Lip Filler

Balance. Hydrate. Define—Without Looking Overdone

At Spectrum Skin Clinic, lip filler isn’t about trends or volume for volume’s sake. It’s about balance, proportion, and restoring harmony to the lower face. Whether you’re looking for subtle hydration, contouring, or correction, our physician-led lip filler treatments are tailored to your anatomy—not a template.


Led by Dr. Sabeen Munib, we specialize in natural-looking results that honor your unique facial structure, improve lip symmetry, and preserve dynamic movement. This is artistry informed by medical expertise—designed for patients who want to look like themselves, only more refreshed.

Why Patients Choose Lip Filler at Spectrum Skin Clinic

  • Physician-led injections with advanced understanding of vascular anatomy
  • Emphasis on hydration and shape, not exaggerated volume
  • Safe correction of asymmetry, loss of definition, or perioral aging
  • Focus on lower face balance and maintaining natural lip movement
  • Extensive experience with both first-time patients and filler correction

What Does Lip Filler Actually Do?

Lip filler is a hyaluronic acid-based gel placed into strategic areas of the lip and surrounding structures to:

  • Improve hydration and vertical lip lines
  • Define the cupid’s bow and vermilion border
  • Add volume to the body of the lip or correct asymmetry
  • Support the corners of the mouth or address downturned lips
  • Soften the lip-chin transition and smooth smoker’s lines

Filler selection, depth of placement, and injection plane are customized based on age, lip shape, and tissue density.

Filler Products We Use for Lips

At Spectrum Skin Clinic, we carefully select fillers that integrate well in lip tissue, with soft texture and flexible movement:

  • Restylane Kysse – Soft, hydrating, ideal for shape and feel
  • Restylane-L – Excellent for subtle volume and precision
  • Belotero Balance – Seamless for fine lines and vertical lip lines
  • PRFM Blend (HA + PRFM) – For patients who need support and skin quality improvement post-overfill or with poor filler history

We do not overfill or use products prone to excessive swelling or migration. Our focus is long-term harmony, not short-term volume.

Who Is It For?

  • Patients aged 18 to 70+ seeking:
    • Subtle enhancement or shape correction
    • Volume restoration after aging or weight loss
    • Hydration and smoothness, not bulk
    • Repair of filler migration or overfilling from previous providers

We do not perform high-volume lip filler or “template” shaping. Each case is reviewed with a focus on facial proportion, ethnicity, and natural dynamics.

Who Is It For?

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Consultation with anatomical assessment and treatment planning
  • Numbing with topical anesthetic or dental block if needed
  • Injection with needle or cannula based on anatomy and safety
  • Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
  • Return to daily activity same day, with swelling expected for 24–48 hours

Lip Filler Results – Spectrum Skin Clinic

In the before photo (left), the patient presents with natural lip symmetry, good structure, but relatively flat lip volume, particularly in the upper lip. The vermillion border is defined, but the lips lack the slight projection and hydration commonly associated with youthful, refreshed appearance.


In the after photo (right), following precise lip filler placement:

  • The upper lip shows enhanced vertical height and improved definition of the Cupid’s bow, restoring balance between the upper and lower lip without creating an unnatural “pout.”
  • The lower lip has subtle volumization, maintaining its natural proportion to the upper lip and preventing a “top-heavy” appearance.
  • Overall, the lips now display a hydrated, smoother texture with restored contour and youthful plumpness.
  • Lip shape integrity is preserved—avoiding migration, overfilling, or distortion of the patient’s natural anatomy.

Importantly, the result looks harmonious with the patient’s overall facial features, ensuring an elegant and believable enhancement rather than an artificial or overdone appearance.

Lip Filler Results – Spectrum Skin Clinic

Downtime & Recovery

  • Swelling: Most prominent in first 1–2 days
  • Bruising: Variable; minimized with cannula use and gentle technique
  • Final result: Typically visible by day 7–10, with optimal settling by 2 weeks
  • Refinement appointment: Optional at 2-week mark

How Long Does It Last?

  • Most lip fillers last 6–12 months, depending on metabolism and filler type
  • Touch-ups are typically lighter and done every 9–12 months
  • If overfilled or previously migrated, dissolving before correction may be required

Correcting Poor Lip Filler

We are experienced in treating lip filler complications, including:

  • Migration into white lip or philtrum
  • Overfilling or puffy upper lip
  • Uneven borders or nodules
  • Loss of natural animation

We use ultrasound-guided Hylenex dissolving when needed and may recommend rebuilding with PRFM or fine HA after tissue healing.

Correcting Poor Lip Filler

Combining Lip Filler With Other Treatments

  • Botox Lip Flip – For subtle eversion or gummy smile correction
  • Microneedling or laser around the lips – To improve lip lines and texture
  • PRFM – For post-dissolve repair or structural support in aging lips
  • Chin or jawline filler – For full lower-face balance

Who Performs the Procedure?

All lip filler treatments at Spectrum Skin Clinic are performed or directly overseen by Dr. Sabeen Munib, whose approach prioritizes anatomy, technique, and restraint. You’ll never be overfilled—and you’ll always be heard.
