Prior to the lip augmentation process, a numbing cream is applied. A suitable lip shape is determined. The filler injection is done with a very fine-tipped needle. This application is painless and fast.
There are two types of lip fillers, permanent and temporary, which add volume to the lips and make them look more emphatic and more aesthetic. Silicone is used to make permanent lip augmentation. More than one material is used for temporary filling. However, today, the most preferred material for temporary filling is hyaluronic acid. With the lip augmentation process, it is also possible to give the lip a different form and shape, as well as to plump the lip.
It is noticeable a short while after the procedure. However, it may take about 3 days for the edema and swelling to wear off. Swelling, bruising and edema are common side effects of lip augmentation. It takes an average of 7 to 10 days for the lip filler to settle and the side effects disappear within a period of 10 days.
Lip augmentation lasts an average of 12 months. Due to the absorption of the injected dermal fillers by the body, the filler injection loses its effect over time, and the lips take their old shape. However, the effet period is different from individual to another, depending on the absorption rate, the characteristics of the filler used, the dosage, and the structural characteristics of the person.
In order to reduce bruising and swelling, it is recommended to apply ice for 10-15 minutes every 2 hours for 24 hours.
Avoid make-up for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
