Why a facial plastic surgeon matters for lips

Lips sit at the center of every photograph, and the margin for error is small. Dr. Melanie Petro is double board-certified in facial plastic surgery and treats the lip as part of the whole lower face — proportion first, syringes second.

2. Topical numbing for about fifteen minutes
3. Injection — roughly fifteen minutes
4. Ice, arnica, and a follow-up two weeks later if needed

Lip Filler questions we hear most

How much is lip filler in Birmingham? One syringe is $650 through August 2026, placed by a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon.

Will my lips look fake? No. Dr. Petro shapes lips to your face — balance and border definition first, volume second. Duck lips are not the house style.

How long does lip filler last? Typically nine to twelve months depending on the product and your metabolism.

Does it hurt? Topical numbing plus lidocaine in the filler keeps it very tolerable. The appointment takes about thirty minutes.

How much swelling should I expect? Peak swelling is at 24 to 48 hours and settles within a week. Plan around big events by two weeks.
