Lip filler injection is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to grant you fuller, plumper lips. One of the most widely employed techniques for lip augmentation involves the use of dermal fillers. These remarkable fillers work to enhance your lips by adding volume and reshaping their structure and appearance. Various types of dermal fillers can be skillfully injected into your lips and the surrounding areas to achieve your desired outcome.
What to Anticipate During the Procedure
Under the skilled care of Dr. Yuan, a specialist in lip injections, you can expect a seamless lip augmentation process. This treatment can be conveniently performed in our office on the same day as your complimentary consultation, with minimal to no downtime involved. Typically, the effects of lip injections persist for approximately six months. To maintain the volume of your lips, subsequent injections may be necessary.
Is It Painful for the Injection
Before the procedure, a topical or local numbing agent may be administered to alleviate any discomfort, or nerve block injections can be provided to ensure complete numbness of the lips. For people who are anxious about the procedure, you can ask our doctor to give you local injection.
How Much Filler Do I Need
You’ll notice a noticeable difference immediately following a single syringe injection. As you heal, your lips should feel completely natural.
The volume of filler injected can be precisely controlled, enabling you to collaborate with Dr. Yuan to determine the desired lip volume and shape that suits you best. These injections can also be administered incrementally during multiple appointments until the desired results are achieved. In some cases, more than one syringe may be required to attain your ideal outcome.
Potential Side Effects and Risks
Lip filler injection, like any cosmetic procedure, may entail temporary side effects that usually subside within a few days. These can encompass:
- Swelling and bruising
- Redness and tenderness at the injection site
- Reactivation of cold sores on the lips or in the surrounding area
- Lip asymmetry, where different parts of the lips exhibit varying sizes
- Lumps and irregularities in the lips
- Ulceration, scarring, or stiffness of the lip
- Allergic reactions resulting in redness, swelling, or itching around the lips
Is Lip Augmentation the Right Choice for You?
To be eligible for lip augmentation, it is essential to be in good health. However, you may not be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you have:
- An active infection, such as oral herpes
- Diabetes
- Lupus
- Blood-clotting problems
