There are temporary options like dermal fillers that can last up to a year and also, permanent lip implants. The options are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dermal fillers\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat injections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lip implants<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4027\" title=\"icon2 1\" role=\"img\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my-esthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/04\/icon2-1.svg\" alt=\"icon2 1\" width=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Fuller or smoother lips with dermal fillers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most popular dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid as the main ingredient. There are still collagen fillers available as an alternative, but they are more likely to cause an allergic reaction, they don\u2019t last longer than 3 months and they don\u2019t keep the shape of the lips as hyaluronic fillers do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose what filler you\u2019re going to get depending on a style that you\u2019re going for. There\u2019s a wide selection of lip filler brands such as Juvederm and Restylane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4029\" title=\"icon3\" role=\"img\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my-esthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/04\/icon3-1.svg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why we use Hyaluronic acid lip injections (Dermal filler injections<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They last up to 12 months, so they are a great choice if you are going for temporary but still long-lasting results. The benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose the volume and size of your lips and increase it gradually during different appointments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s less chance for things to go wrong. You may get lumps and bumps but you can get rid of them easily by massaging the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hyaluronic acid lip fillers are made from substances similar to those found in the body, so there\u2019s a less chance to get an allergic reaction. But, some fillers contain local anaesthesia (lidocaine) so you should tell your doctor if you\u2019re allergic before treatment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4031\" title=\"icon4 1\" role=\"img\" src=\"http:\/\/www.my-esthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/04\/icon4-1.svg\" alt=\"icon4 1\" width=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>How does the lip enhancement treatment look like<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before the lip injection, numbing agents may be applied to ease the pain. It is usually in a form of topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) or local anaesthesia. Sometimes, nerve block injections can be given to completely numb the lips. Doctors will carefully mark the areas where fillers have to be injected and, with very fine needles, inject the substance into your lips. The treatment usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What to Expect During the treatment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will certainly feel some kind of pain, but it\u2019s not worse than getting a vaccination. You can gauge the true effect of the lip filler when it\u2019s being done, but it\u2019s going to be a lot harder if your lips are swollen. You can avoid that by avoiding numbing cream if you can bear the pain. You can put ice on your lips before the procedure and also after. It will help with pain and bruising. After a procedure, your lips may look overfilled, but don\u2019t panic, it will go away in no more than 24 hours and your lips will look beautiful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Main benefits and risks of lip enhancement treatment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuller lips can make a person look and feel younger and also help boost their confidence. Hyaluronic acid fillers can provide a nice natural look. You can choose the style and size of your lips and increase it gradually. There are a few side effects that include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bleeding from injection sites<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling and bruising<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reactivation of fever blisters (herpes simplex)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lumps and bumps in the lips (they can be removed by massaging the area)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These can last up to a few days. If side effects get worse, you should see your doctor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What to consider before lip enhancement treatment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before getting your lip fillers, you should think and decide what area or areas of your lips you want to change. Also, you have to decide which style will suit you best. For the perfect natural look, the top lip should be 70% of the size of the bottom lip. The Vermilion Dollars Lips is a classification system that will help you find your ideal lip shape and size. There are six basic lip styles: the Classic, Rubina, Cupid, Pearlique, Hollywood and Angelic. Also, you should consider whether it is worth the risk, but the complications are very rare and if you choose the right doctor, there\u2019s nothing to worry about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lip Augmentation Consultation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to research several surgeons, don\u2019t settle for the first that pops on your feed. It is important to check if the surgeon is professionally trained and if he has a lot of experience. You should be aware of all your options and, with the help of a doctor decide which is the best for you.\u00a0 <\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Lip augmentation aftercare<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce swelling, itching, bruising and pain you can apply ice pack of ice cube covered in cloth (so it doesn\u2019t stick to the lip).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take Arnica pills for bruising if your doctor approves.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is important to stay hydrated, so drink plenty of water, it will help you heal. Also, you should eat plenty of fruits and vegetables that are filled with water<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take painkillers if you need to, but you have to ask your doctor first. You can\u2019t take blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Lip enhancement treatment recovery and what to avoid after treatment\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Side effects go away in a couple of days. It usually takes 4 weeks for lips to fully recover and to achieve the desired look.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should avoid exercise for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Elevated blood pressure and heart rate from exercise may make swelling or bruising worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid high temperatures like going to saunas or steam rooms.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid applying makeup on your lips for 24 hours after getting lip fillers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should avoid smoking right after the procedure. Smoking can increase the risk of infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid taking alcohol beverages for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Alcohol acts as a blood thinner and it can increase swelling and bruising.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try avoiding foods that contain sodium. Sodium may worsen swelling. Also, avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t go on a flight a week after you get fillers. Air pressure in a plane can make swelling worse.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>When should you consider to re-treat your lips again?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can get lip fillers every six months. After the filler is dissolved, the lips return to their original shape. If you want, you can get them done six months after last treatment or when you feel that they lost their volume.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FAQ<\/span><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Treatment options You can choose the type of treatment you want to get depending on what you\u2019re looking for.
