The RHA® Collection
What is lip filler?
Lip filler is a simple yet highly effective cosmetic procedure designed to add volume, definition, and shape to the lips. The treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance made from hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in the skin) into targeted areas of the lips. This filler not only plumps up the lips but also helps to soften fine lines around the mouth, giving a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Dr. Gurley prefers to use the RHA® Collection of dynamic dermal fillers from Revance. These resilient hyaluronic acid fillers are globally recognized as the most natural option on the market. Their molecular structure closely mimics our own hyaluronic acid, allowing these fillers to not only look beautiful but also function and maintain their appearance exceptionally well. Dr. Gurley chooses the RHA® Collection of injectable fillers because they hold up well, look natural, and perform well in dynamic areas of the face.
The Process
What is the lip filler treatment like?
During your consultation, Dr. Gurley will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your facial features, and choose the appropriate filler for your needs. The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, and because Dr. Gurley uses numbing agents, you should experience minimal discomfort. The injection sites are carefully evaluated throughout the procedure, and Dr. Gurley will ensure that your lips are enhanced to achieve the most natural, balanced result possible.
Dr. Gurley’s goal is always to create lips that look full and youthful but never overfilled. She focuses on subtle, harmonious changes that enhance your natural beauty. After the procedure, you may experience some swelling or bruising, which will subside within a few days.
Lip filler to the rescue!
What conditions does lip filler address?
Lip filler is perfect for addressing a variety of concerns, including:
- Thin Lips: For individuals who have naturally thin lips or have lost volume over time, lip filler can add fullness and definition.
- Perioral Lines (Lip Wrinkles): Filler can smooth out fine lines around the mouth, especially vertical lines above the lips (often called “smoker’s lines”).
- Asymmetry: If one lip is slightly larger or positioned differently than the other, lip filler can help achieve better symmetry and balance.
- Volume Loss: As we age, lips can lose volume and elasticity. Lip filler restores this volume for a more youthful appearance.
- Lip Contouring: Lip filler can enhance the shape and contour of the lips, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.

Experience Expert Lip Filler Treatment
Am I a candidate for lip filler?
Lip filler is suitable for individuals who want to enhance the fullness and definition of their lips. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have thin or uneven lips that could benefit from added volume and symmetry.
- You want to smooth out lines around the mouth, such as fine vertical lines or “smoker’s lines.”
- You desire a subtle, natural enhancement that doesn’t look overdone.
Who should avoid lip filler?
- Those with active lip infections or cold sores may need to wait until the condition clears before undergoing treatment.
- If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s best to postpone cosmetic treatments like lip filler until after these stages.
