How Are Lip Fillers Done?

Non-surgical lip augmentation has become one of the most popular aesthetic applications all over the world in a short time, as it is a very practical and effective procedure. Many people who are unhappy with their thin and small lips achieve the lips they dream of with lip fillers. Hyaluronic-based lip fillers make the lips look more moist and healthy while plumping and defining them.

Why Do You Need to Get Lip Fillers?

Lips, along with the nose, are the parts that emphasize the general lines and shape of our face the most. Everyone wants to have full, prominent, symmetrical, and lively-looking lips that suit their face. Lip fillers are ideal for people with congenitally very thin and small lips, as well as for those whose fine lines and wrinkles increase as they age.

How Permanent Are Lip Fillers?

Non-surgical lip augmentation procedures are divided into two groups as permanent and temporary. However, permanent lip fillers carry the risk of not being able to adapt to the body and causing an allergic reaction. For this reason, hyaluronic acid-based temporary lip fillers are more preferred.

Hyaluronic acid is an innate substance in the human body. Hyaluronic acid, which moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin, is an excellent filler that is frequently used in medical aesthetic applications as it does not carry any risk of allergy.

Lip fillers containing hyaluronic acid have an average permanence of 6-12 months. Factors such as the quality of the materials used, the doctor performing the procedure, and the skin type of the patient affect the duration of the procedure. A standard hyaluronic acid-based lip filler promises to last at least 5-6 months. After this period, you can renew your filling if you wish. You can renew the lip filler once or twice a year.

How Is the Procedure Done?

The non-surgical lip augmentation procedure is a 10-minute, short and practical procedure. Before proceeding to the injection part, the points to be applied are locally anesthetized with anesthetic creams. Then, injections containing purified hyaluronic acid are injected into pre-planned points. Although the procedure seems very simple, lip fillings that are not performed by a specialist doctor who knows anatomy can have very bad results. For this reason, keep in mind that you must have your lip augmentation done by a specialist and certified doctor in a sterile clinical environment.

Swelling may occur for 1-2 days after lip augmentation. It will be useful to consume plenty of water to minimize the edema. When the edema and swelling subside spontaneously within a few days, the final results of the procedure appear. Activities such as doing exercises within 24 hours after the procedure and having a sauna within 72 hours are prohibited. Apart from these, patients can continue their daily lives from where they left off.
