Lip Fillers

How is Lip Augmentation Done?

Lip augmentation is a painless intervention that should be performed by experts in the field and experienced in subcutaneous filling applications. First of all, the application plan is made by considering the patient's complaints and demands.

Pregnant women, breastfeeding babies, those using blood thinners and those with chronic skin problems should inform their doctor before the application.

Before the application, the area to be filled is marked and local anesthesia is performed with the help of anesthetic gel and cream. Then, with the help of fine-tipped needles, the filling material is injected into the planned area.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and its derivatives, a compound found naturally in our body and used in many cosmetic products, are frequently used in lip fillers. This molecular compound, which can hold almost 1000 times its own weight in water, keeps the moisture needed by the skin in balance. This substance is generally preferred because it is found in the body's natural structure, moisturizes the skin, provides cellular regeneration and is very unlikely to cause allergies or other side effects.

Another method used is the injection of rich fat (autologous fat) prepared from the patient's own body and stem cells. Since the tissue used is the patient's own, it is natural and does not show allergic effects, there is no incompatibility, and there is no transmission of any disease. Since the transferred tissue is living tissue, the filling effect is high. Its cost is low and it can be repeated. However, it is not preferred much because fat removal requires a separate intervention.

Unlike these two fillers, artificially produced substances such as Restylan, Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Biodegradable Polymer and collagen are also used in filling applications. It is important that the fillers used are products approved by the Ministry of Health.

Lip augmentation is completed in maximum half an hour and the patient continues his/her normal life. The desired image is formed in about a week. During this period, mild redness and swelling may be seen temporarily in the injection area.

Nothing should be eaten or drunk for at least two hours after the application. In the first week, extremely hot environments and very hot baths should be avoided and foods containing vitamin E should be avoided.

The effect of lip augmentation is temporary and lasts between 6 and 12 months. When desired, it can be applied again. The fillers used disappear spontaneously when their effect life in the skin ends. Therefore, they do not leave a permanent effect.

In people with very thin lips, sudden thickening of the lips may cause some problems. In these people, it is more appropriate to perform the application gradually with different sessions over several months.
