Lip fill

Over the years, collagen production progressively decreases, causing our lips to lose volume. A beautiful smile without an equally attractive lip is like a great work of art without an equivalent frame. Therefore, we use lip fillers with hyaluronic acid, the substance that is the raw material of our collagen, which is also tolerated and well absorbed by our body. Hyaluronic acid will quite naturally restore the volume lost over the years.

The procedure is performed under previous anesthesia, always, for the patient’s comfort. Then, after the demarcation of the entire lip, hyaluronic acid is injected to return the lost volume, and the lip massage is performed to homogenize the product.

At the time of the procedure, it is possible that a blood vessel is hit, and the region may be purple. If this happens, there are ointments to reduce the effects of ecchymosis (purplishness), which disappears in a few days.

There are several lip filling techniques, which are evaluated and discussed with the patient in advance, according to needs. There are no equal cases, they are all different, and mastering several techniques gives the professional the ability to satisfy the most varied requirements.

There is a very small possibility of having an allergic reaction to the product, however, with the interruption of the filling and the use of an antiallergic, the effects are fully controlled.

Fortunately the fill is temporary, so there’s always the option to change the volume over the years. Younger patients have fuller lips, but as they get older they can make this lip more discreet. The average lifespan of lip fillers can vary between 12 and 18 months.

In addition to being a procedure with a limited duration, luckily there is the possibility of reversing the filling, if there is a need for some reason, or even a personal option.
