Lip fillers are an aesthetic procedure performed to give thin, shapeless, or asymmetric lips a fuller and more symmetrical appearance. Additionally, they are frequently preferred to reshape lips that have lost volume and become wrinkled due to aging.
With lip fillers, the lip line becomes more defined, and the lips gain a more vibrant and natural appearance.
Lip filler can be applied using fine needles or cannula techniques. The filler material is typically hyaluronic acid-based and is injected into the lip line and surrounding areas to add volume. During the procedure, a local anesthetic cream or injection of anesthetic medication is used to minimize pain. Typically, 0.5-1 cc of filler is used in a single session. However, since each patient’s needs are different, the amount of filler is determined on an individual basis.
Lip filler is generally a procedure with minimal pain. After applying a local anesthetic cream, the needle insertions are painless. During the filler application, there may be a slight stinging or pressure sensation, but this is usually short-lived and tolerable.
After lip filler treatment, swelling, bruising, or sensitivity may occur on the lips. This usually subsides on its own within 2-3 days. Arnica cream can be used to reduce swelling and bruising, and applying a cold compress is also beneficial. It is recommended to avoid extremely hot or cold foods for the first 24 hours. Additionally, the lips should not be massaged or made up within the first 24 hours.
Lip fillers generally last between 6-12 months. However, the duration of the filler’s effect can vary depending on the individual’s metabolism, age, skin type, and the type of filler used. Over time, hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body, causing the lips to return to their natural state.
Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are compatible with the skin’s natural structure and are safely absorbed by the body. They do not cause any allergic reactions or permanent damage. Fillers are safely applied to achieve aesthetic results. Rarely, side effects such as temporary bruising or swelling may occur, but these effects typically disappear within a short time.
Lip fillers can be applied to anyone who is dissatisfied with thin lips, wants to define their lip line, has experienced volume loss in the lips due to aging, or desires natural-looking full lips. However, before the procedure, any active infections, sores, or conditions such as herpes (cold sores) on the lips should be treated. Additionally, individuals with serious skin diseases or immune system issues must be evaluated before the procedure.
