At Inner Glow AestheticsMD, we understand that the pursuit of beautiful, naturally enhanced lips is important to you. Many patients express concerns about the overtly augmented “duck lips” prevalent on social media. Dr. Shternfeld is committed to ensuring your lip augmentation results in lips that are balanced, symmetrical, and beautifully proportionate to your facial features.
Using a variety of fillers, each treatment is bespoke, designed to enhance your lips to be plumper, more symmetrical, and to complement your smile exquisitely.
Every face is unique, necessitating a personalized approach to lip augmentation. Dr. Shternfeld has trained with world-renowned injectors like Julie Horne, Arthur Swift, and Shino Bay, among others. Her continuous education in the latest techniques, including the advanced Microcannula method learned in Canada, ensures minimal bruising, reduced swelling, and enhanced safety during your treatment.
Lip augmentation at Inner Glow AestheticsMD not only increases fullness but also enhances the definition of your lips, creating a more youthful and appealing look. It can elevate the corners of your mouth, providing a cheerful, refreshed appearance.
Our hyaluronic acid-based fillers, aimed at volumizing and hydrating, are meticulously injected to accentuate your lips while smoothing fine lines around the mouth. These fillers, long favored for their effectiveness, offer a rejuvenated aesthetic that is visible immediately but optimizes over two to three weeks.

Typically, lip fillers last between 9 to 12 months, although this can vary based on factors like lifestyle and the amount of filler used.
Yes, lip fillers are safe. Our experienced team ensures a comprehensive consultation to discuss your goals and the safety measures in place.
It is normal for lips to feel tender and appear slightly swollen immediately after treatment, but they will soften as they heal, typically within a few days.
Your enhancements will be subtle and designed to complement your natural features, maintaining the authenticity of your facial expressions.
We recommend avoiding makeup on your lips for at least 12 hours post-treatment to ensure optimal healing.
If you are not satisfied with your results, there is the possibility to reverse the treatment. However, we advise against dissolving hyaluronic acid fillers unless absolutely necessary.
Absolutely. The goal is to enhance your lips so they look naturally fuller and more defined, matching your overall facial aesthetics.
