But what about pain? Do lip fillers hurt?

Do Lip Injections Hurt During the Treatment?

Many people aren’t in love with the idea of a needle in such a sensitive area as the lips. One of the most frequently asked questions is, “Do lip fillers hurt?” The reality is that you may feel some discomfort and a stinging sensation, but most patients find it tolerable. 


If you’re really concerned about pain, speak to your provider before treatment. You can request a topical numbing cream be applied to the upper and bottom lips to minimize pain. Plus, many lip filler brands like Juvéderm contain a numbing agent to help.

What About After Treatment? Will I Experience Pain Then?

One of the reasons lip fillers are so popular is because recovery is quite simple. You can easily resume your normal daily activities, although you should refrain from vigorous activities for a few days. 


You’ll likely experience some swelling and soreness. While your provider can provide you with full aftercare instructions, using an ice pack for several days after treatment does help quite a bit.

So, What’s the Bottom Line? Do Lip Fillers Hurt?

It’s impossible to predict your experience. Everyone has a different tolerance for pain. What hurts you might not hurt someone else. The best advice is to work closely with your provider. Make sure you follow all pre-and post-treatment instructions carefully, and you’ll love your results!
