Are expert lip filler injectors worth traveling for?
Looking to perfect your pout with lip fillers, but don’t know where to go? If you ever hope to unlock your best lips (and avoid a duck-lipped catastrophe), it’s important to hunt down an expert lip injector with experience - even if that means traveling extra mileage to get there.
Every week, I have clients tell me, “I drive out of my way to get to you, but it’s so worth it.” So, it got me thinking... Do people think that expert lip fillers are worth traveling for? 🚗
YES, and I’m here to tell you why: You can’t always trust someone close by.
Whether you’re being persuaded by a Groupon deal or think it’s more convenient to roll down the street, I’m here to tell you why you should travel to Houston (or anywhere with credentials) for expert lip fillers.
Why you can’t Always trust the injector nearby
Let’s assume you’re new to lip fillers. Your search probably started with a quick Google search for “lip fillers near me” or “best fillers in [insert your town here].” Right?
There are plenty of options right in your neighborhood, so why drive to the big city? Maybe there’s a new med spa nearby with decent reviews so you take a chance. You may get lucky and be totally happy with your results - I hope so! BUT in my experience - that’s when clients end up with the infamous duck face, or “trout pout.” 🦆 🐟
You can’t always trust the injector nearby. The moment you compromise on the quality of the filler or your injector’s experience, you’re likely to end up in lip filler hell. So, how do you avoid that?
How to tell if your lip injector is bad
First things first: Do your homework. Check reviews, look at Before & After photos, consider their experience level and ensure they use a best-in-class filler like Restylane® or Juvederm®.
When you arrive at their office, look for these red flags. RUN away if they:
🚩 Don’t spend time studying your unique face and features
🚩 Don’t listen to you and your beauty goals before diving right into the procedure
🚩 Automatically agree to any procedure - it should be a conversation about what’s best
🚩 Don’t guide you through the appointment so you feel comfortable at all times
🚩 Don’t talk to you about aftercare to ensure the best results
Why experience is important for the best lip fillers
Did you know that you can get certified to inject dermal fillers in as little as one weekend? Some of these courses are even taught ONLINE. To me? That’s absolutely terrifying.
Don’t freak out - they won’t hand anyone a syringe. In order to get these certifications, you must be a licensed, qualified medical professional, but not all of us have higher credentials like MD, RN, NP or PA. However, even those titles don’t make you good at fillers. You need to learn.
Expert injectors are in a league of their own.
When teams are armed with decades of experience, they don’t just fill up lips. They can fix a “gummy smile,” minimize wrinkles around the lips, perfectly shape the lips and profile - and more. They have the knowledge to study a face to pick the best filler strategy and even decline treatments to patients because they know what will or won’t work.
Do yourself a favor and drive to the BEST.
