lip Filler Cost in Ann Arbor?
Pricing varies based on the specific filler product used and the amount needed to reach your goals. The amount depends on factors such as your lip shape, current volume, and desired result. The team can provide a personalized estimate during your consultation.
Is It Safe to Get Lip Injections at a Dermatology Clinic?
Board-certified dermatologists have clinical training in facial anatomy and are equipped to manage complications. Using FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers and established injection protocols helps support safe, natural-looking outcomes. Because these fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, results can also be adjusted if needed.
