Dermal fillers are used to improve the fullness and balance of lips. Hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body, is typically the preferred option. You'll usually need follow-up injections in the future to maintain the same appearance, as the results are only temporary. How often you need them depends on your preferences and how your body responds to the substance.
How Are Lip Fillers Used to Enhance the Lip Area?
Dermal fillers are strategically injected to plump the lips, improve definition, make them more symmetrical, and decrease creases, lines, and wrinkles, especially along the borders of the lips. The results are meant to look natural, not dramatic.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip fillers add volume under the skin, both under your lips and along their borders. Hyaluronic acid (HA), which attracts and holds water, works by filling in lines and adding plumpness, creating a fuller, smoother appearance. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used to smooth nasolabial folds, which are also known as smile lines and run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
What Are Some of the Commonly Used Brands of Dermal / Lip Fillers, and How Are They Different?
Juvéderm and Restylane, both hyaluronic acid injections, are two of the most popular lip filler options. They help enhance the lips themselves as well as improve the appearance of the skin surrounding them.
What Is the Lip Filler Injections Process Like?
The doctor will prep your lips and the surrounding area. After numbing the area, he'll make strategic injections at specific points, helping to improve the look of your lips immediately. We'll provide post-injection care instructions before you leave. You'll enjoy noticeable but natural results with minimal downtime.
