Lip Fillers in Santa Fe
Lips are one of the most defining features of the face. Lip fillers offer a subtle, non-surgical way to restore harmony and fullness to the upper lip, lower lip, or both. Ageless Aesthetics in Santa Fe specializes in natural-looking lip enhancement using hyaluronic acid fillers from trusted lines like Restylane Kysse and the Juvederm family. Whether you’re addressing genetically thin lips, looking to correct asymmetry, or simply wanting a fuller look, every treatment begins with a conversation about your desired look and carefully studying your lip anatomy.
Lip filler injections are performed with intention, using refined techniques and advanced knowledge of the vermilion border, cupid’s bow, and oral commissure. We believe beautifully enhanced lips should never look “done”—they should feel like your own, just more balanced, hydrated, and defined.

Lip filler treatments use high-quality hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that attracts and holds moisture. These gel-like substances are gently injected into targeted injection sites to add volume, define borders, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. At Ageless Aesthetics, we offer some of the most commonly used fillers available today, including Restylane Kysse and Juvéderm products, which are known for their flexibility, softness, and long-lasting effects. These HA fillers integrate smoothly into the surrounding tissues, offering soft structure and subtle enhancement with a high degree of control.
Compared to lip implants or fat grafting, injectable fillers are minimally invasive, reversible, and customizable at every visit. The procedure is quick and highly individualized, making it one of the most popular and accessible forms of lip augmentation.
The lip filler procedure begins with a consultation focused on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and ideal outcome. Before treatment, we apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. Using precise, strategic injection techniques, your provider will introduce the filler into carefully selected areas such as the cupid’s bow, vermilion border, or oral commissure to build your desired volume and shape.
The treatment typically takes less than an hour, with results visible immediately. Light swelling and bruising may occur but generally resolve within a few days. Most people return to normal activities immediately, with little to no interruption to their routine. Results typically last 6-12 months and can be touched up at follow-up appointments.
Lip filler injections can be tailored to address a variety of aesthetic concerns, including thin lips, lack of definition, or a flattened cupid’s bow. For those with genetically thin lips or volume loss due to age, fillers can help restore harmony to the upper and lower lip. Fillers can also be used to correct asymmetry, soften vertical fine lines around the mouth, and subtly lift the mouth corners for a more rested appearance. For those interested in a more comprehensive lip augmentation plan, dermal filler injections can be combined with a lip flip using Botox for more tailored results. Your provider will educate you about your options to develop a treatment plan that brings your vision to life.
Hyaluronic acid fillers offer flexibility, reversibility, and a high level of customization—all essential for creating natural-looking results. Because HA is a natural substance already present in the body, it integrates beautifully with the surrounding tissues and carries a low risk of allergic reactions. These fillers are especially effective for subtle reshaping, adding volume, and softening fine lines without stiffness or heaviness. And, unlike permanent lip augmentation using implants, HA fillers allow for gradual adjustments based on your changing preferences.
Most healthy adults looking to improve their lip volume, shape, or borders are candidates for lip fillers. Lip enhancement using dermal fillers is perfect if you want a fuller appearance without committing to lip implants or more invasive procedures. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your medical history and aesthetic goals and provide you with realistic expectations for your results. Our providers use a well-informed, collaborative approach to craft results that enhance your natural look.
Recovery
After lip injections, you may experience temporary bruising, redness, or mild swelling at the injection sites. These effects typically resolve in a few days, and most patients can resume normal routines immediately. Due to post-treatment swelling, your lips may initially appear fuller. The final natural-looking result will settle within 1–2 weeks. We encourage you to schedule follow-up appointments as needed for optimal outcomes and continuity of care.
Results
Results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and your body’s metabolism. Consistent care lets your lips maintain hydration, definition, and the soft structure you love.

Lip filler results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the type of hyaluronic acid filler used, your body’s metabolism, and how much product is placed. Over time, the naturally occurring substance is gradually absorbed by the body. Maintenance appointments can help preserve your desired shape and volume.
Not at Ageless Aesthetics. Our aesthetic specialists use advanced injection techniques and a conservative approach to create natural-looking results that enhance your unique lip anatomy. We focus on symmetry, balance, and definition.
A lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator to relax the muscles above the upper lip, allowing it to subtly turn outward for a fuller appearance. Lip fillers, on the other hand, add volume and structure using HA fillers. In some cases, both treatments may be combined for enhanced results.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and evaluate your lip anatomy to determine the most appropriate product, such as Restylane Kysse for softness and flexibility or a Juvederm option for more pronounced definition. Each lip filler has its own texture, density, and ideal application area.
Most clients find the treatment very tolerable. We use a topical anesthetic and/or local anesthetic within the product to ensure your comfort. You may feel some pressure or light pinching during the lip filler procedure, but discomfort is usually minimal.
You may experience swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites for a few days. These effects typically subside quickly.
Yes. We offer hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, allowing us to safely reverse or adjust results from previous lip filler injections, whether performed at our clinic or elsewhere.
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid vigorous exercise, heat exposure, alcohol, and excessive touching or pressure to the lips. Staying hydrated and using a gentle lip balm can help support healing. We also encourage you to schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your results and make refinements if needed.
Absolutely. Lip fillers can complement other facial fillers, nasolabial fold correction, or skin treatments to create a harmonious, refreshed look. During your consultation, we can explore all lip augmentation options that align with your aesthetic vision.
