If you have been thinking about adding volume to your lips or refining their shape, lip filler treatments at Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Porterville may be the perfect solution. We offer safe, personalized treatments using hyaluronic acid-based fillers to create soft, smooth, and naturally fuller lips that suit your facial features.
We design each lip filler appointment around your preferences, whether you want a soft touch of definition or more noticeable volume. The goal is always to enhance your features in a way that feels natural, balanced, and true to you.
Lip fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that helps improve the volume, hydration, and shape of the lips using hyaluronic acid (HA) based products. Because HA is naturally found in the body, these fillers blend smoothly into the skin and give a soft, hydrated appearance.
The filler is injected into specific areas of the lips using a fine needle or microcannula. The amount and placement are adjusted to your personal goals, whether that means increasing volume, smoothing fine lines, or enhancing definition.
Hyaluronic acid binds with water to create volume and lock in moisture. This means your lips not only look fuller but also feel softer and more hydrated. It also helps improve the texture of the lips and minimize vertical lip lines.
At ABLC Porterville, we treat a variety of cosmetic concerns using lip fillers:
Lip Fullness: Add volume to achieve a plump, soft appearance
Definition: Sharpen the edges and shape of the lips
Fine Lines: Smooth vertical lines around the lips
Asymmetry: Correct uneven lips for better balance
Texture: Boost hydration and smoothness
We use only trusted, FDA-approved brands known for their safety, softness, and flexibility. Your provider will help you select the right option for your unique anatomy and preferences.
Juvederm Ultra XC offers noticeable volume while keeping lips smooth and soft. Volbella XC is a lightweight option that adds subtle fullness and reduces fine lines around the lips.
Restylane Silk and Kysse is ideal for creating volume with a natural, flexible finish that moves with your expressions. Silk is perfect for delicate work around the lip border and smoothing texture.
Revanesse Versa offers consistent, even results with less swelling than other fillers. It is especially popular among clients who want definition and structure without dramatic volume.
Not everyone is a candidate for lip fillers, which is why we offer consultations to understand your goals and assess whether this treatment suits you.
You might be a great candidate for lip filler treatment if you:
1.) Want to enhance lip shape or add subtle volume
2.) Are in generally good health
3.) Have realistic expectations about the results
4.) Prefer a temporary and reversible option
Lip fillers are not recommended if you:
1.) Are pregnant or breastfeeding
2.) Have an active infection, rash, or cold sore near the lips
3.) Are currently on blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder
4.) Have a known allergy to ingredients in hyaluronic acid fillers
From your first consultation to post-treatment care, our team is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
We begin with a full consultation to understand your goals and review your medical history. Your injector will examine your lip shape and facial structure and then recommend a filler type and treatment plan suited to your needs. You can ask any questions you have and feel confident in moving forward.
Your lips will be cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to reduce sensitivity. Once the area is numb, your injector will use a needle or cannula to carefully place the filler. Attention is given to symmetry and natural proportion, ensuring results that complement your features.
Treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. You will see results right away, although some swelling is expected during the first few days.
It is normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness after your session. These effects usually go away within a few days as your lips begin to settle.
For best results, follow these aftercare tips:
1.) Use a cold compress in the first 24 hours to reduce swelling
2.) Avoid alcohol and intense physical activity for 24 to 48 hours
3.) Do not press or massage your lips during the healing period
4.) Avoid wearing lipstick or makeup near the lips until fully healed
You will start seeing your final results within a week once the swelling subsides, and the filler settles naturally into the lips. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, and touch-ups can be scheduled as needed.

Bruising is a common but temporary side effect. It often depends on your skin’s sensitivity, the technique used, and whether you’ve taken blood-thinning medications. Using arnica cream or avoiding certain supplements beforehand may help minimize bruising.
Most treatments use one syringe (about 1 ml) for subtle to moderate enhancement. Some clients may require more dramatic changes or corrections. Your provider will discuss the appropriate amount based on your goals.
Yes, but your injector will need to assess the area first. Fillers can be safely placed around healed tattoos, but timing and placement are important. Always disclose any previous cosmetic tattooing during your consultation.
It’s generally safe to fly after treatment, though some patients prefer to wait 24 to 48 hours due to swelling and pressure changes. Pack soothing skincare and stay hydrated if traveling soon after your appointment. Let your provider know if you plan to travel post-treatment.
Mild lumpiness can occur in the first few days due to swelling or filler settling. This usually resolves on its own. If you notice persistent lumps after two weeks, schedule a follow-up for a quick assessment.
It’s best to avoid intense exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Elevated heart rate and blood flow can increase swelling and bruising. Stick to gentle activity and give your body time to rest.
A lip flip uses Botox to relax the muscles around the mouth, causing the upper lip to appear slightly fuller. Lip filler physically adds volume using hyaluronic acid. Both treatments can be used alone or together for different effects.
No, lip filler results are temporary. Your body gradually breaks down the hyaluronic acid over time. How long it lasts depends on the product used and your natural metabolism.
Yes, lip fillers pair well with treatments like Botox, facials, or skincare routines. Your provider can recommend a combined plan based on your goals. Always use space treatments to avoid overstressing the area.
Most clients resume daily activities immediately. Swelling and tenderness usually improve within a few days. You may want to avoid social events for 24 to 48 hours if you’re concerned about appearance.
