Noticing more and more luscious lips these days? That’s because the number of women who use lip filler has more than doubled since the year 2000! But of course, with popularity, comes skepticism. That is why we are here to clear any confusion about lip filler with these myth busters. Keep reading…
Myth #1: Lip filler’s sole purpose is to plump up thin lips.
Fact: This couldn’t be more wrong! Sure, adding volume to thin lips is probably the most common reason why people get lip filler, but there are lots of other benefits as well. Some of these include…
- Improving symmetry of the lips
- Adjusting the shape of either the upper or lower lip (or both)
- Contouring
- Defining the cupid’s bow (where the upper lip comes to two points towards the center of the mouth)
- Boosting turned-down lip corners
- Providing moisture to chronically chapped lips
Myth #2: Everyone can tell if you’ve had lip filler.
Fact: Because lip filler has become so popular, just about everyone is offering the service…including unlicensed providers. This, of course, can lead to a botched filler job. At Skin NV, we only use top-quality products such as Restylane filler and Juvéderm that are formulated with hyaluronic acid (a compound the body produces on its own) that enhances the appearance of lips in a subtle, natural way. In addition, our team of highly trained and experienced National injectors will provide the best injection strategy to meet your specific needs and wants.
Myth #3: Lip filler procedures are painful.
Fact: While a lip filler procedure is not the most comfortable thing to do, it most certainly is not painful. Before the injection, your injector will apply numbing cream to the lips and surrounding area to avoid any discomfort. The treatment is brief and takes about 15 minutes to complete.
Myth #4: Your lips will feel strange after you’ve had a lip filler injection.
Fact: Your lips may feel a little “off” after a lip filler injection, BUT this only lasts for a week or two at the most. Very soon, you will acclimate to the new shape of your lips and no longer notice a difference. If administered properly, fillers should never change the texture of your lips or make them feel weird for an extended period of time.
Myth #5: Your lips will lose their natural shape once the filler dissolves.
Fact: Your lip filler will start to break down six to twelve months following the procedure. It occurs naturally and slowly, and your lips will return to their pre-filled shape without sagging or damage. Because the filler is formulated with hyaluronic acid that promotes natural collagen production, you will continue to reap the benefits of the filler even after it has completely dissolved.
