Lip Filler

One of the most remarkable features of the face and a sign of attractiveness are the lips. Dermal filler injections can help you achieve more voluminous, symmetrical, appealing, and feminine-looking lips that complement your face shape.

How does lip filler work?

Lip augmentation is a medical cosmetic surgery used to improve the aesthetic look of the lips and to make the lower and upper lips compatible and proportionate.

Hyaluronic acid-containing dermal filler is injected to fill in the lips. The duration of the lip filler's effect, which lasts for 6 to 12 months, may vary according to the amount injected, the person's structural characteristics, the condition of the lips at the time, the choices of the brand, and environmental circumstances.

For those who are uncomfortable with the size, shape, or deformities of their lips, lip augmentation is one of the most successful procedures. With lip augmentation injections, the area surrounding the lips as well as the lips that lost volume with age can seem more dynamic, vibrant, and youthful. It is now possible to have lips that look significantly more aesthetically pleasing thanks to the lip augmentation injection, which is planned for the individual and applied with the correct procedures. The attractiveness of a smile is also improved by removing lip deformities. The hyaluronic acid in the dermal filler gives the lips a youthful appearance by making them appear nicer, healthier, and fuller.

In this way, it is aimed to increase the comfort of the patient during the procedure. After the numbing effect is achieved, dermal filler is injected into the predetermined areas via fine-tipped needles or cannulas.

For lip augmentation injections, achieving a natural look should be the main consideration.

The technique should be planned individually for the patient in order to achieve this.
