About Lip Fillers
Lip filler, also known as lip augmentation with dermal fillers, is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of injectable dermal fillers to enhance the size, shape, and volume of the lips. It is a popular non-surgical option for individuals seeking fuller and more defined lips.
During the procedure, a medical professional will carefully inject dermal fillers into specific areas of the lips. This can help add volume, improve symmetry, and create a more attractive and balanced lip appearance. Lip filler can also be used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, commonly referred to as “smoker’s lines.”
Lip filler treatment provides immediate results, and the outcome is generally customizable based on the patient’s preferences and desired level of enhancement. The results of lip filler treatment are usually temporary, lasting several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.
