Restylane Kysse in New Orleans, LA
Lips lose volume, color, and elasticity with age. As a result, lip fillers have become a popular non-surgical option for patients who want to restore a more youthful appearance and enhance the contours of their lips. After all, plump, smooth lips are a hallmark of youth.
Restylane® Kysse is a newer filler option specifically designed for lip injections. It can be used to smooth wrinkles, enhance definition, and increase volume—while maintaining natural movement and a soft, flexible feel for a more natural-looking result.
While best known for adding overall fullness, dermal fillers can also smooth vertical lip lines (known as perioral wrinkles or smoker’s lines), which often develop over time from repetitive lip movements.

How Does Restylane Kysse Work
Restylane® Kysse consists of a clear injectable gel that contains hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance naturally found in the skin—to add volume and enhance moisture. As a gel, HA combines with water and expands, creating a smoothing and filling effect.
Specifically designed to accommodate natural lip movement, Restylane Kysse is formulated with Galderma’s proprietary XpresHAn Technology (also known as Optimal Balance Technology)—an advanced cross-linking gel that delivers precise, natural-looking results. By modifying how HA binds within the skin, Kysse integrates more fully into the injection area, allowing it to stretch and move with your facial expressions. This results in a softer, more supple feel and a natural appearance, even when talking or smiling.
The particles in this filler are smaller and tend to integrate more effectively into the skin and between tissues than other HA-based products. Delivering fullness in a softer, more natural-looking way is the reason Restylane® Kysse was developed specifically for the lips and mouth area. Additionally, the advanced technology in this filler attracts and retains water in the lips, resulting in a glossier appearance and enhanced lip color.
At the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, our doctors and staff have found that Kysse treatments can last up to a year—significantly longer than the 3 to 6 months typically seen with other lip fillers.

What Does Getting Injected With Restylane Kysse Feel Like?
With the lips being such a sensitive area, patients can always expect some discomfort when getting lip filler injections—but, thankfully, Kysse injections contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps make treatment more comfortable.
A topical numbing agent is used to numb the injection site before Restylane Kysse is injected into your lips as well as the skin above your upper lip by using an ultrafine needle. The injection process continues until the treated area shows the desired results. When completed, the injected area is massaged to ensure the gel is distributed evenly and looks natural.
Getting your lip fillers doesn’t take long, but getting great results does take expertise like that provided by our doctors. They will perform your lip filler injections during a quick office visit—and you’ll be able to go back to your regular routine right after treatment.

FAQs: Restylane Kysse in New Orleans, LA
What is restylane kysse, and how is it used for anti-aging?
Restylane® Kysse is a new filler option for lip injections, designed to smooth wrinkles, enhance definition, and increase volume. Recently approved by the FDA, Restylane Kysse is ideal for people who want to achieve younger-looking lips without the heavy, unnatural feel sometimes associated with traditional fillers.
What are the side effects associated with restylane kysse Lip Filler?
Most patients experience side effects from Restylane Kysse that are mild or moderate and last seven days or less. These side effects are very similar to those experienced with any other HA-based lip filler products and include the following:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Pain and tenderness
- Firmness
- Bruising
- Itching
To ease these side effects, cold compresses can be applied after your treatment.
Avoid any alcoholic beverages 3-5 days before your appointment, stop any vitamins and multivitamins, and avoid taking NSAIDS like Advil or Aleve for five days prior to your treatment. It’s also essential that you avoid sun exposure until the swelling subsides.
Restylane Kysse is the best filler option for plumping your lips as it causes the least amount of swelling compared to other lip fillers on the market. However, potential side effects for this and any other similar treatment should be thoroughly discussed during your consultation, helping you understand precisely what to expect during and after your treatment.
How soon can one exercise after restylane kysse lip injections?
There are no set rules about exercise after receiving lip injections. However, discuss this with your doctor before your treatment. Exercise may increase the risk of bruising and swelling, but it will not cause the product to shift or move.
Can I combine kysse with other cosmetic treatments?
You may choose to complement your HA fillers with neuromodulator injectables, such as Botox or Dysport, to smooth expression lines around the mouth. A gentle laser peel treatment can also be added to precisely treat wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth.
At what age can I get kysse lip filler?
The FDA has approved Restylane Kysse for use by adults over 21. At the New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery, we recommend lip fillers to younger patients looking for more plump, fuller lips and patients in their 40s and older who want to smooth their lip lines and contours or restore volume to their lips.
