Lip injections have become increasingly more popular thanks to Kylie Jenner’s lip kits and pouty Instagram models, but how much do you know about them? Or how safe they are for you? We have answered those questions and more, so you’ll know exactly what to expect before you schedule your appointment at Coastal Dermatology & Plastic Surgery in Long Beach, CA.
How Long Do Lip Injections Last?
They will last anywhere from 4-6 months depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the filler solution. Therefore, it is advised that every six months you get another round of injections to keep up with your look.
Are Lip Injections Safe for Everyone?
Lip injections are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance similar in chemical structure to those naturally occurring in the body. Because of this, allergies to lip injections are not common, and they are generally safe for most healthy adults to use.
What If I Don’t Like Them?
If you decide that full, pouty lips aren’t for you, you can get the fillers dissolved, which returns your lips to their original size. Because they are hyaluronic acid-based they can easily be dissolved with an enzyme that melts hyaluronic acid.
What Should You Expect on Your First Visit?
You and a member of our team will discuss where you want to focus your fillers, and they will come up with a treatment plan that will enhance your face shape and features. After you come up with how much and where you’d like your filler concentrated, they gets to work by preparing the area around your lips and injecting the filler. The treatment process is relatively short and will likely be over before you know it!
It is advised that you avoid working out immediately following your injections to prevent excess blood flow to the area, which can result in bruising and swelling. Your lips will be swollen for about 24 hours following the procedure, but after the swelling goes down you will be able to see the size your lips will be until the injectable is metabolized.
Will Lip Injections Change the Way Your Lips Feel?
When done correctly, lip injections will not make your lips feel rubbery or hard even when you’re kissing. In fact, most professionally done fillers will not change the feel of your lips at all.

Praise for excellence

Category: generalSince my first visit with Dr. Luxenberg, I have felt there is hope for my skin. Being an elderly woman of 88 years, a redhead with freckles and sensitive skin, it has never been easy for me to find a doctor who really took the time to be thorough with examination and treatments. Not only is Dr. Luxenberg the best dermatologist I've ever been treated by, but he also has a pleasant bedside manner and an amazing, interesting personality. I can tell that he genuinely cares if his patients are comfortable during treatments. When I was referred to Dr. Luxenberg, some three years ago, it was a very good day for me.
You will not find a better Dermatologist than Dr. Rosenberg
by Matthew Thomas
Category: generalDr. Rosenberg has been my dermatologist since 2005. I grew up swimming competitively while also playing water polo, tennis and volleyball and I knew my years in the sun would ultimately catch up to my skin. His proactive approach and thoroughness during my visits has been a tremendous help! Dr. Rosenberg also has a table side manor that other doctors should strive to achieve. His back office staff are kind, friendly and very timely when responding to questions and inquiries. I cannot say enough good things about him and his practice!!!

Surgery on face
by Christine McDonnell
Category: serviceDr luxenberg I was referred to Dr Matthew Luxenberg at the Los Alamitos office by a friend of mine. He came highly recommended. My L jaw line was extremely swollen and painful. I have presently seen Dr Luxenbery 2x so far. The day of the appt the front office staff & the nursing staff were kind & compassionate. My appts have been right on time so I never had any waiting. They used extra precautions due to covid so I felt very safe. I have been an RN PHN for over 30 years and know many many doctors that I have worked with and gone to as a patient. I have been so impressed with Dr Luxenberg that I felt compelled to write a review. Dr Luxenberg is not only an EXCELLENT doctor but he is also very compassionate . It is very difficult t find doctors that have both competency and compassion. Dr Luxenberg has BOTH . Most doctors would NOT have taken care of my medical problem on the 1st visit. They do an initial visit and have you come back . The staff got me an appt within just a few days & the doctor performed surgery on my jaw line at the FIRST VISIT. The office has a surgical room which most doctor offices do NOT have . They have you go t a an out patient surgical clinic or hospital to perform the surgery. This costs the patient a lot of extra money and Incontinence AND increased exposure t covid. It just goes to show how much Dr Luxenberg CARES about his patients & wants to take care of his patients as quick and easy as possible. MY face looks normal again & all my pain is completely gone. I suffered with this pain for over a year. I had went t a plastic surgeon initially in Jan this year . The plastic surgeon did a very poor job on my face and left my jaw line looking abnormal and did not even take care of my medical problem . I was actually in more pain following that appt. I enjoy my visits with Dr Luxenberg because when he is performing surgery he makes SURE the patient has NO pain during the surgery. He is such an excellent doctor he completed my surgery so quickl
Great!
