But being at the top of your game doesn't mean having over-inflated lips. An experienced plastic surgeon can help you get more voluptuous lips or accent your upper lip's “cupid's bow” without giving you duck lips.
But if you find that you're not happy with the results of lip augmentation, there is a solution. To reverse lip augmentation results, your provider can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase into your lips, which will dissolve the filler.
Light, soft, hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane®, give the lips the most natural and attractive look.
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, naturally occurs in the body and not only attracts moisture (and volume) to the lips but also stimulates the lips' own ability to produce more collagen. This means you get immediate, natural-looking results and you also see a gradual improvement in your lip area as collagen increases. Dr.
Filler can be injected into particular areas of the lips, in a way to enhance or increase the volume of their lips subtly. Creating a natural lip takes medical expertise and super-honed skills, as well as using the correct thickness (viscosity) of dermal filler.
When the upper lip is equal to or begins to exceed the volume of the lower, the augmentation starts to look fake. Once that ratio is breached, the result degrades rapidly, even with minor volume additions.
Lip lifts and lip flips are just two of the alternative procedures for lips, and both are becoming more popular as filler mania ebbs and flows with the current plastic surgery trends.
So to conclude, when done by an expert and a certified doctor, lip injections would hardly disappoint or ruin your lips.
Unless you go to extremes with lip fillers or choose a very unskilled injector, your lips won't be permanently stretched. This means that if you choose to stop having lip filling injections, your lips will likely return to their normal proportions.
A Cosmetic Injector's Answer:
Over the next six to eight months after your lip filler is injected, your lips will slowly decrease in size and fade back to their original shape. The filler will metabolize fairly evenly, so you should never experience a malformed appearance.
Yes, you can achieve natural results with hyaluronic acid fillers for lip augmentation. One syringe of filler split between your upper and lower lips should give you a subtle natural look that typically lasts 3-6 months.
Lip implants
One alternative to temporary lip fillers for lip augmentation is to use implants, which is a more permanent option. During your lip consultation, your doctor will determine what size lip implant would be best. The Permalip implant insertion is an in-office procedure.
Dermal fillers are instant, so you can see a visible result immediately after injection. It takes up to 4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue and some fillers are more cohesive than others.
The good news is that the swelling in your photos appears to be a normal side effect of lip fillers and should gradually diminish on its own over the next two weeks.
Will my lips look saggy or stretched out after injections wear off? Nope! You don't need to worry about dealing with a “deflated” look as the hyaluronic acid fades. The skin on your mouth and lips will return to their normal appearance without any sagging or stretching.
You can get repeat treatments every six months. Scientists have found that hyaluronic acid injections prompt the skin to produce more collagen, creating more natural plumpness in the lips.
Once the swelling has resolved, lips after filler injections generally don't feel any different than they did before, not even when you're kissing. Lips are still soft and natural. The person you are kissing won't know the difference either.
Kissing can apply a lot of pressure to the lips and increase risk of infection (there is a lot of bacteria in the mouth!), so it is best to avoid kissing for 48–72 hours after getting lip filler treatment. Your lips will probably be a bit tender and swollen, so kissing might not be that appealing anyway!
Classic shape: One of the most popular options for lip fillers shape is the traditional shape. It has a rounded outer corner but with a pointier tip. It is ideal for those who want a natural look without generally taking care of their lips.
0.5ml is a great introductory filler amount for first-time lip filler clients, especially if you're nervous of what the result will be. Remember you will swell after treatment a little, so you will not see major change with 0.5ml after the treatment has settled over the first 2-4 weeks.
Done well, dermal filler can be absolutely amazing. It can make you look less tired, less sad, less saggy and more attractive. It can reshape your lips and restore hollows under your eyes. But some practitioners don't – or can't – keep their patients looking natural.
