SOME DOUBTS ABOUT LIP FILLER INJECTIONS

Doubt: Lip fillers stretch your lips out. Once you start getting the treatment, you’ll have to take it forever .

This is a myth.
Here’s why: Injecting a filler into the skin actually stimulates collagen production. Even after your body starts to dissolve the filler over the course of time, whatever filler is left over actually thickens your skin’s dermis (the outermost layer you want to stay firm and healthy in order to prevent fine lines and wrinkles).

Doubt: I’m too young. Fillers are for older people.

Majority of the fillers are used to treat the effects of aging. And patients of all ages have been using fillers to enhance their facial features . the fillers enhance the collagen production, thus preventing or slowing down the physical signs of aging (wrinkles).

Doubt: I already have a round face. Fillers will make it more rounded.

We use fillers to target the specific areas of your face (like your cheekbones) to give definition to a rounder face and enhance natural features. It’s like contouring with makeup, except it’s done below the skin with fillers, which is why the facial fillers are common for people who want that chiseled and well defined features without having to wear any makeup.

Doubt: Lip injections are only for people with thin lips.

Although adding volume to lips is the most common request. Some patients take filler to correct asymmetrical lips, disproportionate top and bottom lips, turned down corners, or dry, cracked lips (which appear glossier with fillers).

Doubt: You have to get them refilled all the time if they’re temporary.

You do have to get touched up if you plan on maintaining your look, but not as often as you would think. It all depends on the kind of filler and where it was injected. Most patients usually need a lip touch-up after about 1-2 years.
