LIPS FILLER

LIPS FILLER

Why use lip fillers?

Ageing naturally causes your lips to become thinner and lose definition. Where you’re likely to notice it most is around ‘Cupid’s Bow’ – the V-shaped area of your upper lip. You may have used make-up to disguise things, but it can bleed down the vertical wrinkles and actually highlight the problem.

How does it work?

The lip filler used is specifically designed to restore natural fullness and create beautifully shaped lips.

Things u should know before getting lips injections.
 1. Like an artist with paint, every doctor has a favorite formula they like to use.

 2. You can completely erase HA fillers if you don't like how your lips turn out for whatever reason. Because HA is not permanent, your dermatologist can inject an eraser enzyme called hyaluronidase. The enzyme will dissolve the filler in five minutes if you're unhappy with the initial results.

 3. HA fillers last about four to six months. But if your body is on the thinner side, you'll metabolize the formula faster and the injections won't last as long.

4. You will see the results almost immediately. Your lips will be a little swollen at first, but you'll see the effects of the fillers pretty quickly. Give your lips 24 hours to settle and the swelling to calm. Then you'll be seeing your filled-out lips as they will be for the next few months.

5. If done correctly, lips with injections don't feel any different than real lips. Not even when you're kissing.

6. At the beginning of the procedure, it feels like a pinch and then it stings as the filler is being injected. Afterward, the doctor will massage your lips a little, ice them for 10 minutes, and then let you go about your day.

7. You can choose to have your lips numbed beforehand with a dental nerve block or a topical anesthetic. The doctor can numb the area around your lips with an injection into your gums (just like a dentist would before a dental procedure), or you can opt for a numbing cream.

8. There's practically zero downtime. The procedure takes about 15 to 20 minutes total, and the numbing will start to wear off after about 15 minutes. You can go about your daily life afterward but shouldn't make any big plans (like a wedding or an important event) for at least three days in case you bruise.

9. You shouldn't exercise the day of the procedure. You especially should avoid activities that increase blood flow to your face, like getting a massage or a facial.

10. You don't have to go all out. You can choose which areas of your lips you'd like the focus to be. Whether you want to do both lips, just the bottom lip, or the middle of the top lip, you can plump wherever you and your doctor decide will best complement the rest of your facial features.

11. To get your lips injected, you should only see a professional, such as a dermatologist, plastic surgeon . To avoid a botched job, you'll want to go to an expert who is highly experienced in this specific procedure.

12. Ten days prior to your procedure, avoid painkillers, fish oil, and Vitamin E, which tend to thin the blood. Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding.

13. Some slight bruising and bleeding at the site of injection is normal and expected. The bruises should fade after five to seven days. Your doctor could also use a laser to dissolve a blood clot if necessary.

14. Don't expect to get Angelina Jolie's lips. You can bring in inspiration photos, but ultimately, you and your doctor should decide what look is best for your face. You should also expect to increase the size gradually over time — not all at once — for the most natural results

15. The bumps and lumps in the lips you see sometimes are the result of the filler being too close to the surface. It usually goes away and can be corrected, but it ain't cute.

16. Anyone who has a history of cold sores should take prevention medication two days before the procedure. Injections could trigger a cold sore.

17. If you eventually decide to stop getting injections, your lips will return to their original state. Contrary to what you might think, your lips will not turn into saggy, wrinkly skin bags. However, the HA that was injected into your lips has been proven to jump-start more HA production at the site of the injection, so your lips could naturally remain a bit larger, thanks to the previous injections.
