HOME > Lip Filler Injections
Lip augmentation most commonly known as lip fillers is a treatment used with hyaluronic acid to increase the size of one’s lips. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body as it is naturally produced biologically. The results of lip injections, generally, tend to look natural and are naturally dissolved and absorbed by the body within 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used.
Lip fillers are a non surgical procedure that aims to create volume and shape, as well as restore hydration and can reshape lips with signs of aging. Most patients get dermal fillers for shape, structure and volume. The injectable is composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural, structural component found in your body. Dermal filler is semi-permanent and most patients will come back 1-2 times a year for touch-ups.
The most common dermal fillers used for this treatment are Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Prevelle Silk, and HylaForm, among others. Some are better for structure or provide more volume, while others may give a softer look or improve fine lines in the lips. During your consultation, your injector will inform you of the dermal filler that will work best for you and your lips.
It always depends on the type of dermal fillers that the professional licensed injector prefers to use. However, dermal fillers are not permanent, and it usually lasts from 6 months to up to a year. Filler will naturally dissolve into the body as time passes; each patient will dissolve fillers at different paces. Some patients will just have annual appointments, while others may need to come 2-3 times per year to achieve and maintain their desired lips.
It is recommended that patients do not do strenuous exercise, avoid high temperature rooms, avoid alcohol, smoking, and caffeine, do not drink through a straw, and avoid putting on lipstick for at least 24-48 hours after receiving lip injections. It is also important to avoid blood-thinning medications such as Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Motrin as these can cause bruising or swelling in the treatment area.
Patients must book a consultation in advance and be informed of the procedure. Having open communication with your Doctor, and trusting the professional who will conduct the treatment is the most important part. The goal of these treatments is to achieve beautiful natural results that will keep your skin healthier, smoother, and younger.
When done by a professional injector dermal fillers are a safe treatment and results are almost instant after the treatment is done. Lip fillers can also be dissolved by a special solution in case of an adverse side effect, or if the patient dislikes the appearance. It is safe to say that dermal fillers will not damage your lips, however, as mentioned before, it is important to trust the professional that will be performing the treatment.
