Lip augmentation with fillers

About

Lip augmentation with fillers is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers into the lips to increase their fullness, shape, or symmetry. These fillers typically contain substances such as hyaluronic acid or collagen and help create a fuller appearance of the lips.

Candidate

Individuals who want to enhance the fullness, definition, or symmetry of their lips may be candidates for lip augmentation with fillers.

Preparation

Prior to the treatment, a consultation will be conducted by the doctor to understand the patient's desired goals and discuss expectations and potential risks. Some doctors may also recommend stopping certain medications or supplements that could increase the risk of bruising.

Treatment

The procedure involves injecting the chosen filler into the lips using a fine needle or cannula. The doctor carefully shapes the filler to achieve the desired lip shape and volume.

Result

After the treatment, the patient may notice increased fullness and definition of the lips. Results are typically visible immediately after the procedure but may further improve over the next few days.

Precautions

It is important to choose a licensed and experienced medical professional for this procedure to reduce the risk of complications. Patients should be aware of possible side effects such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. It is also important to discuss expectations and maintenance options with the doctor during the consultation.
