Lip Fillers: Everything You Need To Know
Lip fillers nowadays are one of the most popular types of dermal filler. They increase the volume of your lips. Candidates should be in good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations.
Contrary to popular belief — and likely a solid argument behind the usage of lip fillers — is that lip fillers have many benefits aside from that plumped-up look. There are many reasons that people come to see me about lip fillers. Many older people have a completely different motivation — they just want their lips to feel closer to how they did 20 years ago in order to correct the volume loss that happens over time.
What are lip fillers?
Dermal filler is one of the most popular treatments since the lip region is one of the most requested spots from patients for the filler to be injected. A wide variety of dermal filler options are available that allow doctors to completely customize each patient's lip filler treatment with specific goals and concerns, whether that's sharpening the lip c, balancing lip asymmetry, restoring volume, or adding a boost of hydration to smooth subtle cracks.
Why is lip fillers used?
Adding volume to the lips can help to address a variety of concerns, outside of just wanting a pillow look. This includes cases that would be considered reconstructive due to an inherent occurrence or an accident that created a plethora of scar tissue in the lip. Your lips may become less full over time for a variety of reasons, including:
Hereditary
Excessive Smoking
Environmental change
Are there any risks to getting lip fillers?
Side effects can range from annoying to not-so-serious. It is not possible to round the risks out without talking about the major catastrophic complications.
However, it does not have to mean disaster if your injector is experienced and prepared. There is safety in using a filler that can be easily dissolved," If we see a color change, if we see any signs of compromise, we can quickly reverse it with hyaluronidase.
To significantly evade the disastrous potential side effects, it is important for patients to entrust — and only entrust — a board-certified dermatologist or a plastic surgeon to do their injections, as they have gone through years of comprehensive medical training to not only avoid such possibilities but they also to be counted on to dive right in to nullify the damage if any such rare side effect does occur.
Do lip filler injections hurt?
A needle to the face is never going to be a walk in the park, but most doctors will apply a desensitizing cream which let it absorbs for about 10 minutes prior to injecting. This as a result will many patients find helpful and reassuring.
The lips are a super vascular area and that means that it is brimming with vessels and arteries that don't like to be punctured, so really, it all depends on your personal pain threshold, and if you are on the low tolerance end... maybe you can bring along a stress relief ball to squeeze.
How long will lip filler last?
There is a bit of range here which depends on the type of fillers and the patient lifestyle. Most doctors estimate a lifespan of six to twelve months. Filler metabolizes faster in patients who are young, physically active or enjoy a high metabolism rate. Also, a factor is the volume of filler injected i.e., minimal amounts would not last as long. This is one of those things where your mileage does vary. Some may need to get their fillers topped off after six months, and others may be fine for longer.
Benefits of Using Acid Fillers
Once injected the gel in the filler supports and shapes the tissues of the lips.
The numerous benefits of using acid fillers include:
- Control over lip volume. The amount of substance injected can be controlled. This helps the doctor to better control over how much lip volume is created.
2. A steady pace of treatment. The injections can be given gradually during different appointments till the desired results are achieved.
3. Bumps dissolve easily. Any lumps and bumps created by the movement of the lips can be dissolved.
4. Less damage. There may be less damage and swelling compared to other skin fillers.
5. Reasonably lasting results. The results are long-lasting but not permanent.
No Allergic reaction Since acid fillers are made from substances similar to those found in the body, they are not likely to cause any reactions. However, if you are allergic to lidocaine, it is advisable to inform your doctor prior to treatment.
Side Effects and Risks
Side effects of lip fillers are temporary and should only last only for a few days. These may include:
- Bleeding from the injection sites
- Swelling and bruising
- Redness and tenderness at the site of the injection
- Reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters of the lips or area surrounding the lips
Is Lip Augmentation Right for You?
In order to answer this question, you must ask yourself why you want to alter your lips. You should not go through this procedure unless you truly want to modify your appearance.
If you are thinking about lip augmentation to make someone else happy or to try to fit an exemplary image, you would want to think twice.
Also, it is important to have a realistic expectation about the outcome. Enhanced lips may make your lips plumper and fuller, but you will still be who you are once you walk out of the doctor's office.
