Beauty without Surgical Intervention: Lip Filling

In recent years, non-surgical aesthetic procedures like with lip fillers have become quite very popular. We observe the positive effects of successful lip filling treatment performed by an experienced plastic surgeon on the person’s self-confidence and facial harmony.

What is Lip Filling Treatment?

Lip filling is a procedure in which a special substance, e.g. lip filler, is injected into the lips to increase their volume, correct their shape or eliminate asymmetries. The most commonly used filler for this purpose is hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in our body and maintains the moisture and volume of the skin.

What does Lip Filling Treatment Offer?

Lip filling not only changes the external appearance of a person, but also increases a person’s self-confidence. While it gives a fuller and younger look to people with naturally thin lips or whose lip volume decreases with age, it can also balance asymmetrical lips or highlight the natural curves of the lips. One of the best appealing aspects of the application is that it offers personalized results. The amount of filler used can be adjusted depending on the look you want. Some may prefer a light touch, while others may want a pronounced change. Additionally, the temporary nature of hyaluronic acid-based fillers provides the flexibility to change your appearance over time or stop the application if needed. This property makes lip fillers as an attractive option for many patients.

Lip Filling Application Process

Applying lip fillers is a process that requires careful planning and precise execution. The first step is a detailed preliminary consultation. During this phase, we discuss your expectations, assess your facial structure, and determine the approach that is most suitable for you. The application area is then carefully cleaned and a local anesthetic cream may be applied for your comfort. During the injection phase, the filler is carefully injected into the designated areas of the lips using a thin needle. This creates a natural and balanced appearance with great precision. The application area is gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler. Finally, the results are evaluated together and fine-tuned if necessary. This entire process is usually completed within 5-10 minutes and you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment. This process is designed to provide an experience that is both effective and comfortable.

What to Expect After the Application?

After the procedure, you may experience swelling, redness and sometimes small bruising. These effects usually disappear within a few days. Results may be visible after a short period of time, but the final appearance is achieved after the swelling has completely subsided, usually within 1-2 weeks.

The effects of HA fillers usually last 6-12 months, depending on the product used, the amount injected and the person’s metabolism.

Potential Negative Aspects of Lip Fillers

The most common side effects include swelling, bruising and a slight feeling of discomfort. These discomforts usually disappear on their own within a few days. However, less common complications include infection, allergic reactions, asymmetry and scarring.

So, What can be Done to Minimize these Risks?

• Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon: The expertise and experience of the doctor performing the procedure are very crucial for a successful outcome.
• Performing a detailed consultation: Discussing all your expectations and health conditions in detail with your doctor before the procedure will help you minimize possible risks.
• Using high quality filler material: The quality of the filler used and its FDA approval ensure safer results in the long term.
