Most of CraftMD’s patients describe the treatment as very tolerable due to the numbing cream applied before injections. Additionally, many fillers also contain lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort.

Any tenderness you may feel typically resolves within one to two days.

For most of our Phoenix-area patients, a single appointment is typically sufficient to achieve the desired look. Follow-up visits may be scheduled to refine results or maintain volume as the filler naturally metabolizes over time.

Results are visible immediately after treatment, although mild swelling may temporarily alter the appearance of your lips. Once the swelling subsides within a few days, your final results will be clear and should last between six months and a year.

Many people choose to combine lip fillers with wrinkle relaxers, which help soften lines around the mouth and forehead, resulting in a smoother appearance. Others add dermal fillers to the cheeks or jawline to create harmony between the lips and the rest of the face. Even skin-focused treatments, like microneedling or chemical peels, can be timed with your filler appointment to enhance overall skin quality.

At CraftMD in Scottsdale, we will guide you through safe combinations and help tailor a treatment plan that suits your individual goals and lifestyle. To schedule your appointment, call the office at (602) 786-6975.

Common side effects associated with lip fillers include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites, as well as lumps, asymmetry, or filler migration.

At CraftMD, we utilize advanced techniques and ultrasound-guided injections to ensure precise placement and minimize risks, providing patients with peace of mind alongside beautiful, natural-looking results.
