Lip Filler

Lip filler is the non-surgical injection of special filler substances into the lips to achieve the desired lip appearance. Made from synthetic hyaluronic acid, lip filler gives the lips fullness, more defined borders and a more symmetrical shape.

Its effect is temporary; however, its popularity stems from being quick to apply, painless and repeatable. It contributes to improved body image by boosting the person’s self-confidence.

How Is Lip Filler Applied?

After a local anesthetic cream is applied to the lip, or local anesthesia is administered from inside the lip, the filler material is injected into the designated areas using fine-tipped needles or cannulas. A cold compress may be used to reduce swelling and bruising.

When Is Lip Filler Performed?

It can be applied to healthy adults who are unhappy with thin, low-volume lips, who have a shape/symmetry irregularity in their lips, or who are bothered by fine lines around the lips.

Who Should Not Get Lip Filler?

  • Filler treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • It is not recommended for those with clotting disorders or a bleeding diathesis.
  • It should not be applied during active periods of rheumatological or autoimmune diseases.
  • It should not be applied to those with a known hypersensitivity to the filler substance.

What Are the Advantages of Lip Filler?
