Dermal fillers come in different types and are perfect for plumping up hollow areas or lips if you want a fuller pout. However, the fillers aren’t only for those who wish to make a drastic difference to their appearance. During our consultation with you, we’ll discuss your goals and the final look you’re aiming for.

 

Here’s what you can expect if you want to enhance your lips with a dermal filler:

 

What Different Types of Dermal Filler for Lips Are Available?

We recommend a hyaluronic dermal filler for plumper lips. The hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Volbella work much better on plumping the lips than those more aimed at filling up hollows in the face. Radiesse is perfect for mild scars or hollow areas you want to appear plumper and fuller. At the same time, you can also choose from poly-L-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate beads and calcium hydroxylapatite. Don’t worry! Regardless of whether you need dermal fillers for acne scars or another part of your body, we will advise you which filler would be best for your needs.

 

A collagen-based dermal filler is also an option but is more for use on deep-seated scars caused by acne or cuts as they refine the appearance by lifting the indented, depressed facial skin.

 

What Benefits Can You Expect?

1. Any cosmetic procedure is just there to enhance your natural beauty or give a bit more collagen to areas on your face where production may have slowed down as you age.

 

2. When it comes to your lips, you may have very thin lips that you want to stand out more as a prominent feature to feel more confident when you put on your red lipstick for a night out.

 

3. Many people are shy and embarrassed about their smile lines for various reasons. Using a dermal filler for your lips can make an overly gummy smile or a side smile appear more natural and symmetrical.

 

4. While you benefit from fuller lips, you will also see differences in fine lines or smokers’ lines around your mouth.

 

5. You’ll see the results instantly as the swelling subsides with the final, lasting results at their best after four weeks of getting the dermal filler.

 

6. You are in control of your appearance. We always advise clients to start with a lower dose of dermal filler for their lips to ensure a more natural look. You can always come back after a few weeks for another session if you feel your lips are not yet the size you want them to be.

 

How Long Does a Dermal Filler in Lips Last?

Depending on how quickly your body metabolizes it, dermal filler in lips and undereye dermal fillers can last from six to 18 months. Your appointment will be about 20 minutes, depending on how many fills you want.

 

The best part of a dermal filler in lips is that the downtime is minimal compared to surgery, and you can take care of the swelling and bruising at home with anti-inflammatories and an ice pack. Professionals at our center will do a stellar job in preparing, informing and giving aftercare instructions, and your discomfort will be minimal.
