Lip Fillers
Lip filler is a dermal filler procedure performed to achieve fuller, more symmetrical, and youthful-looking lips. It commonly involves the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides moisture and volume to the skin. The filler procedure is carried out using fine needles or cannulas.
Why Are Lip Fillers Used?
After the area is numbed with a local anesthetic cream, the procedure takes about 15–30 minutes. Although it varies from person to person, hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6–12 months in the lips. Swelling and edema may occur after the procedure but generally subside within 2–3 days.
The ideal lip filler aims to achieve a natural, more youthful appearance that suits the individual’s facial features. It is important to avoid excessive filler application and an overly exaggerated look.
