Are you a good candidate for lip filler?

Who's a good fit for lip filler — and who should reconsider, wait, or pick a different procedure.

Good candidates for lip filler share a few things in common: realistic goals, stable health, and a clear understanding of what the procedure can and can't do.

You may be a good candidate if…

• You're in good general health and a non-smoker (or willing to quit).
• Your weight has been stable for at least 6 months.
• Your concern is specific and definable.
• You have time built in for the recovery your surgeon describes.
• You're emotionally stable and not deciding under acute stress.

You may want to wait or reconsider if…

• You have uncontrolled medical conditions or are pregnant/nursing.
• Your expectations don't match what real cases show.
• You're still actively losing or gaining weight.
• A loved one wants the procedure for you more than you do.

Your consultation will cover

• Your medical history, medications, and prior surgeries.
• A focused physical exam.
• Standardized photographs and often AI/morphing previews.
• Risks, alternatives, and realistic outcomes for your anatomy.
• Cost, financing, and surgical scheduling.
