11 Answers to the Most Faq About Injectable Lip Augmentation
FILLERS RESTON
Thinking about enhancing or rejuvenating your look with lip fillers? Before you undergo treatment, here are 11 things you need to know about injectable lip augmentation.
1) WHICH FILLER IS RIGHT FOR ME?
When it comes to injectable lip augmentation, a hyaluronic acid filler, like Restylane or Juvederm, is the way to go. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule thats naturally produced by the body and found in skin and joints.
It can also hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent plumping and hydrating agent for lips.
2) HOW CAN I FIND A QUALIFIED INJECTOR?
Seeking a qualified and skilled injector is one of the most important aspects of lip injections. The provider you select should be a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with extensive experience performing injectable treatments.
3) DOES INJECTABLE LIP AUGMENTATION REQUIRE ANESTHESIA?
Prior to lip injections, lips can be numbed with a topical anesthetic or a local anesthetic. Numbing effects typically wear off after 30 minutes.
4) HOW MUCH PLUMPING CAN OCCUR IN ONE TREATMENT?
Lip plumping is a customized process. Depending on whether you want subtle enhancement or significant volume added, your injector will create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and goals.
With that being said, most injectors gradually augment lips over several sessions to maintain a natural look.
5) DOES INJECTABLE LIP AUGMENTATION HURT?
Following a topical or local anesthetic, most patients report feeling some pressure and a slight pricking sensation. The treatment takes just 15 minutes and is extremely comfortable overall.
6) IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER LIP INJECTIONS?
After injectable lip augmentation, patients are free to return to work and resume all normal activities.
7) CAN I EXERCISE AFTER FILLERS?
Its recommended that individuals forgo exercise or anything that would increase blood flow to the face for 24 hours.
8) HOW QUICKLY CAN I SEE RESULTS AFTER LIP FILLERS?
One of the key advantages of lip injections is that they provide instant volumizing effects. However, it can take several days for residual swelling to subside and reveal final results.
9) ARE LIP FILLER RESULTS PERMANENT?
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers offer temporary enhancement and will gradually be metabolized by the body in the coming months.
10) CAN FILLER BE REMOVED?
Yes. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that can dissolve hyaluronic acid gel in the event that you wish to remove the filler completely or want to eliminate some excess product.
11) HOW LONG DO RESULTS FROM LIP INJECTIONS LAST?
Typically results from injectable lip augmentation last 6-9 months.
