Few things help make you feel more glamorous than flaunting full, shapely lips. But if you feel self-conscious about your naturally thin lips or you’re concerned with how the aging process has changed them over time, you may be searching for ways to improve. Lip filler injections in Atlanta are a popular option for people longing to improve and enhance their lips without surgery. The lips are hands down the most requested areas for treatment with dermal fillers throughout the aesthetic industry.
How do lip fillers work?
Dermal fillers, in general, work by literally filling in the skin where injected. Most fillers on the market contain hyaluronic acid (HA) as the primary component, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps the skin maintain its youthful structure. HA has an amazing ability to hold much more than its own weight in water, so it adds both fullness and hydration when injected into the lips. A wide variety of filler options allows us to completely customize each patient’s lip filler treatment to meet their individual needs.
Am I a candidate for lip fillers?
Lip fillers aren’t just for plumping. They can improve a variety of lip concerns, including:
- Sharpening lip contour
- Balancing asymmetry or proportion
- Creating or restoring volume
- Boosting hydration to provide a smoothing effect
Preguntas Frecuentes
Will I need any downtime after lip injections?
Most lip filler patients get back to their normal activities as soon as their injections are done. We do recommend, however, that you avoid any strenuous physical activity and avoid wearing lipstick for the first 24-48 hours after your injections. This helps minimize any swelling and bruising (typical mild side effects with treatment). These are temporary and can usually be alleviated by applying cold compresses periodically, as well as any resulting tenderness from the injections. We’ll discuss everything you can expect at your private consultation.
How long do the results of lip fillers usually last?
Depending on the type of filler used and your individual metabolism, lip filler results can last anywhere from 6-12 months. Then they are safely and naturally absorbed by the body. Most patients elect regular touch-up injections when their lip filler results start to fade.
