Dermal fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the country. While they can also be used to fill in wrinkles, they are commonly used to create fuller, plumper lips.
Unfortunately, the stereotype for lip fillers are unrealistic, huge and pouty lips. Many people may be reluctant to get Dermal Fillers because they think that is what their results will look like. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Dermal fillers can create beautiful, subtle and natural-looking lips.
If you want naturally full lips with dermal fillers, follow these tips to help you get the results you want.
Choose the Right Filler
Dermal fillers are most often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid is by far the best filler for lips, offering a natural look and feel. You should never select a different type of filler for lips.
You should also be mindful of the concentration of hyaluronic acid in fillers. At first, you’ll be able to feel the hyaluronic acid in your lips. But over time, it draws water into the filler material, creating a natural feel.
If the concentration of hyaluronic acid is too high, it draws in too much water. This can make your filler expand above your vermillion zone (the pink or red areas of your lips) and cause white lines to appear around your mouth. Always ask your dermal filler provider if the product they are using is made for lips.
Choose the Right Amount of Dermal Filler
Too much filler leads to huge lips that expand past the vermilion zone. They can look swollen. They may lose the cupid’s bow in the top lip.
Be clear with your dermal filler provider about what kind of volume you want. Most people only need about 1 to 3 ccs of filler to get the right results. Start off slowly, with a small amount of filler, and consider adding to it in later treatments if it isn’t quite the volume you want.
Get the Correct Filler Placement
If your dermal filler is too deep, you won’t see it at all. But if it is too superficial, you’ll have lumpy or bumpy lips. Your upper lip may hang down oddly. Poor filler placement can be worse than too much filler.
Filler placement all depends on the experience and expertise of your aesthetician or provider. Always research your provider and ensure they have proper training and experience with dermal fillers. Read reviews online and, if possible, get a referral from a friend or family member you trust. Be sure your aesthetician knows what you are looking for and can deliver the results you want.
