How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

Lips are one of the most striking parts of our face. Women want full and smooth lips when they wear lipstick or not. Unfortunately, not everyone can have naturally plump and perfectly shaped lips. In some people, it is even possible to see that the lips become thinner as they get older. Considering these, it is not surprising that many people are turning to lip fillers nowadays.

Lip filling is a medical aesthetic procedure performed to obtain thicker, fuller, and smoother lips in people with thin lips. The most popular filling material is hyaluronic acid. While hyaluronic acid plumps lips, it also renews and gives a smooth appearance. Naturally found in the human body, hyaluronic acid is completely compatible with the lips. There is nothing to be afraid of in a lip filling performed by a professional doctor in a sterile environment. However, this issue should be taken seriously. If the procedure isn’t performed by a specialist you can experience serious infections and health problems.

The most preferred and recommended filler material by physicians is hyaluronic acid because it is spontaneously found in the human skin and has tens of times more water retention. Hyaluronic acid does not cause any side effects and disappears spontaneously over time. Of course, the quality of the product used and the person making the application come to the fore.

Lip filling is not performed on everyone in the same way. In some people, the upper lip is very thin, while in others both lips may be troublesome. The thing I pay attention to in lip filling is to get a result that looks both beautiful and natural. Lip fillers are very practical and can be done within 5 minutes. Before the procedure, the lips are numbed with the help of anesthetic cream, thus reducing the risk of pain. I apply ice and massage on the lips after the procedure to prevent edema and minimize bleeding. Lip filling procedure shows its effect right after the treatment.

The permanence of lip fillers may vary from person to person. As I said above, the hyaluronic acid filler I prefer spontaneously dissolves over time. This period lasts 6-12 months. If you wish, you can renew your filling again afterward. Lip fillers can be repeated done twice a year.

Permanent lip fillers are also available in the market. However, these fillers are not preferred much today because they commonly cause allergic reactions and have a high risk of infection. In addition, since these permanent fillings do not dissolve over time surgical intervention is required if it is desired to be removed. For such reasons, I recommend non-permanent lip fillers to my patients.
