In this article, you can find information about how lip filler treatment is applied, in which cases it is preferred, and what to consider after the procedure.

What is Lip Filling and How Does It Work?

Lip filler is the process of injecting fillers into the lips to shape, plump, and correct the symmetry of the lips. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid are generally preferred for lip filler. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the skin and makes the skin look fuller and younger thanks to its moisture retention properties. This filler injected into the lips gives volume to the lips while also providing a moist and smooth appearance.

Benefits of Lip Fillers

• Provides fullness: Provides a fuller and more attractive appearance by adding volume to thin lips.
• Corrects lip shape: Corrects asymmetry and deformities in the lips, providing a more balanced appearance.
• Moisturizes and provides smoothness: The filler containing hyaluronic acid moisturizes the lips and provides a smooth texture.
• Provides natural results: Correct lip filler applied in a way provides an understated and natural appearance.
• Temporary and safe: Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe because they are substances that can be naturally absorbed by the body, and their effect is temporary and can be repeated.

In Which Cases is Lip Filling Preferred?

Lip filler can be applied for different aesthetic purposes. This procedure, which is widely preferred to make the lips look more voluminous and aesthetic, can also be used to correct lip deformities, eliminate volume loss due to aging and achieve a more symmetrical lip structure.

1. Thin Lips

People with naturally thin lips can make their lips fuller with lip fillers. The added volume to the lips makes them look more prominent and attractive.

2. Lip Deformities

Some people may have asymmetry, irregularity or undefined lip lines between the lips. With lip fillers, these deformities in the lips are corrected and a more balanced and symmetrical appearance is achieved.

3. Volume Loss Due to Aging

The volume loss that naturally occurs in the lips with age causes the lips to look thinner and lifeless. Lip filler eliminates this volume loss and gives the lips a youthful and fuller appearance.

4. Defining the Lip Contour

For people with unclear lip lines, lip filler makes the lip contour more prominent. With lip filler application, the upper borders of the lip and lip folds are made more prominent.

How is Lip Filling Applied?

Lip filler application is a safe and effective procedure performed by a specialist dermatologist in a clinical environment. Specialist Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü plans the lip filler application in a personalized way according to the requests and needs of her patients and aims to achieve the most natural results. Here are the steps of the lip filler procedure:

1. Lip Evaluation and Planning

In the first stage, the shape, volume and aesthetic expectations of the lips are evaluated. After the desired appearance with lip filler is determined, it is decided which areas the application will be made to and how much filler will be used.

2. Local Anesthesia and Preparation

Lip FillingIn the application, local anesthetic cream is usually used to make the procedure comfortable. In this way, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

3. Injection of the Filler

After the preparations are completed, the filler is injected into the lips with the help of thin needles. During this procedure, both the lower and upper parts of the lips are filled equally. In addition, the borders of the lips are highlighted and a natural volume is gained. The application is a short procedure that takes approximately 15-30 minutes.

4. Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

After the procedure is completed, slight swelling or bruising may be observed on the lips. These effects usually disappear within a few days. You can immediately return to your daily life after lip filler, but it is important to be careful for a few days so that your lips can recover.

What to Consider After Lip Fillers?

After the lip filler procedure, it is important to follow some recommendations to speed up the healing process of your lips and ensure that the filler is more permanent. Uzm. Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü states that the following points should be taken into consideration after lip augmentation:

• Avoid extreme heat and cold: Since the lips will be sensitive after lip augmentation, extremely hot or cold foods and drinks should be avoided.
• Do not rub or squeeze the lips: Avoid applying pressure to the lips after the procedure and do not rub your lips. This will prevent the filler from shifting.
• Drink plenty of water: It is important to maintain the body's moisture balance after lip augmentation. You can contribute to the lips looking more moist and healthy by drinking enough water.
• Do not smoke: Smoking can negatively affect the circulation in the lips and reduce the effect of the filler. It is recommended not to smoke for a while after the procedure.
• Pay attention to makeup application: Avoid applying makeup to your lips for the first 24 hours and stay away from products that may irritate your skin.

How Long Does Lip Filling Last?

Lip filling usually lasts for 6-12 months, depending on the filler used and the person's body structure. Fillers containing hyaluronic acid are absorbed by the body over time and disappear naturally. When the effect of lip filler decreases, the procedure may need to be repeated to maintain the desired volume.

What are the advantages of lip filler?

• Fast and effective results: Lip filler application allows you to have fuller and more aesthetic lips in a short time.
• Provides a natural look: Hyaluronic acid filler gives the lips a natural volume and provides an aesthetically balanced appearance.
• It is a safe method: Since hyaluronic acid is a substance compatible with the skin, the lip filler procedure is extremely safe.
• Daily after the procedure quick return to life: The recovery period after lip filler is short and the patient can return to normal life in a short time.
• Temporary and repeatable: When the effect of lip filler decreases, the desired appearance can be maintained thanks to the repeatability of the procedure.

Who is Lip Filling Suitable For?

Lip filler is suitable for almost everyone who wants to add volume to their lips, correct their lip shape or achieve a more symmetrical appearance. At the same time, people who have lost volume in their lips due to aging can also achieve a younger and fuller lip structure with lip filler. However, it is important for people with serious health problems or allergic reactions to fillers to be evaluated by a dermatologist before the procedure.
