Are you thinking about a Lip Enhancement procedure?

If you are thinking about having a lip enhancement procedure, it is very easy to be put off by what you can find on the internet. With hundreds of images of ‘trout pouts’ and ‘duck lips’ and pages of Google results about fillers that have gone wrong, it is understandable why there are so many fears and misconceptions surrounding lip filler procedures.

Lip enhancement procedures are very safe when administered by medically trained professionals who are specifically trained in facial anatomy and complications management. While complications are very rare, it is important to be aware that they can happen.

There are many different lip shapes and styles. The most flattering shape takes into account many different factors, including face shape, facial features and the original shape and size of an individual’s natural lips. Beautiful lips should be full and soft.

What if’s..

• What if you don’t like your new lips?
• What if your lips are lumpy or uneven?
• What if your lips are too pouty?
• What if you want your old lips back?

Please don’t worry or panic!
Lip filler procedures are TEMPORARY and sometimes the product can settle in an unpredictable way. Breathe, try to relax and remember that you were injected with an industry-leading Juvederm product that is Hyaluronic Acid-based. Hyaluronic Acid products have two major things in common: hopefully these will help put your mind at ease.

• The product remains malleable for a few weeks, so if necessary, it can be carefully massaged into the desired formation. Small adjustments should always be left to your medical professional.
• The lip filler product can be completely dissolved using a dissolving product called Hyaluronidase. Your lips will return to baseline within a few days.

Other important considerations

It is important to prepare for some bruising and/or swelling. All lips will appear a little swollen immediately after the procedure and for up to 2 weeks post-procedure. Bruising does not always happen, however, you should be prepared for the possibility. It is advisable to not have a lip filler procedure within a week or two of a major event.

Filler lasts longer in areas of the face that do not move very much. For example, for product injected around the mouth and in the lips, which are in almost constant motion, the product in these areas can break down faster.

If you love your results and want to keep them up, you should expect to treat your lips up to twice a year (on average) to maintain your desired look. Different people will have different result longevity, so this is just an approximate number.

Cosmetic injections are a form of art, and it is very important to make sure that you are placing your face into the care of a medically trained professional who understands how to achieve natural looking, flattering and long-lasting results.

Lip fillers are an aesthetic treatment so there’s always a chance that something could go wrong. It’s incredibly important to only allow a qualified, reputable and medical trained professional to administer the treatment.

• Don’t be afraid to be honest
• Try and have realistic expectations
• To achieve the desired look, be patient
• Most of all, enjoy your new lips!
