What is a lip injection?
Lip injection involves injecting a skin filler (or in rare cases, fat) to the lips to add volume, improve shape and straighten the fine lines around the mouth. The most common fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural material in the body that attracts moisture and increases complete increase.
Lip fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers (HA) (the most popular)
Example: Juvederm Ultra XC, Restylane Kysse, Belotero Balance
Benefits:
The natural results appear to be
Reversible (can be dissolved by hyaluronidase)
Gradual absorption (it takes 6 to 12 months)
Collagen -based fillers (less common today)
It is used in the past, but due to better safety and longevity, it has been largely replaced by HA fillers.
Fat transfer (Autologic Fat Transplant)
Fat is taken from another body (for example, abdomen) and injected into the lips.
Longer shelf life but less predictable than HA fillers.
Semi -permanent fillers (eg, pmma, silicon)
Rarely is used because of the risks of more complications.
For most patients, hyaluronic acid fillers are the safest and most effective choice.
The benefits of lip injection
1. Increased volume and full lips
The main reason for getting lip fillers is to add volume, especially for those with natural lips or thinning.
2. The shape and symmetry of the improved lip
Fillers can correct:
Rough lips
Non -definition in the bowl’s bow
Stagnant corners
3. Lines and softer wrinkles
As the age increases, the “smoking lines” appear vertically (even in non -smokers). Fillers can make these wrinkles smooth and smooth.
4. Natural results appear (when done correctly)
Skilled injectors use a “less” approach to prevent the “filled” appearance.
5. Minimum failure
Unlike surgery, lip injection requires little recovery time.
6. Reversible effects
If you are unhappy with the HA filler, they can be solved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Lip Injection Method: Step by step
Consultation
A qualified physician:
Evaluate the shape of the lip and the structure of your face
Discuss your desired look (eg, “Russian lips”, “complete naturalness”)
Recommend the best type and amount of fillers
A topical anesthetic cream (20-30 minutes ago) is applied.
Some fillers (such as the Juvederm Ultra XC) contain lidocaine for more comfort.
Injection Process (10-20 minutes)
The filler is strategically used by using a needle or a small cannol:
Vermilion boundary (to define)
Lip body (for volume)
The corners of the mouth (to lift)
Post -treatment care
Inflation and bruising are common for 24-48 hours.
Avoid hot drinks, kissing or exercising for 24 hours.
Use ice packs to reduce swelling.
How long does lip fillers take?
Filling time
Hyaluronic acid (HA) 6-12 months
Collagen 3-4 months
The years of fat transfer (but unpredictable)
Factors Affecting Longevity:
Metabolism (faster breakdown in active individuals)
Exposure to sunshine and smoking
The type of filler used
Most people are touched every 9 to 12 months.
Potential risks and side effects
While it is generally safe, possible complications include:
Swelling and bruising (shared, resolved within a few days)
Masses or asymmetry (often can be massaged)
Vascular obstruction (rare but serious – bird blocks blood flow)
Allergic reaction (very rare with HA filler)
