BOSTON PLASTIC SURGERY
Full, well-defined lips have long been associated with youth and beauty, but overplumped results have given lip fillers a complicated reputation. Many people worry about looking “overdone”, but when performed properly, today’s techniques can deliver safe, subtle, natural-looking results.
At Clareo Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons and registered nurses offer lip filler treatments in Chestnut Hill that enhance the mouth while respecting your proportions. With over 20 years of experience serving Greater Boston, Clareo has helped thousands of patients achieve confident, natural-looking results with a focus on safety and precision.
Lip filler adds volume, definition, and shape to the mouth using hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in your body. Because HA is already present in your skin, it’s accepted comfortably with minimal risk of allergic reaction. The molecules attract and bind water, creating smooth, natural-looking volume that moves with your expressions.
Modern treatments address two goals:
As you age, the vermillion border (the outer edge) and Cupid’s bow can lose definition, softening the natural shape of the mouth. FDA-approved HA products can restore subtle volume and structure, lasting 3 to 12 months while allowing results to be refined over time.
With Clareo, the emphasis is always on harmony — the “Golden Ratio” of aesthetic balance — ensuring results complement your facial features naturally.
Clareo surgeons have served Greater Boston for over 20 years, focusing on cosmetic procedures. Treatments are designed to enhance natural proportions while prioritizing safety and individualized care. Every procedure emphasizes subtle, balanced results that complement the overall face.
At Clareo, treatments are performed personally by board-certified surgeons Dr. Michael Tantillo, Dr. Christopher Lee, and lead injector, Shabeli Villa, RN. Their training and experience provide the foundation for safe, precise injections that enhance harmony.
The expertise ensures:
Lip filler can also be combined with Botox or fat transfer to enhance overall balance and create results that look and feel natural.
Treatments at Clareo are tailored to each patient. During your consultation, your provider identifies which FDA-approved HA products will best enhance your mouth while respecting your proportions. Some provide subtle plumping, some add more noticeable volume for a natural, balanced result.
Different areas respond best to different qualities. The vermillion border and Cupid’s bow provide structure and definition, while the pads benefit from softer, more flexible volume. Your medical professional may combine products in a single session to create a balanced, natural-looking result.
Your provider considers your current size and shape, skin quality, and the level of enhancement that feels right for your face. Many of our patients seek to restore volume lost with age, and others aim to refine the border or improve overall proportion.
Clareo’s approach is always conservative at first, starting with a modest amount to ensure subtle, balanced results. HA products are adjustable, so additional volume can be added at follow-up appointments, or results can be modified or dissolved if needed.
Your first filler consultation at Clareo is a private, one-on-one conversation with Shabeli Villa, RN, usually lasting 30 to 45 minutes. There’s no pressure to move forward — this is your time to explore your goals and ask questions. You’ll start by discussing what you want to improve or enhance and what results you hope to achieve. She will also review your medical history, including past cosmetic treatments and any history of cold sores.
During the exam, your provider evaluates your mouth, skin, and overall proportions to see how your features work together. This helps guide placement so results look natural and in harmony with the rest of your face. You’ll also discuss which products are best for your anatomy, what results are realistic, and how long they typically last.
Before your consultation, it helps to come prepared with questions so you feel confident and informed. You might ask:
Treatment at Clareo is performed in-office by a board-certified surgeon or by a nurse injector and usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Before the injections, numbing is applied with a topical cream and ice, and most products also contain lidocaine for added comfort. The provider then carefully places the material to enhance your mouth while preserving its natural shape. Results are visible immediately, though mild swelling is common.
Most patients can return to everyday activities right away, but it’s best to skip strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours.
Following simple aftercare steps can help minimize swelling and support the best results:
Complications are rare when treatments are performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon or nurse injector. However, contact Clareo immediately if you notice unusual symptoms, such as severe pain, changes in skin color, or vision problems.
Results usually last 3 to 12 months, depending on the product, your metabolism, and lifestyle. Because the mouth is highly mobile, treatments tend to break down faster than in areas like the cheeks.
Clareo takes a gradual approach, starting conservatively so you can adjust to your new look. To maintain results over time, patients follow a plan that includes:
Discomfort is minimal. Clareo uses topical numbing cream and ice, and most products contain lidocaine. Patients usually feel only slight pressure, making the procedure comfortable and well-tolerated.
Results typically last 3 to 12 months, depending on product type, metabolism, and lifestyle. Hyaluronic acid treatments can be safely dissolved with hyaluronidase, allowing adjustments if you want to modify your look.
Natural results are the priority at Clareo. Your provider works with your proportions and recommends conservative amounts to subtly enhance your features while maintaining balance and expression.
Yes. Many patients combine enhancement with Botox, cheek or other injectable treatments, or non-surgical skin treatments for a more balanced, refreshed appearance.
Yes. Because injections can trigger outbreaks, however, Clareo provides preventive antiviral medication starting the day before treatment to minimize the risk and keep your experience safe and comfortable.
Lip filler can subtly enhance your lips, restoring shape, definition, and balance without looking overdone. At Clareo Plastic Surgery, board-certified surgeons use over 20 years of experience to create results that complement your features and feel authentic.
