Full, smooth lips can make your whole face look younger and more refreshed. When we are young, our lips have a naturally soft texture and a full, hydrated appearance thanks to abundant collagen and hyaluronic acid. As we age, collagen production slows down and environmental stressors like sun exposure, smoking, and daily movement gradually thin the lips and create fine lines around the mouth.
At BEAUX MedSpa, we use modern lip augmentation techniques and advanced hyaluronic acid fillers to restore volume, definition, and smoothness to the lips. Our injectors work with premium products such as Teoxane RHA, Juvéderm, Restylane, and more to create soft, natural-looking results.
Kristin Gunn is known for delivering some of the most natural-looking lip filler in Austin, even in the most challenging lips. She has developed a specialized technique designed for long-lasting results with far less discomfort than typical treatments.
These fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance that already occurs naturally in your skin. It attracts and holds water, so it adds instant volume while also keeping the lips soft and hydrated. Because the product integrates smoothly into the tissue, your lips look plump yet still feel like your own.
Ideal Candidates for Lip Filler
You may be a good candidate for lip augmentation if you are in good overall health and want fuller, more defined lips or a smoother lip line. Many of our patients choose lip filler to:
- Restore volume that has diminished with age
- Enhance naturally thin lips
- Balance asymmetry between the upper and lower lips
- Soften “smoker’s lines” and fine lines around the mouth
During your consultation, we discuss your goals and review whether lip filler, or a combination of injectables, will give you the most natural and flattering result.
Lip Filler Procedure
Most lip filler appointments take only a few minutes. First, we apply a topical numbing cream so you stay comfortable throughout the treatment. Then, our award-winning team of injectors carefully places small amounts of filler using a very fine needle or cannula.
Because we use hyaluronic acid fillers, we can control volume precisely and shape the lips with intention. Our goal is to enhance your natural lip shape rather than create an overfilled look. As your lips heal, the product settles and any initial swelling fades, leaving a smooth, soft finish.
Many patients love our “Slow Build” approach, where we add a half syringe more frequently instead of a large amount at once. This method maintains a natural look, allows for fine-tuning, and gradually builds lasting volume.
Lip Filler Results
You will see fuller lips right away after your treatment. Mild swelling and tenderness are common, but these effects usually peak in the first 24–48 hours and then fade quickly. As this happens, your lips soften and look even more natural.
Most patients enjoy their lip augmentation results for 9–12 months, sometimes longer, depending on the product used, lifestyle, and metabolism. When you are ready for a touch-up, we can maintain or refine your look with a personalized plan.

Lip Augmentation FAQ
How long do lip fillers last?
Most lip fillers last between 9 and 12 months. However, your individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific product we use can affect longevity. We will recommend a follow-up schedule that helps you maintain your results.
Will my lips look natural?
Yes. Our focus is always on natural-looking lip augmentation. We enhance your existing shape rather than create an obvious “overfilled” look. The Slow Build method is especially popular for patients who want a subtle, progressive change.
Is lip augmentation painful?
Most patients describe lip filler as very tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream first, and many fillers also contain lidocaine for added comfort. You may feel pressure or a quick pinch, but the treatment is quick and discomfort fades soon afterward.
How much downtime should I expect?
Downtime is usually minimal. Expect some swelling and possible bruising for 24–48 hours, which you can often cover with makeup once the skin has settled. Many patients return to normal activities the same day.
Can lip fillers be reversed?
Yes. If needed, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. We rarely need to use it, but it offers added peace of mind for patients who are new to lip augmentation.
