Plump Up Your Confidence.
The lips are one of the most striking features of your appearance. However, not everyone is born with a pair of plump, shapely lips.
Even for those who are lucky enough to have a gorgeous pout, over the years, their lips may lose volume and size. As the lips naturally lose volume, their diminished shape can leave the face looking years older than it is. Fortunately, the meticulous lip filler techniques offered by Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics can restore this lost volume, plumping the lips and restoring overall confidence. These before & after photos are from a specific patient. Lip Fillers Results may vary. Schedule a personalized consultation with our doctor to learn more.

A great natural feeling soft tissue filler manufactured by Allergan, the same company that makes Botox Cosmetic. Juvéderm Ultra Plus improves volume and helps with to finesse definition to the lips, primarily at the vermillion border. Meticulous technique also help increase vertical lip height. It can also be used by our injectors to create a Cupid’s Bow or “M” at the top of the lips. Juvederm Ultra Plus can last from 6 to 9 months and offers significant improvement in one session. Juvéderm Ultra Plus can add volume to thin, fading lips.
Another great lip filler in our toolbox is from the Restylane family of fillers. Kysse is a very smooth, soft and pliable gel injectable, made from a mixture of Hyaluronic Acid particles. Kysse can minimal volume to the lips, but does improve the hydration of lips and can be helpful is smoothing out fine lines around the lips, including "smokers lines". Kysse's natural-looking results can last for up to 6 months.
A second-generation Hyaluronic Acid filler from the makers of Restylane, Defyne both plumps the tissues and adds structural support. This filler can also be used to improve definition at the vermillion border along with creating an improved Cupid's Bow. The results look natural and can last for months to come. Restylane Refyne uses XpresHAn Technology™, designed to improve not only the lips but also soften Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines, between the mouth and nose.
Lip fillers offer added volume, improved symmetry, and enhanced lip definition, according to each patient’s individual aesthetic goals. For patients with fine lines and wrinkles around the lips, dermal fillers offer an instantly rejuvenated appearance. Lip fillers are minimally invasive, involves little to no downtime, and delivers instant results that last for several months from a single treatment. Dr. Gopathi has more then a decade of experience with lip filler injections and delivers beautiful results that look natural—never fake or “done.”
Why patients love lip fillers at RISE Med Spa:
Almost anyone can find themselves considering lip fillers, whether looking for a more noticeable pucker or to regain lost volume. They may have naturally thin lips or have noticed a decline in volume as they age. An ideal candidate for lip filler will be in overall good health, holding a clear understanding of the intended procedure. Injectable lip filler techniques can be an excellent choice for anyone, including all skin types and ethnicities.
It is important for patients to have realistic expectations for their results. Prior to scheduling any lip filler procedure, a private consultation will be arranged with Dr. Ravi or Dr. Gopathi. We recommend that our patients refrain from alcohol. Aspirin and Ibuprofen should be taken close to the time of the injections. You may not be a candidate for fillers if you have certain blood disorders that lead to excessive bleeding, bruising, or clotting.
At RISE Med Spa, we believe that every lip enhancement should be as unique as the person receiving it.
By offering a variety of safe lip filler techniques and products, Dr. Gopathi can create custom-tailored treatment plans that will meet each patient’s individual needs and desires. Options include dermal lip fillers, such as Juvéderm Ultra, Juvéderm Volbella and Restylane Refyne. These pliable lip fillers softly create shape in the lips while adding volume. Although there will be some initial swelling, our doctors ultimately strive to keep the area from looking ‘duck-like’. The final results leave your lips looking fuller, more sculpted, and well-defined. Fine, ‘smokers’ lines can be reduced, as well. In a fast, comfortable procedure, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi can achieve the smooth, plump lips each patient desires, creating a new level of self-confidence.
Whether you're looking to make a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable transformation, lip fillers can effectively address a variety of aesthetic concerns:
Dr. Gopathi’s technique ensures that your lips will never look overdone or artificial. Her goal is to enhance, not exaggerate, so the final result feels beautifully in tune with your natural facial features.
This can take 15 to 30 minutes and allows us to review the balance of your face and how lip fillers would affect it. You can also choose to have your consultation and injections performed at the same time which will require about 45 minutes to 1 hour in the Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ office. At this time, the provider will get to know the patient and their aesthetic needs. A brief examination of the lips and facial tissue will be performed. Houston lip filler providers, Dr. Gopathi and Dr. Ravi will discuss all of the lip filler options in detail, showing photographs of their recent patients who underwent a similar procedure.
After answering any remaining questions, the surgeon will create a personalized lip filler treatment plan. Many of the treatments and techniques can be performed during the same, initial visit. This includes the use of Botox Cosmetic or other dermal fillers for facial contouring procedures, such as Voluma for cheek contouring and Juvéderm for nasolabial folds. During the consultation appointment, the exact cost of treatment will be determined. A Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ patient coordinator will go over all of the payment options, assisting in finding the right method to pair with each patient’s budget.
There are several methods available for lip enhancement at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, including the popular, soft tissue lip fillers.
The best technique will depend on the individual patient’s aesthetic goals and lifestyle. The injectable lip filler techniques are performed in a comfortable, in-office treatment room. Soft tissue lip fillers are the most popular, temporary lip enhancement technique. Created from biocompatible materials, lip fillers plump tissues as they are injected, providing immediate results. Many products contain Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that encourages the production of collagen. The benefits from a soft tissue filler in the lips can last for up to one year.
SOFT, BALANCED, BEAUTIFULLY YOU
One of the things our patients love most about lip fillers at RISE Med Spa is how quickly they see results. Immediately after your treatment, you’ll notice a visible difference in lip volume and definition. While some swelling is normal at first, your final results will begin to settle in over the following few days—revealing lips that look naturally fuller and more sculpted.
Most lip filler results last 6 to 9 months, with some patients seeing effects for up to a full year. Longevity depends on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and how much product was placed. If you’d like to maintain your look over time, touch-up appointments every 6 to 12 months can keep your lips looking just the way you love them.
Lip filler treatments are quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime. That’s why many of our patients schedule their appointment during a lunch break or in between daily errands—it’s that simple. You can return to work or your regular activities immediately afterward.
That said, it’s normal to experience swelling, redness, or mild bruising around the injection site, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. For most patients, any visible signs of treatment fade by day three to five.
Your aftercare is easy and straightforward—no special routines required. After your treatment, you can apply makeup as usual and go about your day. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat (like saunas), or alcohol for the first 24 hours to minimize the chance of swelling or bruising.
Dr. Gopathi and the team at RISE Med Spa will provide personalized aftercare instructions to support your best results. While serious side effects are extremely rare when your treatment is performed by a skilled, board-certified provider, we encourage all patients to contact us with any questions or concerns. Your comfort and safety are always our top priorities.
Pro Tip: Ice packs (wrapped in a clean cloth) can help minimize swelling, and staying hydrated helps your body heal faster.
INVEST IN CONFIDENCE
At RISE Med Spa, lip filler pricing is always transparent and personalized based on your unique needs. The cost of treatment typically starts around $750 per syringe, using premium, FDA-approved products like Juvéderm or Restylane. Most patients need half to one full syringe to achieve a natural-looking result, though some may benefit from a bit more depending on their goals and starting volume.
It’s important to remember that lip fillers are not a one-size-fits-all procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Swapna Gopathi will evaluate your facial features, listen to what you’re hoping to achieve, and recommend the exact amount of product needed to reach your desired outcome. Her goal is always to deliver results that look soft, balanced, and beautifully in sync with your natural features.
