Lip filler treatments can help you look younger and achieve a better facial balance. If you struggle with thin lips or fine lines and wrinkles, these injections can help you feel more confident about your appearance. Here is what you can expect after lip filler treatments.
Types of Lip Filler Treatments
There are several types of lip filler treatments available that range in thickness. The type of lip filler treatment you choose will depend on your overall aesthetic goals. Thinner fillers can achieve more subtle results in changing the structure of your lips. Thicker fillers help change the contour and structure of your lips. The most popular lip filler treatment options include Juvederm® and Restylane®.
Lip Filler Treatment Procedure
Lip filler treatments can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and adjust the size and shape of your lips. These treatments can be done during an office appointment. Your doctor may apply a numbing cream to the area prior to injections to help reduce pain. You may feel a slight pinch from the needle during the injections. Results can become apparent immediately after injection and last approximately six to eight weeks.
After Care for Lip Filler Treatments
After receiving lip filler treatments, you will receive after care instructions to follow during recovery. Minor bruising and swelling can be expected after treatment that will subside over time. There may be mild itchiness or redness at the injection site. You can minimize these side effects by applying ice during the first 24 hours and keeping your head elevated. Avoid pressure on your lips and drink plenty of water.
