Dermal Fillers and Beautiful Lips

Dermal Fillers   ·   September 6, 2010

With the advancement of medical technology day after day, almost anything is possible. For those who are looking to achieve plump and voluptuous lips, there are several different solutions. Dermal fillers can be used to smoothen out contours in any part of a person’s face and neck. Dermal fillers have been used for many years to put volume and structure in the skin in such areas  as the naso-labial lines. But one of the most popular area for treatment, particularly in this Sydney clinic are the lips.

‘Pumping gloss’ can help to give a slight extra fulness. But minimal and very temporary.  Most people would also suggest be conservative with the lip liner. Overdo this and it looks more comical than good.

For more substantial volume and definition people turn to lip injections. Dermal fillers are great to create volume. Either a little or if suitable for that person- to create voluptuous full lips. Dermal fillers can also be used to help define the lip border. This is useful to help treat ’smoker’s lines’ or to help lift the corners of the mouth that tend to sag as we get older. This will have some downtime. There can be swelling and bruising to a person’s lip area, for a couple of days. These results are great, for they are almost instant and can last up to 9 months before requiring a top-up. As quick and almost painless as these procedures are, your doctor will need to make an assessment beforehand. Before getting any invasive treatment, a physician has to make sure that any potential allergies to these fillers and anaesthetics are noted.

Another more invasive lip plumping solution is a lip implant. Transferring fat from one part of a person’s body to their lips achieves this. Although these implants are long lasting, there are risks. Lip implants are more prone to create scarring or uneven lumps in the lips. This procedure will also require a general anaesthetic, instead of a topical

anaesthetic for injections.  Both invasive and non-invasive lip-filling treatments are usually done by appointment in a doctor’s office or hospital. Fat implants and implants will both tend to require an operating room and anaesthesia (which will also add to the final cost). Explore your options with your doctor because they will vary from person to person.

These days, there are walk-in clinics or high-end salons and spas that offer some of these injection treatments; some of which include wrinkle injections and dermal fillers. But ultimately the quality of each outcome to these treatments has, and will always depend on the skills of the physician or administering person. Make sure that your physician is a reputable one and can help you decide which solution is right for you.
