Do you have thin lips, suffer from asymmetry or want more definition in the lips? If so, you may want to consider treating your lips with filler naturally. Lip fillers are often used to plump up thin lips, correct asymmetry in the lips or create a more defined lip contour. They are a popular choice among people looking for a subtle but effective way to improve their appearance without surgery.
Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid-based and are used to add volume to the lips and improve contour. Hyaluronic acid is a body's own substance that occurs naturally in the skin and helps retain moisture, providing hydration and elasticity. This makes it an ideal filler for cosmetic purposes because the body naturally breaks down this substance and the results of lip fillers are temporary. These results last an average of 9 to 12 months, depending on the individual. This provides flexibility to repeat treatment to maintain desired results.
Lip filler treatment always begins with a consultation in which the attending physician discusses your wishes and expectations. During this conversation, we will look at the shape of your face, your lips and what results you hope to achieve. Based on this, a treatment plan is drawn up.
Before the actual injections are placed, an anesthetic cream is applied to the lips to numb them. While the cream does its job, the doctor provides more information about the procedure and aftercare. Once the lips are numbed, small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected into the lips with a thin needle. The filler is carefully placed to achieve the desired volume and contour. This step usually takes no longer than ten minutes.
After the injections, the doctor massages the lips to distribute the filler evenly. This ensures that the result looks natural and prevents any bumps or unevenness. The doctor will also give detailed instructions for aftercare, such as avoiding intense heat or cold, and avoiding pressure on the lips to prevent complications.
The results of lip fillers last an average of 9 to 12 months, depending on how quickly the body breaks down the hyaluronic acid. This can vary from person to person depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle and the specific filler used. It is often recommended to have a touch-up after 6 to 9 months to maintain volume and prolong results.
Thanks to the anesthetic cream and the anesthetic in the filler itself, the treatment is virtually painless. Any discomfort that occurs during the injections is minimal and short-lived. After treatment, the lips may be temporarily sensitive, but this usually subsides within a few days.
As with any cosmetic treatment, there are some risks associated with lip fillers. The most common side effects are swelling and bruising around the injection sites. These side effects are usually mild and disappear within a few days. In rare cases, complications may occur, such as infections or an allergic reaction to the filler. Therefore, it is essential that the treatment be performed by a qualified and experienced doctor who can minimize these risks.
Absolutely. Most people choose lip fillers at JECT Clinics because they want a natural-looking result. Our doctors strive to achieve a result that fits your face shape and personal preferences. By administering fillers in strategic locations, lips can look full and beautiful without looking unnatural.
After treatment, it is normal to experience some swelling and bruising. These symptoms are usually mild and disappear within 48 hours to a few days. It is important to follow your doctor's aftercare instructions to promote a quick recovery and prevent complications. This includes avoiding extreme temperatures, such as the sauna or tanning bed, and intense exercise in the first few days after treatment. It is also not recommended to apply pressure to the lips or wear lipstick immediately after treatment.
The full effect of the treatment becomes visible once the swelling has completely subsided, which may take several days. During this time, it is important to be patient and give your lips time to recover.
Lip fillers are popular because they offer a versatile solution to a variety of cosmetic problems. In addition to adding volume, they can also help soften fine lines around the mouth, correct asymmetry and improve lip contours. Because hyaluronic acid is a body's own substance, the risk of complications is minimal. Plus, the results are temporary, giving you the flexibility to adjust your look as your preferences change.
Another advantage of lip fillers is that the treatment is quick and easy, with minimal recovery time. This makes it an attractive option for people who want to improve their appearance without going under the knife.
If you are not looking for extra volume, but rather hydration for your lips, the Lip Hydration treatment is an excellent alternative. This treatment also uses hyaluronic acid, but in a more diluted form. The focus here is on improving the hydration and texture of your lips without making them significantly fuller. This can be especially appealing to people who suffer from dry, chapped lips and want to give their lips a soft, healthy glow without being too noticeable.
