Lip filler is an aesthetic procedure that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This procedure is preferred for loss of volume of the lips, asymmetrical appearance, thin lips or wrinkles caused by the effect of aging. Lip filler is a very simple and fast procedure and usually takes 15-30 minutes. During the procedure, the lips are numbed using local anaesthetic cream and natural filling materials such as hyaluronic acid are injected into the lips with the help of a fine needle. The injected filling materials provide a fuller and more attractive appearance by volumising the lips.
After the lip fillers, patients can immediately return to their normal daily activities. However, side effects such as mild swelling and bruising may occur after the procedure. These side effects usually resolve spontaneously within a few days. The lip augmentation procedure usually maintains its effect for 6-12 months, after which the filling materials are naturally excreted from the body. Therefore, the permanence of the procedure may vary depending on the structure of the person’s lips, the type of filling material and the techniques applied. Since lip filler is an aesthetic procedure, it is important that it is applied in accordance with the facial features and lip structure of the person. For this reason, it is important for people who are interested in lip fillers to pay attention to the fact that the centre where the procedure will be performed has an experienced and expert team.
