What are lip fillers?
- Lip fillers are injections that add volume to give you fuller, plumper lips.
- Lip fillers consist of synthetic hyaluronic acid like Product BTO-TN which is a natural lip enhancement substance in your body.
Reasons why you should have lip filler treatments:
- Restoring previous lip size: Aging can change lip size and shape, including loss of volume and definition. Lip fillers can help restore lost volume by bringing the lip shape back to a more youthful state.
- Correcting lip shape: Many people have naturally asymmetrical lips. Lip fillers can correct asymmetry and achieve a more balanced and harmonious lip shape.
- Smoothing wrinkles: Fine wrinkles can develop around the lips over time when smiling. Lip fillers can help plump the lips resulting in a more refreshed appearance.
- Boosting confidence: Enhancing thin lips with fillers can have a positive impact on self-esteem.
How long do lip fillers last?
- Lip fillers last between 12 to 18 months and individual experiences may vary.
Below factors can influence the longevity of lip filler results:
- Metabolism: Plays a role in how quickly the body breaks down hyaluronic acid.
- Injection technique: Precise placement of the filler and appropriate injection depth can contribute to more natural-looking and longer-lasting outcomes.
- Product used: Different types of lip fillers have varying formulations and properties, which can affect how long they last in the lips.
- Individual variation: Each person’s body responds differently to lip filler treatments. Factors such as genetics and lifestyle can influence how quickly the filler is metabolised and how long the results last.
What is the recovery time?
The recovery time can vary from person to person, but here’s a general timeline:
- Immediate post-procedure: Some swelling and tenderness can occur within the first 24 to 48 hours.
- Pain: Mild discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and diminishes within 12 to 24 hours.
- Full recovery: It is advisable to schedule the lip filler procedure at least two weeks in advance to allow for full recovery.
