The short answer
Lip filler at our Red Bank location uses hyaluronic acid gel to add definition, correct asymmetry or restore lost fullness. Topical numbing is used and the appointment takes around forty minutes. Lips swell substantially at first, so the settled result is assessed at around two weeks.

Lip treatment carries the widest gap between an obvious result and a natural one, and closing that gap is about restraint and placement rather than product choice. Patients in this market are generally explicit about wanting the conservative end of that spectrum.
Assessment looks at the lip at rest and in movement. A mouth that reads as balanced when still can look quite different in conversation, and conversation is what other people actually see.
This page is about lip filler alone. what we offer in Red Bank covers the full range at this location.
Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid gel to add definition, correct asymmetry or restore fullness. Placement and restraint, not product choice, separate a natural result from an obvious one.

The Red Bank lip list runs across a wide age range. Younger patients from Rumson, Little Silver and Fair Haven typically ask for border definition; patients in their forties and fifties more often want fullness genuinely lost over time replaced, along with support for lines above the lip.
Correction of previous work is the third category, and dissolving first is frequently the honest starting point before anything new is placed.
Patients often ask about Botox for Red Bank patients and Juvederm for Red Bank patients during the same consultation. Whether more than one treatment is appropriate on a single visit is a clinical decision made at assessment.
The same procedure is offered at our other offices – for example Lip Filler in Cashiers.

Pricing follows the plan rather than the other way round. Once the assessment has established what is appropriate, the cost of that plan is set out clearly, including whether more than one session is likely to be needed.
Assessment and treatment are carried out by Anita Dormer, MD. Continuity matters in aesthetic medicine – the person who decided on the plan is the person best placed to judge whether it worked.
Background on the practice is on the meet the team page.
The most noticeable swelling passes in three to five days, with the settled result at around two weeks. Book at least a fortnight ahead of anything important.
Hyaluronic acid lip filler can be broken down with hyaluronidase. That is covered as part of consent before treatment, not raised only if something goes wrong.
Often, yes. A conservative first treatment reviewed at two weeks and adjusted afterwards tends to produce a more proportionate result than a single larger appointment.
Any history of cold sores, since antiviral cover is often advised before lip treatment, and any blood-thinning medication or supplements.
