Lip Fillers
in Cresskill, NJ
Lip volume decreases naturally with age, and lip borders lose definition as collagen breaks down around the vermillion line.
GLOW by Elena Reitman MD provides lip filler treatments in Cresskill, NJ to restore fullness, symmetry, and border definition with results that still look and feel like your own lips.
Dr. Reitman selects filler type, injection technique, and volume based on each patient's lip anatomy and goals.
Lip Filler Treatments at GLOW
Lip augmentation at GLOW uses hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume, improve shape, and define lip borders. Unlike permanent implants, HA fillers are adjustable and reversible.
Dr. Reitman evaluates each patient's existing lip volume, facial proportions, and desired outcome before recommending a specific filler product and injection amount. Most first-time patients at GLOW receive 0.5 to 1.0 mL of filler per session.
The treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on the areas treated. Results are visible immediately.
Dr. Reitman's Approach to Lip Fillers
Dr. Reitman evaluates lip anatomy from three perspectives: volume, proportion, and dynamic movement. Static photos alone do not reveal how the lips behave during speech, smiling, and rest.
At GLOW, the consultation includes an assessment of the vermillion border, cupid's bow definition, upper-to-lower lip ratio, and overall facial balance. Dr. Reitman maps injection points based on this evaluation.
She uses a combination of needle and cannula techniques depending on the area. Cannula placement through a single entry point reduces bruising risk in the lip body, while needle technique allows precise border definition.
Lip Filler Options at GLOW
Juvederm Ultra and Volbella
Juvederm Ultra provides moderate fullness for patients who want noticeable volume enhancement. Volbella is a thinner formulation designed for subtle lip border definition and fine perioral lines.
Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse uses XpresHAn technology for flexible results that maintain a natural feel during movement. Dr. Reitman often selects Kysse for patients who prioritize natural lip motion.
Before and After Lip Fillers
GLOW photographs each patient from multiple angles before and after lip filler treatment. Mild swelling is normal for 24 to 72 hours and can temporarily exaggerate the result.
The settled outcome is visible at day seven to ten. Dr. Reitman schedules a follow-up at two weeks to evaluate symmetry and determine whether any adjustment is needed.

Common Questions About Lip Fillers
How long do lip fillers last? +
Lip filler results at GLOW typically last six to twelve months. The lips are a high-movement area, so filler metabolizes faster here than in other facial zones. Dr. Reitman schedules maintenance visits based on each patient's metabolism rate.
Do lip fillers hurt? +
GLOW applies topical numbing cream for 15 to 20 minutes before treatment. Most filler products also contain lidocaine in the gel. Patients describe pressure and mild stinging during injection, not sharp pain.
How much filler do I need for my lips? +
First-time patients at GLOW typically receive 0.5 to 1.0 mL. Dr. Reitman recommends starting conservatively and adding volume at a follow-up if needed. Gradual enhancement produces the most natural-looking results.
Can lip fillers be reversed? +
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers dissolve with hyaluronidase enzyme injection. If a patient at GLOW is dissatisfied with the result or experiences an adverse event, Dr. Reitman can administer the reversal agent.
Will lip fillers look natural? +
Natural results depend on product selection, volume, and injection technique. Dr. Reitman avoids overfilling and uses filler products matched to the tissue thickness of each lip zone. GLOW patients frequently mention that friends notice they look refreshed without identifying filler as the reason.
