Lip Filler in Norman, OK with Heather Franco, APRN
Lip Filler
Fuller lips that still look like yours. Lip filler at Franco Aesthetics uses hyaluronic acid to add volume and shape that fits your face. Patients drive in from across Oklahoma for our lip work — and the most common compliment they hear is “you look great,” not “you got your lips done.”
Anyone can put filler in a lip. The result you see walking around Norman — that’s technique. We build lips in proportion to your features: the right ratio between upper and lower lip, border definition without the “shelf,” volume that moves naturally when you talk and smile.
Full Syringe or Half?
What to Expect
Numbing first
Numbing cream goes on for about 15 minutes, and the filler itself contains lidocaine. ProNox (laughing gas) is available if needles make you tense.
The treatment
The injection takes 20–30 minutes; the full appointment runs about 45. You’ll see the shape taking form before you leave.
The real result
Swelling and light bruising are normal for one to two weeks — more pronounced your first time. Your true result shows once swelling settles. Results last 6–12 months.
Led by Heather Franco, APRN, FNP-C
If you bring us a photo of lips that won’t suit your anatomy, we’ll tell you — and show you what will. Led by Heather Franco, APRN, FNP-C — Franco Aesthetics’ owner and lead injector — and our licensed clinical team. Heather sets the clinical standard and trains every injector on it. The look stays consistent across the team: natural-looking results, never overdone.
Lip Flip or Lip Filler?
When a lip flip is enough
A lip flip uses a few units of Botox or Dysport along the upper lip border to relax the muscle so the lip rolls slightly outward. Subtle, fast, no volume added — a 15-minute appointment. If you want a hint of fullness with low commitment, start here. Learn more on our Botox & Dysport page.
Instant Results
Filler is immediate — you’ll see the new shape before you leave, and the final result settles in over one to two weeks as swelling resolves. A lip flip takes 3–7 days to show as the neurotoxin kicks in.
Built Around Your Lips
No two lips get the same plan. Shape, ratio, border, volume — we adjust technique and product placement to your anatomy and your goal, whether that’s a soft refresh or a defined, fuller look.
When filler is the right call
Filler adds real structure and fullness with hyaluronic acid — visible volume, sharper border definition, balanced proportions. It lasts 6–12 months, and it’s reversible. Plenty of patients start with a flip and graduate to filler when they want more.
Minimally Invasive, No Real Downtime
Both treatments are needles-only — no surgery, no anesthesia. With filler, plan around a week or two of swelling; with a flip, you go straight back to your day. Either way you’re in and out within the hour.
Long-Lasting, Yet Temporary
Lip filler lasts 6–12 months — long enough to live with, never permanent. If your taste changes, it fades on its own or can be dissolved in one quick appointment.
Personalized Consultation
Your appointment begins with a real conversation about your lips — your goals, your anatomy, and what will actually suit your face. We review your medical history, look at your proportions, and design the plan: half syringe or full, flip or filler.
Preparation & Treatment
We cleanse the area and apply topical numbing cream — ProNox is there if you want it. Heather or our clinical team places the filler with a gentle, precise technique: volume, border definition, balance. About 45 minutes start to finish.
Post-Treatment & Healing
Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal and temporary — plan on one to two weeks for everything to settle, with your true result showing after. We send you home with aftercare instructions and a Franco Aesthetics ice pack. Lip filler typically lasts 6–12 months; most patients refresh once a year.
The Franco Aesthetics Experience
Every lip filler appointment at Franco Aesthetics starts with a real conversation — your lips, your proportions, your goal — before any product comes out. Numbing is standard, the appointment runs about 45 minutes, and aftercare is simple: avoid pressure on the treated area for 24 hours, then back to your normal routine.
Many patients pair lip filler with Botox or Dysport in the same visit — filler shapes the lips, neurotoxin softens the lines around them.
