As much as she tried, the use of lip liners could never achieve the effect she desired.

So, what exactly are lip fillers and can they help provide you with a permanent inflated pout? Let’s find out.

What are lip fillers?

According to Dr Anuschka Reddy – a medical doctor, anti-ageing and aesthetic treatment specialist as well as the owner of Medi-Sculpt (a group of treatment centres specialising in non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic treatments and procedures) - lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are the most common methods for lip augmentation in nagpur.

“There are many types of dermal fillers on the market but the best ones are the ones made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body,” she explains.

As hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body, it helps to support and shapes the tissues of the lips, adding temporary volume and definition.

With the recent dangers associated with body augmentation, it would be understandable if one had concerns about augmenting their lips in bhopal.

However, Dr Reddy assures that although the procedure is an aesthetic treatment and there is always a risk, you can ensure the safety of the procedure by following the appropriate steps.

“It’s incredibly important to only book an appointment with a certified, reputable cosmetic doctor and don’t ever be tempted to have your lip fillers at a spa or a beauty salon” she advises.

Highlighting the dangers of trusting a beautician over a trained cosmetic doctor, she says, “A beautician hasn’t had the training that a cosmetic doctor has and they are most definitely not able to prescribe medication or treatment if something were to go wrong. Ask your doctor for his / her certifications and request to see before and after procedures of their previous patients. Moreover, if you’re unhappy with the results, your doctor is able to dissolve the HA instantly with another injection.”

If you’re looking to get lip fillers yet you’re worried about the pain (or you suffer from trypanophobia), Dr Reddy warns that the procedure can be uncomfortable, especially considering the fact that one is injecting sensitive areas.

However, it is important to note that some fillers may contain anaesthetic and doctors do attempt to ease discomfort by using topical creams as well as Vibrata- a tactile stimulus that prohibits the feeling of pain during injections.

After the injection?

Nonetheless, the swelling is sure to settle after around 24 hours and this is when you’ll be able to properly see the final results.

In regards to the effect, if done right, the fillers will add shape, structure and volume to your lips.

There also might be some light bruising after the procedure that will usually last up to a week, as a result of proper after-care provided by your cosmetic doctor.

Any other side effects are quite rare, although there can be between a 1 to 3 percentallergic reaction with collagen skin treatments.

Nonetheless, it is extremely rare with hyaluronic acid fillers.

If you’re worried about waking up with exaggerated “ducklips”, Dr Reddy assures that if your lip injections were done properly, the fillers shouldn’t look and feel any different from natural lips.

“An experienced cosmetic doctor will know exactly how much filler is needed to achieve the desired look and still look natural. The secret to achieving a natural look for patients with very thin lips is building layers in stages and top up only when necessary.”

How long do fillers usually last?

Now that you’ve read up more on lip fillers, if you’re looking to get them yet have no idea where to start, Dr Reddy recommends Belotero.

“They can improve the appearance of your lips by adding shape, structure and volume. They integrate smoothly into your skin that they feel completely natural, just like your own tissue. Plus, these fillers contain the local anaesthetic lidocaine, to enhance your treatment comfort, especially in more sensitive areas.”

For those who consider getting lip fillers, ensure that you educate yourself on the risks involved so that you can make an informed choice.

“The most important thing to remember is that you should only book an appointment with a reputable and experienced cosmetic doctor. Do your research before you go in for a consultation to avoid lumps, infections or scarring,” Dr Reddy explains.
