Plumping Your Pout With Lip Fillers

Lip fillers allow you to bring more focus to your lips. In addition to adding more fullness, lip fillers can be a simple way to even out asymmetry and reduce fine lines around the mouth.

Are you thinking about whether or not injections are right for you? Here’s what you need to know to be ready for your injection!

What Do Lip Fillers Do?

Lip fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a water-loving substance that augments the shape and size of the lips for a soft, supple, plump look.

Different fillers can achieve different results. This is something your injector can help you decide on depending on what you want out of your injections.

For instance, Juvéderm can deliver a noticeable, voluminous appearance to the lips whereas Restylane injections may be more subtle.

This is all up to your personal preference!

There isn’t a long recovery period post-injection, either. Avoid pain medications that can thin the blood, and avoid straining the injection site – so don’t schedule any dental work for the week following your injection.

You may notice some bruising and swelling, but this should subside within a few days.

Do note that filler doesn’t last forever. While they do fade over time, your results can remain visible anywhere from six to twelve months.

Here's How To Prep

First, know what you want your end result to be. If you want a noticeable difference in the volume of your lips, let your specialist know! Your specialist, like Sarah Balladares, can help you to determine the perfect amount of filler to complement your facial features and give you the results you want.

Know the importance of not overfilling your lips. The old adage is the same in the world of lip fillers – it’s easier to add than to take away.

Avoid taking Aspirin or Aleve for at least a week before your appointment. These medicines can thin your blood and make bruises more prominent following your injection.
