Thin lips, asymmetry or volume loss over time can make the lips look tired and out of proportion. Lip filler is a non-surgical method that gives the lips natural fullness, defines their outline and creates a look in harmony with the face.
How Is Lip Filler Performed?
After planning in line with the anatomy of your lips, the specialist doctor performs the filler injection. During the treatment the lip line is defined, volume is added and asymmetries are corrected. Once complete, the lips look fuller, natural and well-proportioned. Mild swelling or redness may appear afterwards and usually disappears completely within a few days.
Who Is Lip Filler Suitable For?
Lip filler suits people who want to increase lip volume, define the lip line or lift drooping mouth corners. It is also an option for those with lip asymmetry or an unclear lip border. It is a good choice for anyone seeking a quick, non-surgical result.
Advantages of Lip Filler
Lip filler adds natural fullness, defines the lip line and brings the expression to life. The treatment is quick and does not interrupt your social life. As it is non-surgical, no stitches or long recovery are needed. The filler preserves the natural look of the lips and does not create an exaggerated effect.
Recovery and Results
Fullness and definition are noticeable immediately after the treatment. Mild swelling and redness fade within a few days. The effect usually lasts 6 to 12 months; for some people this varies with the amount of filler used, lip structure and metabolism. Repeat sessions can extend the result.
Aftercare and Recommendations
After treatment, avoid pressing on the lips and very hot or cold environments. Do not massage the lip area on the first day and avoid strenuous physical activity. Use the recommended care products and follow your doctor's instructions. These simple steps help the results of your lip filler last longer.
When Is Lip Filler Performed?
Lip filler can be performed on any healthy adult who is unhappy with thin or low-volume lips, has irregularities in lip shape or symmetry, or is bothered by lines on and above the lips. Healthy adults who are concerned about lack of volume, thinness or the shape of their lips can benefit from lip filler.
In fact, lip augmentation has long been one of the treatments plastic surgeons have frequently used, especially for facial deformities such as cleft lip, using fat grafting or fillers such as hyaluronic acid.
