Before you consider going for a pouty pucker, see to it you have all the facts.
For your lips, an injection could even cause tissue damage and death.
“It is a very rare complication, but can happen.
Therefore it’s very important to find a well-qualified and well-trained professional to do the treatment.”
However, in reality thelifespan of lip fillersisn’t as long as you might think.
“There are newer fillers that can last up to a year.”
Ask your doctor about your options and how long each one lasts.
However, I learned that these injections go far beyond pouty looks.
They can also correct the shape of the lips.
“I recommend lip injection to the right candidates after consultation,” Dr. Moses told The List.
No lip injection is meant to create that shape.
Duck lips are the result of an incorrect placement of the filler.
“Risks include over-injection, bruising, uneven injection, and palpable filler/clumping of filler.
“Intravascular injection can cause problems with blood flow to a certain area of lip.”
There are some alternate ideas to try first.
Other topical treatments can actually stimulate our lips to create more collagen.
“But it’s a slower process.”
It is rare, but needs to be considered.
“Most people can receive lip fillers, but it isn’t for everyone.
A filler can enhance lips and beauty, but in the end, you are who you are.”
Don’t mistake fuller lips for being more beautiful or attractive.
“The most common drawback of lip injections is over-filling,” Plastic SurgeonMarc Manitold The List.
In addition to the standard fillers that last six to nine months, there are also more permanent options.
However, these permanent options can cause serious side effects.
“Permanent fillers like silicone can and often do ruin lips permanently,” warned Dr. Mani.
Infection is also a risk, but very small.”
That is why it is crucial to go to an experienced plastic surgeon.
When it comes to your face, you don’t want to go to the clearance section of clinics.
“Any result with lumps, bumps, or unevenness is likely to make the patient unhappy.
There can be bruising for one to two days post treatment, but it then subsides.
While lip injections seem like a simple procedure, you are still injecting a substance into your body.
Go to a physician you trust.
“Any other product has a high risk of developing irreversible nodules.
Do not attempt to bargain on your face.”
Otherwise, you may get some strange looks untilthe lip filler swellinggoes down.
“Injections are done in the office with topical numbing pretreatment.
Take a moment to consider any issues you’ve had with your lips or teeth before making that appointment.
You may experience swelling and bruising after the procedure.
“If you develop a bruise, it can take up to two weeks to resolve.
However, opaque lipsticks can often hide the bruise all together.
I do not recommend any dental procedures for two weeks after lip injections.”
Talk with your doctor about your specific reasons for wanting lip injections.
This will help when planning what and how much filler to use.
Blame it on social media
Here’s a scary thought.
The rise is social media selfies has caused a rise in plastic surgery demand.
“People are now seeing images of themselves repeatedly.
“Lip fillers are NOT for everyone,” warned Dr. Mani.
Talk with your physician about your medical history, concerns, and hopes for the procedure.
Always do your research and never jump in without feeling completely confident in your decision.
