Lip filler procedures, which are technically also known as lip augmentation procedures, are very fast and quick. Though the procedures are minimally invasive, they produce immediate results and are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. The entire process can be classified into four steps. First, when the patient decides to get a lip fuller, they must consult someone. After consulting a plastic surgeon, one can decide how much volume one wants to be added to the lips. One can also consider the various factors and decide which procedure they want.

While some choose injections, some choose surgical augmentation. Both are not painful and they are very fast than any other cosmetic augmentation that takes place. After that, it’s the recovery period. While injections will start healing after a day or more, while surgeries take about 2 to 3 months to heal and become normal. Once the lips are healed, any type of lipstick or lipgloss can be used. Injection fillers normally last for about six months to three years.

These injections to the lips are hyaluronic acid fillers, which will help in restoring volume, improving lip shape, augment the lips and give the lips a hydrated and smooth look. While younger women want the lips to look more balanced if they have uneven upper and lower lips, older people get lip fillers to hydrate and replenish the dried, receding lips, and reduce the wrinkles on the lips.

Why Do Lip Fillers Last That Long?

The different factors that influence the time the lip fillers last are based on whether the patient gets surgery or chooses injection. In the olden days, people used collagen as lip fillers, which was derived from animals. Yet, these days, the technology has developed and injections of hyaluronic acid fillers were developed. There are different brands of lip fillers and the time these lip fillers last can also be based on the product.

The different brands of injection include Restylane, Juvaderm, Vollure, Volbella, and Collagen. Though the procedure is non-invasive, there are some things that a person makes sure of and follow before the surgery. It is better to avoid taking blood thinners for a week before the surgery, to avoid the chances of getting bruised or bleeding out.

Conclusion

It is also necessary to postpone the lip filler surgeries if there is any acne near or around the mouth, and also any sort of viral infections, to avoid any further infection.

It is also necessary to avoid dental cleaning and procedures, because, it can delay the healing duration after the surgery. Since there is a probability that lip filler surgeries can lead to infections if not taken care of well, most of the time people opt for injections. When taken care of well, these lip fillers can heal soon and they can last long.
