Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Lip Fillers Made of?
Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occuring substance in the tissues. There are different formulations available, and each one has specific unique qualities that make it best suited for achieving specific results.
How Do Lip Injections Work?
Depending on how, where, and how much filler is placed, lip injections can create shape and definition, provide fullness, and enhance lip beauty and proportions. Done poorly, lip injections can distort natural anatomy and create disharmony between the facial features.
Are Lip Fillers Permanent?
Lip fillers commonly used at present are not permanent, and can be dissolved if desired.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Lip fillers typically last 6-12 months, depending on product chosen and individual rate of metabolism.
What Happens to Lip Injections Over Time?
Over time, the body metabolizes the product. If too much is injected at once, there can be spread of product to adjacent tissues, producing a thickened upper lip appearance, for example.
Are Lip Fillers Safe?
Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced in the body. Because of this, lip fillers are generally safe. The main risks are related to the injection itself, rather than the filler product.
Are Lip Fillers Vegan?
Current day fillers are mainly hyaluronic acid based, and not derived from animals or animal products.
Do Lip Injections Hurt?
The lips are a fairly sensitive area. Topical numbing makes the procedure more comfortable, as does icing the surface before injection. Laughing gas is also an option to help alleviate pain and anxiety.
