Lip Enhancement
Lip Filler & the Passionate Pout™
Beautifully plumped, natural-looking lips by Dr. Bair, Albuquerque's “Lip Expert” and certified Allergan instructor.
Among all facial filling treatments offered at Bair Medical Spa, lip augmentation is one of the most popular. Dr. Bair has earned the title “Lip Expert” in Albuquerque through his ability to restore a “Passionate Pout” to thinning lips. The Passionate Pout technique creates perfectly kissable lips — not overfilled but plumped to just the right size.
Allergan, the makers of BOTOX and JUVEDERM XC, have made Dr. Bair a certified instructor in their “Injecting with Confidence” physician training program, recognizing his expertise in both lip enhancement and broader facial aesthetics. This certification means Dr. Bair trains other physicians on proper injection techniques — a distinction held by only a select few practitioners nationwide.
Lip augmentation at Bair Medical Spa is about artistry as much as technique. The goal is to enhance your lips in proportion to your other facial features, restoring youthful fullness, improving definition along the lip border, and smoothing vertical lip lines — all while maintaining a natural, soft appearance. Whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, the clinical team will tailor your treatment to your individual goals.
Restylane® KYSSE
Restylane KYSSE is designed with XpresHAn Technology to enhance lip volume and smooth upper lip lines while maintaining natural movement and expression of the lips. This advanced formulation allows the filler to move with your facial expressions, so your lips look natural whether you are smiling, speaking, or at rest. KYSSE is one of the most popular choices for patients seeking a fuller, more defined pout with lasting results.
JUVEDERM® ULTRA XC
JUVEDERM ULTRA XC is an injectable gel that temporarily adds fullness and plumps lips, whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look. It is also used to temporarily smooth and correct moderate to severe parentheses lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. The built-in lidocaine provides added comfort during the injection process.
REVANESSE® LIPS™+
REVANESSE LIPS+ is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler specifically designed for lip augmentation. It provides soft, natural-looking volume enhancement to the lips with smooth, even results. Formulated with the same advanced Thixofix technology as REVANESSE VERSA+, LIPS+ is optimized for the delicate lip tissue to create beautifully full, naturally shaped lips.
Additional Lip Options
Restylane SILK is designed specifically for lip augmentation and smoothing wrinkles around the mouth, using smaller, smoother particles for precise lip shaping and natural-looking results. JUVEDERM VOLBELLA XC is designed for subtle lip volume and correction of perioral lip lines. Your clinician will recommend the best product — or combination of products — based on your lip anatomy and desired outcome.

Ideal Candidates
Is Lip Filler Right for You?
Lip filler is an excellent option if you have noticed your lips thinning with age, want to add volume and definition, or wish to smooth vertical lip lines that cause lipstick to bleed. It is also popular among younger patients who desire fuller, more symmetrical lips as an enhancement to their natural features.
Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and are not currently pregnant or nursing. If you have a history of cold sores, let your clinician know — a preventive antiviral medication may be recommended before treatment.
During your complimentary consultation, your Bair Medical Spa clinician will evaluate your lip shape, discuss your goals, and recommend the best filler and technique to achieve your ideal Passionate Pout.
The Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Your clinician evaluates your lip shape, proportion, and facial balance. Together you discuss your desired outcome — subtle enhancement, full restoration, or something in between.
Preparation
Topical numbing cream is applied to the lips for maximum comfort. The treatment area is cleansed and prepared.
Injection
Using precise, artful technique, your clinician injects the selected filler along the lip border and body. The Passionate Pout technique ensures proportional, natural-looking results. The procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Aftercare
You will see immediate fullness. Minor swelling is normal and typically peaks at 24 to 48 hours before subsiding. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours. Final results are visible within one to two weeks.
Recovery & Results
Beautiful Lips, Minimal Downtime
Lip filler results are visible immediately, though your final outcome will be most apparent once any initial swelling subsides, typically within one to two weeks. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
Mild swelling, tenderness, and occasional bruising are common in the first 24 to 48 hours. Applying ice and keeping your head elevated can help minimize these effects. Your clinician may advise avoiding kissing, drinking through straws, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
Results from lip fillers typically last six to twelve months depending on the product used. Restylane KYSSE and JUVEDERM ULTRA XC are known for their longevity in the lips. Many patients schedule maintenance appointments every nine to twelve months to maintain their Passionate Pout. Over time, regular treatments can help maintain lip volume more consistently.

Does lip filler hurt?
