The lip filler before-and-after photos below show real patients treated by Dr. Kopelman, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon (FACS) and fellow of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Each patient provided permission to display their photographs online. Results vary by individual.
Whether you are looking for subtle lip definition or fuller volume, the before-and-after lip fillers gallery below shows a range of lip augmentation outcomes across different ages and starting points.
These patients wanted natural-looking improvement, with added definition, improved symmetry, or gentle fullness without a dramatic change.
These patients wanted a more noticeable increase in lip volume, projection, or both.
Every lip injection in this gallery was performed by Dr. Kopelman, not delegated to an assistant or nurse injector. As a facial oculoplastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience in facial anatomy, he tailors the choice of filler, injection technique, and volume to each patient’s lip structure.
Most patients in this gallery received between 0.5 cc and 1.0 cc of hyaluronic acid filler per session. The specific product depends on the desired outcome: Restylane Kysse for soft, flexible volume; Restylane Silk for precise border definition; or standard Restylane for broader fullness. Dr. Kopelman discusses the options during your consultation and recommends the approach that best fits your anatomy and goals.
For patients who want to explore other options for lip shape and proportion, a lip lift may be a better fit. Unlike fillers, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that permanently shortens the space between the nose and upper lip. Dr. Kopelman can help determine which approach, or combination, is right for you.
Lip filler pricing at Kopelman Aesthetic Surgery varies depending on the product used and the volume needed to achieve your goals. Most patients require one syringe (1.0 cc) or less per session.
As a general guide, hyaluronic acid lip fillers typically range from $500 to $1,000 per syringe at our New York, New Jersey, and Palm Beach offices. The exact cost is confirmed during your consultation after Dr. Kopelman evaluates your lip anatomy and discusses the look you want.
Lip injections are not a one-time treatment. Results from hyaluronic acid fillers generally last six to twelve months, depending on the product and your metabolism. Many patients return once or twice a year to keep their results consistent.

Most hyaluronic acid lip fillers last between six and twelve months. Products like Restylane Kysse tend to last toward the longer end of that range because of how they integrate with lip tissue. Touch-up appointments help maintain your results over time.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a brief pinch. Dr. Kopelman uses a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and many fillers contain lidocaine, which further reduces discomfort during injection.
For a subtle improvement, 0.5 cc is often enough. For more noticeable volume, most patients receive 0.8 to 1.0 cc. Dr. Kopelman’s philosophy is to start conservatively and add volume gradually, so results look natural rather than overdone.
There is little to no downtime. Mild swelling and bruising are common for the first 24 to 48 hours. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day. Final results are typically visible within one to two weeks once swelling fully resolves.
Yes. Because hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent, they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the result. This is one of the key advantages of HA-based lip augmentation over other filler types.
Lip filler adds volume and can refine shape, but the results are temporary. A lip lift is a surgical procedure that permanently changes the position of the upper lip relative to the nose. Some patients benefit from combining both. Dr. Kopelman can advise on the best approach for your facial proportions.
