Lips That Speak Volumes

Lip Filler at Metro Medspa

Lips age just like the rest of your face, losing volume, definition, and that smooth, youthful softness.

For others, the goal of lip filler is to achieve balance, symmetry, or simply add a little extra plumpness. Lip filler can do all of that and more, with results that feel soft, natural, and completely your own.

At Metro Medspa in St. Louis, lip filler is one of our most-requested treatments for a reason. Our providers take the time to understand your unique features and goals, creating lip enhancements that look natural, balanced, and never overdone. Whether you’re going for subtle definition or full volume, we’ll meet you where you are. Book a consultation to chat with your provider about what’s possible. You don’t have to know exactly what you want yet—that’s what we’re here for!

Precision Definition

What is lip filler?

Lip filler is a smooth, gel-like substance — most often made with hyaluronic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces — that’s expertly injected into the lips to enhance volume, shape, and hydration. At Metro Medspa, we exclusively use FDA-approved dermal fillers from trusted brands like Restylane to ensure beautiful, safe, and natural-looking results.

Quick, Comfortable, and Personalized

What is the lip filler treatment like?

Each treatment starts with a one-on-one conversation with your provider. We'll discuss your goals, examine your facial structure, and create a personalized plan that aligns with your vision and natural anatomy.

During your lip filler treatment, your provider will use a fine needle or cannula to precisely place the filler. We use numbing cream to keep you comfortable, and most clients say the process is much easier than expected. You’ll see volume right away, but the results will continue to become more refined as post-treatment swelling resolves, typically within the first 48 hours.

Appointments usually take under 45 minutes, and you're back to your day right after.

Plump, Smooth, and Perfectly You

What conditions does lip filler address?

Lip filler isn’t just for adding volume, although it’s great for that. Our experienced injectors use precise techniques to address several common goals and concerns:

  • Vertical lip lines (a.k.a. “smoker’s lines”)
  • Shape and definition lost with age
  • Lips that appear dry or deflated
  • Asymmetry in shape or volume
  • Underdefined lip border

Lip filler can also bring balance to the lower third of your face, especially when paired with chin or smile line filler!

Subtle or Statement—Your Call

What are the benefits of lip filler?

Lip filler gives you more than just plump lips. This quick, minimally invasive treatment helps your whole face feel more balanced and expressive. Benefits include:

  • Immediate improvement in shape and fullness
  • Better symmetry and definition
  • Smoother lip texture (great for lipstick lovers)
  • Results that look natural and soft, not stiff or frozen
  • Confidence in photos and in everyday conversation

Whether you’re going for “your lips but better” or adding a little more drama, we’ll tailor the treatment to your taste.

Tailored for You

Am I a candidate for lip filler?

Most healthy adults are good candidates for lip filler. It’s a flexible, reversible treatment with a strong safety profile. However, you should avoid lip filler if you:

  • Have an active cold sore outbreak or infection in the area
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions to filler ingredients

Your provider will take the time to learn about your medical history, evaluate your unique facial features, and confirm that this treatment is the right fit for you. Whether you’re new to lip filler or returning for a touch-up, we’ll make the process seamless, comfortable, and tailored to your goals.

Low Downtime, High Impact

Lip Filler Recovery

Lip filler is a quick treatment with minimal downtime, though some swelling, tenderness, or bruising is normal in the first few days — especially within the first 48 hours. Applying ice packs and avoiding alcohol or salty foods can help minimize swelling. Most clients feel back to normal within a week!

For the best healing, skip intense workouts, facials, and kissing for 24–48 hours after treatment. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare instructions to help ensure a comfortable recovery and beautiful results.

A Kiss of Confidence

Lip Filler Results

After just one easy treatment, most clients notice their lips feel smoother, more balanced, and better defined. That subtle fullness brings softness to your entire face, even when you’re makeup-free.

Results appear immediately and settle beautifully within a week. Depending on your goals and how your body processes filler, the effects typically last 9 to 12 months with the option to refresh when it feels right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most lip fillers last about 9–12 months, though the exact timing can vary based on factors like your metabolism, the type of filler used, and how expressive your lips are. Your provider can help you plan maintenance appointments to keep your results looking fresh.

We use a strong topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable, and many fillers contain lidocaine for added comfort. You might feel a pinch or some pressure, but most clients are surprised at how quick and manageable the treatment is.

Not at Metro! Our aesthetic is natural, soft, and sophisticated. You’re in total control of the volume, and we’ll never push you beyond your comfort zone.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible. If you’re unhappy with your results (whether from us or elsewhere), we can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to safely dissolve the product.

This depends on your goals. Some clients love the result from half a syringe, while others want a full syringe. You can also choose to build your results over time with added treatments. Your provider will help you choose what’s right for your lips and your look.

Most people are back to work or running errands the same day. Mild swelling or bruising is common and is usually most noticeable in the first 48 hours before gradually improving over the next few days. For best results, schedule your appointment at least a week before big events, just to be safe!

It’s best to wait about 24 hours before applying lipstick or other lip products so your lips have time to settle and heal. Once any swelling has gone down, you might even find your lipstick goes on more smoothly and looks better than ever!

To help minimize the chance of bruising, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 24–48 hours before your visit. Drink plenty of water so your skin is well-hydrated, and come with a clean, makeup-free face — we’ll take care of the rest.

Pricing varies based on the product used and how much is needed. At Metro, we offer competitive rates and new client specials. Members of our Confidence Club get discounted pricing!

For your safety and your baby’s, we recommend waiting until after pregnancy and breastfeeding before getting lip filler or any other injectable treatments. We’ll be here to help you plan your perfect treatment when the time is right!
