While lip filler injections can be a beneficial tool to add or
restore volume, improve facial symmetry, and enhance the size and shape of the
lips, their pervasiveness is a sensitive topic. From the rise of overfilled
pouts to the danger of botched jobs, there’s plenty of reason to exercise
caution and have reservations around lip augmentation—especially in the age of
social media, where unrealistic aesthetic standards are abound
a. Lip Fillers
Are An Injectable Treatment
Lip fillers are a gel-like
substance that’s injected to add volume to the lips, correct asymmetries,
and/or create a desired shape or fullness. They work by binding water molecules
within the lips to create a plumper look. Many of my patients are looking to
plump naturally thin, flat lips or want to add volume to lips that have lost
definition with age. The most common type of filler is a hyaluronic acid-based
filler, such as Juvéderm or Restylane
b. Not All Lip
Fillers Are the Same
Lip fillers, or fillers in
general, are like different paint brushes. They all come in different weights
and are structurally different. For example, Juvéderm tends to diffuse a little
bit more, while Restylane can hold its shape. How does that impact the length
of time that lip fillers last? It depends on how much is injected and how the
person is trying to achieve a fuller loo.
If your goal is to achieve a natural looking, but still fuller lip, then
less is more, but injecting more regularly over time will help you achieve that
look. Overall, you can expect lip filler to last, on average, anywhere from
6-18 months, with results differing depending on the type of filler used, how
much is injected, and a patient's individual metabolism.
c. Lip Filler Is
a Non-Invasive Procedure, But There’s Moderate Swelling
An average lip filler treatment will proceed something like this: First, the injector will apply an anesthetic in the form of a topical cream on your lips so they’re numb during the procedure. Once the lips are numb, the actual injecting, which consists of the provider using a small, thin needle to inject the filler into various parts of the lips, usually lasts about 5-10 minutes. The needle usually goes about 2.5 mm into the skin, which can cause some irritation, a pinching sensation, or your eyes to water. In the days following the injections, your lips can become swollen, painful or bruised. Depending on the person, these side effects can subside within 24-72 hours or take up to a week to lessen after the procedure. To help your lips heal, it’s important to apply cold compresses to your lips to reduce inflammation.
