Do You Need Lip Fillers?

As the focal point of the lower face, the mouth is key for communication and self-expression. Full, soft lips are considered attractive on both women and men, but many of us weren’t born with ideal lip contours. If you want fuller, more sensuous lips that look like the product of good genes, Mabrie Facial Institute can help.  

We specialize in natural-looking lip augmentation with filler injections for a “San Francisco aesthetic”—fashionable, well-groomed, and above all, natural appearance. And our treatment is about more than just the lips. We address lines and shadows around the mouth, too, so you look radiant, healthy, and like the best version of you. 

Our Solution: Lip Injections With Fillers for Soft, Natural Enhancement

Ideal lips are plump with a gentle, “Cupid’s bow,” and follow the golden ratio of 1 to 1.6, upper lip to lower lip. However, many of us have naturally thin, asymmetrical, or flat lips that could use a little help. Sometimes contouring is needed to create a more defined border or bring the lips into better proportion with other features.

It’s important to treat lips artfully, avoiding a plastic, overdone look. At Mabrie Facial Institute, we create the look of full, sensual lips with dermal fillers from the Restylane® and JUVEDERM® families. We are careful to stay within the natural curves of the lip in order to provide the most realistic-looking results for both women and men. 

One of the reasons some individuals end up with overfilled, unnatural looking lips is because of the caliber of the injector and the tools he/she uses. Our team uses the latest proven techniques and technology, including the blunt-tipped microcannula—which also minimizes bruising and lowers the risk of vascular occlusion. We place the microcannula just under the skin, and use a fanning technique similar to liposuction for precise filler application. We also introduce smaller quantities of filler and stage treatment across 2 appointments.

Your Lip Filler Procedure 

Creating a beautiful mouth involves more than just adding volume. At Mabrie Facial Cosmetic, our Illumination 360° approach means we evaluate your lips from every angle, in a variety of lights, to assess projection, proportion, and definition. Additionally, we are very proud of our “San Francisco aesthetic,” which is stylish, polished, and natural. You can count on results that look vibrant, youthful, but never overdone or obvious. 

Initial Appointment 

To create a soft, balanced, youthful look, we introduce fillers with a fine, flexible microcannula that decreases bruising, greatly increases safety, and minimizes the risk of arterial occlusion. We correct asymmetry, lines, and shadows and add just the right amount of fullness and shape. 

About 1 to 3 months after your initial appointment, we will polish and perfect your results at your refinement appointment.

Refinement Appointment 

When too much filler is placed in the lips at one time, it can spread out and cause less-than-ideal results. After the initial swelling has completely subsided, we can subtly add more filler where needed to produce a natural-looking, balanced, sensuous mouth.
