Top 6 things to know about lip fillers
You can never do too much research before a cosmetic procedure and no matter how safe dermal fillers may be in general you still understandably have some questions you need answered before you have them injected into your face.
We are here to answer these questions, with 6 key pieces of information about lip fillers that answer the majority of the questions that we get asked about lip fillers in Glasgow on a regular basis.
Lip Fillers are reversible
When you choose to have dermal filler lip fillers made from hyaluronic acid, you can relax knowing that they are fully reversible and can be dissolved at anytime by your doctor using an enzyme called Hyalase.
The chances of something going wrong with dermal fillers when injected by a trained experienced cosmetic doctor are low, but one of the side effects that people are most concerned about is the forming of lumps when filler gathers in one place. This reversibility means that if you are unlucky enough to be in the tiny percentage of clients to whom this happens, you won’t have to live with the effects for months until the filler dissolves naturally.
There are multiple lip fillers on the market
There are both permanent and non-permanent lip filler options available in the cosmetic industry but by far the most common, and the one that our expert team provides and recommends is hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers.
There are many reasons that this is the case with the main one being the low-risk nature of the treatment and the superb results that can be achieved.
Whilst they may by temporary, dermal fillers do last a lot longer than other non-surgical cosmetics such as Botox, with results tasking around 9-12 months to wear off.
They are incredibly quick and easy
Lip filler injection treatments often take well under an hour to carry out at your local clinic, and with only a mild numbing cream being required, the whole process is incredibly quick and easy, with very little disruption to your life.
Many people choose to get lip fillers during their lunch break!
There is more to lip fillers than getting big lips
Many people connect the idea of lip fillers to the celebs they see on TV with large puffy unnatural looking lips but hyaluronic acid fillers are designed to highlight your natural features no resigned your face.
Many people get fillers to balance their lips rather than enlarge them, adding volume to the top lip if their bottom lip is plumper, or vice versa.
Dermal fillers are incredibly flexible and can be used to achieve a wide range of effects by a skilled doctor, allowing you to obtain the exact appearance that you have always desired.
Lip fillers are not risk free
Lip fillers are a fantastic option, there is no getting around it, but no cosmetic treatment even a non-surgical reversible one is completely risk free.
You will need to sign a few forms to indicate that you understand the risks involved prior to treatment so make sure that you do.
For a few days after your lip filler treatment you will see some mild bruising and swelling around the injection site. This is perfectly normal but if these effects do not subside them contact your doctor.
In very rare instances, more severe effects of dermal fillers include scarring, filler leakages, and allergic reactions, although the latter is very rare given that hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body.
They shouldn’t feel unnatural
If all goes as planned, and it almost always does, your enhanced lips won’t feel or look unnatural, bumpy, or hard. They will simply be a bit bigger, and you won’t be able to wait for the next chance you get to look in the mirror.
