One of the most highly sought after cosmetic surgeries available today is lip enhancement. Having thicker, fuller lips has now become a part of contemporary fashion, and more and more women are now enjoying the benefits that lip enhancement brings. Patients that have had problems with persistent infections of their lips, or other lip problems arising from issues like diabetes also benefit from lip fillers.

Specifically, what is the process of lip enhancement like?

Lip fillers are utilized to plump lips up and shape them as the patient desires. Here we will be discussing a bit about the process of getting lip fillers, and responding to some of the questions frequently asked about how the procedure works.

What sort of lip fillers are used these days?

Most often, hyaluronic acid is the filler of choice. This is actually a natural part of the human body's composition, although it is available on the commercial market. This material will stay where it is injected and fill the empty space, causing the lasting effect of fullness.

A process less frequently used nowadays is to have a patient's lips injected with their own body fat. Restylane and Perlane are acid products that are used most often for fillers.

How do lip fillers help enhance the lips?

By strategically injecting lip fillers at different parts of the lips, it is possible to enhance the shape, increase the size and increase the volume of lips. This can significantly improve the cosmetic appearance of the lips and can also improve the confidence of the patient.

How does the actual procedure work?

The patient seldom needs to be admitted, as this process can be completed as an outpatient procedure. A small dose of a local anaesthetic agent may be injected into the lips to numb them. The target areas then have hyaluronic acid injected using a fine needle, which enhances the lip's size and shape. Once the required fullness is achieved, ice may be applied to the lips to help ease any pain or discomfort that the patient is feeling. It is well known that lips heal very fast, so the enhancement is noticeable practically instantly.

What are the benefits of lip fillers?

Many patients show higher levels of confidence after the procedure. The process of using hyaluronic acid makes it so the doctor is able to shape the lips into what the patient has envisioned. The filler usually evens out within the lips and gives it a smooth contour. There is very minimal bruising and allergic reactions are rare.

Are there any side effects?

These are very rare but worth being aware of. Slight bruising and redness, and some minor swelling are the most often reported side effects. Any side effects disappear swiftly. In very rare cases, the swelling can last a bit longer and the lips can be a bit painful. If a patient does have an allergic reaction, swift treatment is immediately delivered.

Will the effects last a long time?

6 months is around how long the lip filler will last before the effects begin to diminish. Follow up treatments can be scheduled if a patient requires them.

Conclusion

Lip fillers are a safe and effective way of enhancing one's lips and cosmetic appearance. There are almost no side effects, and the technique is quick and uncomplicated. To see how this simple procedure could be the correct one for you, talk to your local medical aesthetician as soon as possible.
