Plumping your lips is a popular treatment chosen for youthful and fuller lips. People are often unhappy when they have thin lips, so they choose to fill their lips with lip filler for a fuller and more defined look.
Lip filling is a treatment where fillers are injected into the lips for more volume and shape. The goal is fuller lips that still look natural and are in balance with the rest of the face. Hyaluronic acid is most commonly used for these filler treatments. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, it attracts water, which provides a fuller look.
Do you think you have narrow lips? Before undergoing treatment, a consultation with a cosmetic doctor is wise. During this consultation, you can discuss your wishes and expectations of lip filling. The doctor examines your lips and face to see how much volume is needed for a natural result. If you are going for a treatment, prepare yourself properly, do not drink alcohol and do not use medicines that thin your blood, such as ibuprofen. These can cause bruising and swelling.
Immediately after the treatment, your lips will be swollen and bruises may occur. This is completely normal and usually goes away within a few days. You can reduce bruising and swelling by cooling your lips properly. Do not drink hot drinks after treatment and make sure you are not exposed to heat, as this can make the swelling worse.
After about two weeks, the final result of the treatment with lip fillers is fully visible. The swelling will decrease over time and the hyaluronic acid settles in the lips, creating a natural shape and fullness. You want full lips that are in harmony with your face. Most people are very satisfied with the natural look you can achieve with hyaluronic acid fillers.
The results of a lip filler treatment are not permanent. The body slowly breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. The results are usually visible for six to twelve months. That's why you may need a touch-up after this period to maintain volume. A regular touch-up appointment helps you keep the desired result.
While lip fillers are generally safe, there are also a few possible side effects and risks to consider:
The costs of a lip filler treatment vary depending on the clinic you choose, the cosmetic doctor's experience and how much filler is used. The costs are often around €695 per treatment. When choosing a clinic, look not only at the price, but also at the experience and qualifications of the doctor. A well-performed treatment by an experienced doctor is worth the investment for a natural and safe result.
A lip filler treatment usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the amount of filler used and the desired results.
Thanks to the anesthetic cream or ointment that is applied before the injections, the treatment is almost painless. You may feel a slight pressure or a small sting during the injections.
The most common side effects include swelling, bruising, and asymmetry. These side effects usually go away within a few days to weeks. In rare cases, complications such as allergic reactions or an infection may occur.
The costs vary, but they are around €695 treatment, depending on the clinic and the amount of filler required. Of course, you not only pay for the product, but also for the doctor's experience and a guaranteed natural result.
This is possible, but it is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activities and exposure to heat to prevent swelling. Also, do not massage your lips after a treatment.
