What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) into the lips to enhance their shape, fullness, and symmetry, tailored to the individual’s preferences. This procedure has gained significant popularity due to its ability to quickly and safely improve one’s appearance when performed by a skilled professional. It offers a non-invasive solution to achieve a more balanced and youthful look.
How do fillers work?
The majority of fillers used are derived from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that has the ability to retain moisture, making the skin appear hydrated and plump. When injected into the lips, the filler immediately adds volume to the area. The results typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and post-treatment care.

Things to know before getting lip filler injections
- Choose a specialist doctor: It is important to undergo the procedure with an experienced doctor and to use fillers that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure safety and optimal results.
- The results are not permanent: If you are not satisfied with the results, hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler, as it breaks down hyaluronic acid and restores the area to its previous state.
- There may be side effects: For example, swelling, bruising, or allergic reactions, which are usually temporary and subside over time.
How should I take care of myself after filler injection?
- Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area for the first 24 hours.
- Drink plenty of water to help the filler work effectively and keep your skin hydrated.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or consuming extremely hot food and beverages for 1-2 days after the procedure.
