Lip Fillers
Lip augmentation, lip enhancement, and lip filler are all terms used to describe a medical cosmetic procedure to give you fuller, plumper lips. There are many types of lip fillers available to inject into the lips. The most common, and safest, are hyaluronic acid fillers.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring precursor to collagen found in our bodies that can be injected into the lips to add shape, volume and better definition. Depending on the specific lip filler used, the effects typically last 6 – 9 months. Someone with very thin lips may require two or more sessions to achieve desired results and fullness safely.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Since hyaluronic acid fillers are made from a natural substance, the lip filler can be dissolved if a patient has a change of heart, experiences lumps or bumps, or in the event of vascular occlusion, an unusual but urgent situation where the filler has blocked a blood vessel.
The hyaluronic acid gel is able to support and integrate into the tissue of the lips giving a natural shape and subtle volume. The lip filler can be injected in stages until desired results are achieved.
The two main benefits of hyaluronic acid lip fillers are their ability to achieve results that are natural and last several months and their low risk of an allergic reaction (since the product is similar to substances found in the body).
Lip Injection Techniques
At Y-LAB, our highly experienced practitioner use various techniques to achieve natural-looking lip enhancements, depending on a patient’s lip anatomy and desired results. The practitioner will customize a plan after assessment and medical clearance have been obtained. One of the most popular techniques used in lip enhancement is the “Julie Horne technique”. This technique of creating vertical columns (also known as tenting or fencing) in the superficial layer of the lip tissue can create lift and crisp definition of the lip border. Linear threads may be used to add volume, help with asymmetries, or correct an “M-shaped” lip. We take before-and-after lip photos so that patients can really appreciate their results.
Frequently asked questions
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Lip fillers usually last around 6-12 months. How long fillers last depends on different things, such as the composition of the filler, where it is injected, and how quickly your body breaks it down and absorbs it. If you want to maintain the results, it is recommended to come in for an injection touch-up every six months, as per your injector’s advice.
Can Lip Fillers Migrate?
Fillers can migrate. Injectors who don’t have a good understanding of how fillers work and how they should be injected are more likely to inject the fillers at the wrong depth or choose the wrong product, increasing the risk of migration. Always go to trusted, licensed, and experienced injectors who use well-known brands of dermal fillers.
How Long After Filler Can You Have a Facial?
Not too soon, please. It’s best to wait two to four weeks after your filler injection to have a facial. This allows the filler to settle and give your skin time to heal.
Can Dermal Fillers Cause Cancer?
No! Rest assured, no filler can cause something as severe as cancer.
Can I Exercise After Fillers?
Not too soon, please. Moving fast, being in a room full of sweaty people, or just doing any strenuous exercise may add a risk of infection. Wait for a week to be on the safe side. Don’t worry, your body cannot change too much in a week, nor will you lose strength so quickly. Walking is always fine.
Can You Get Dermal Fillers While Breastfeeding? And What About Getting Dermal Fillers While Pregnant?
This is not recommended. It's not because the fillers will necessarily harm your baby, but because we don’t know whether they will. Better be safe than sorry!
Dermal fillers have not been tested for safety in pregnant and breastfeeding women, so we don’t know if there is any effect on unborn and breastfeeding babies. We also don’t know how the mother’s body will accept this volume placement when her body is on high alert and focused on building life. So, if any of these two situations applies to you, let your injector know so you can work out a different treatment for your wrinkles and folds.
Can Fillers Go Wrong?
Plain and simple, yes, they can. But the full answer is not plain and simple. Complications with fillers are more likely to occur in two major cases: when you have certain preconditions that you didn’t warn your injector about, or when you go to an injector who is not certified and experienced. People are enticed by low prices and want to pay less – but there is a reason why some procedures are costly in reputable clinics such as ours. Please don’t compromise your beauty and, more importantly, your health, by opting to save money.
Can You Feel Fillers in Your Lips?
No. Or, more accurately, you shouldn’t. Once the pain and bruising from the injection subside, you shouldn’t be able to feel anything except your natural, smooth lips. If you do feel the filler, or if it appears lumpy, it may be because an inexperienced injector has injected the filler too close to the surface of the lips. It may also be the result of filler not properly integrating into the tissue. Going to a reputable, experienced injector and avoiding filler injection when you are sick decreases the likelihood of this happening.
Can You Eat After Lip Fillers?
Yes! You can eat immediately after lip injections. The real issue here is whether you can eat really hot or cold food. Your lips will likely still be numb from the numbing cream, so avoid foods that are too hot or too cold because they may hurt your lips without you even feeling it. The day after getting lip fillers, you can eat anything.
