WHAT ARE LIP FILLERS MADE OUT OF?
If you’re new to lip fillers, let’s start at the top. Made primarily from hyaluronic acid (HA), lip fillers (aka, dermal fillers) are safe and effective FDA-approved injectables. HA occurs naturally within the body and is perfect for adding volume under the skin PLUS moisturizing and nourishing it. That’s because HA encourages collagen production in the skin. Win-win.
These syringes don’t just add volume to lips. Fillers can also be used to contour the face, smooth the nose, diminish wrinkles, sharpen the jawline - and more (peek our packages). In short, fillers are awesome, non-permanent alternatives to plastic surgery or other invasive procedures.
HOW DOES THE LIP FILLER PROCESS WORK?
Here at LushRX, we offer the LUCKY filler package using Restylane or Juvederm (two popular dermal fillers). This procedure is customized for every single client because no two lips are alike - nor are our beauty goals. Our team’s goal is to plump up and/or redefine your lips to enhance your natural lip shape.
Every expert injector should know, lip injections are different for everyone. Many clients get lip injections for different reasons. Of course, fillers can plump and enhance the size of your lips, but they can also:
💋 Diminish vertical lip lines
💋 Smooth out lines around the mouth
💋 Lift the corners of the mouth
💋 Improve symmetry of the lips
💋 Create definition of lips’ outer lines
💋 Contour the cupid's bow
Not every patient who seeks lip fillers wants bigger lips! We treat many patients who just want to improve their lip shape.
HOW MUCH LIP FILLER IS TOO MUCH?
Everyone’s lips and goals are completely different. That’s why during a consultation, we take the time to determine what’s best for you and set expectations.
To put it simply, some patients’ lips can take on way more filler than others. Other patients simply don’t have the profile for it. How much filler your lips can handle usually hinges on how much pink surface area you have within your lip structure. We’re on a mission to avoid any “duck faces.” 🦆 That tragedy happens when too much filler is injected into lips that simply can’t take it, so the filler puffs the outsides of the mouth too, not just the lips.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GET A PUFFIER POUT
If you’re considering lip fillers, here are some extra tidbits to know.
First, lip fillers are a long-term investment. Any filler’s length of results varies from patient to patient. That’s because it depends on how their body processes filler, plus other factors like lifestyle and diet. On average, patients enjoy optimal lip filler results for 6 months (some are lucky enough to go a year or more).
Next, if you don’t LOVE your lip fillers, they can always be dissolved. There is an injectable that helps dissolve fillers, so you can reverse work that was previously done in 1-2 treatments.
Lastly, everyone should expect some minimal swelling and bruising. On the day of your injections, we recommend sleeping face up and avoiding heavy exercise, salty foods, and alcohol. Also, avoid any other... “intensive lip activities” for a few days, if you get what we mean... Excessive lip straining or compressing will literally flatten out your fillers!
