The most skilled lip filler results often don’t look “filled” at all — they look balanced, soft, and naturally expressive. There are several artistic techniques Nurse Diane Howard may use during a lip filler appointment:

• Cupid’s Bow Refinement: Gently defining the “M” shape at the center of the upper lip for a more youthful look
• Lip Corner Lift: Softly turning the outer corners of the lips upward to avoid a down turned or tired appearance
• Vertical Symmetry: Balancing the ratio between the upper and lower lips (commonly ideal as 1:1.6)
• Profile Enhancement: Smoothing the lip-chin-nose line for a more aesthetically pleasing side profile

Lip fillers offer more than plumpness — they’re a tool for rejuvenation, hydration, refinement, and confidence. Some of the benefits of a lip filler treatment are:

• Improved Facial Symmetry: Aligning lip proportions with the rest of your features
• Profile Balancing: Enhancing the lips’ projection for a smoother side view
• Defined Shape & Borders: Restoring youthful structure lost with age
• Hydration & Smoothness: HA attracts water, improving texture and softness
• Non-Permanent & Adjustable: Results typically last 6–12 months and can be refined over time

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, hyaluronic acid filler treatments increased by 8% in 2023, totaling approximately 5.3 million procedures.

Whether you’re looking for your first subtle enhancement or a full lip transformation, Nurse Diane tailors every detail to your facial features, lifestyle, and goals.

To enhance your results and support overall facial balance, many clients choose to pair their lip filler with complementary treatments. Nurse Diane can recommend a combination based on your features and goals.

Common pairings include:

• Botox for Lip Flip or Gummy Smile: Relax muscles around the mouth for a lifted, subtle curve
• Chin or Jawline Filler: Create a stronger profile and support lip projection
• Cheek Filler: Adds midface structure and gently lifts the lower face
• Under Eye Filler: Brightens and smooths the tear trough area for a refreshed look

At Esthetic Finesse, all dermal filler treatments are fully customized by Nurse Diane Howard to suit your aesthetic goals, and long-term facial balancing plan. Pricing varies depending on the area treated, the amount of filler needed, and the desired outcome — which is why no two appointments are exactly the same.

• Appointment Length: 30 minutes
• Starting at: $700+ per syringe
• Member Perk: Finesse Family Members receive 15% off all filler treatments

Lip filler pricing varies based on several key factors. Understanding these elements helps you budget realistically and avoid misleading “too-good-to-be-true” offers from non-specialists.

Top factors that influence cost:

• Amount of Filler Used: Some clients need one syringe; others may need more depending on their goals.
• Treatment Area: Areas like the under eyes or jawline require more skill and product, which affects price.
• Type of Filler: Premium brands like Juvederm® or Restylane® Kysse may differ in cost and longevity.
