What are Lip Fillers?

Lip Fillers, also known as Lip Augmentation or Lip Injections, are non-surgical cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. This popular treatment involves the use of injectable Dermal Fillers, typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. The fillers are strategically injected into the lips to add volume, improve contour, and create a fuller, more youthful look. Lip fillers offer a versatile solution, allowing patients to achieve various outcomes, from subtle tweaks to more dramatic transformations. Whether you desire fuller lips, a more defined lip border, or a balanced smile, lip fillers can help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.

I had my very first Botox and lip filler done by Dr. Deepa Bhat. She is very caring and is the sweetest. She made the process seamless and painless! I had no anxiety over what I’m going to look like after because I knew I was in great hands of an aesthetic plastic surgeon. I LOVE the natural results! I look more youthful and refreshed. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Bhat is an amazing surgeon (and person)! I had an extended tummy tuck and lipo 360 and I have never been happier with the way I look. I healed without issue, my scar looks fantastic and most importantly, Dr. Bhat was there for me every step of the way. I would recommend Dr. Bhat to anybody looking to gain self confidence through surgery.

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Bhat for lip filler and botox and it was a wonderful experience. She walked in the room with a warm smile and instantly put me at ease. She was very attentive and I felt that she really listened to my goals and desired outcome. She was gentle and meticulous and my lips turned out absolutely beautiful! My botox was placed perfectly as well. She made the experience easy and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be going to see her for my future cosmetic needs!
