Who can undergo lip filler treatment?

Patients with naturally thin lips, lips that have become thinner with age, or those who desire fuller and more defined lips may be evaluated for treatment.

Lip filler is a preferred method for adding volume to thin lips or making the lip shape more defined. In some patients, contouring around the lips alone may be sufficient to enhance the borders and create a gently curved appearance.

Filler application in very thin lips requires careful planning. For more natural results, gradual treatment over time may be healthier than placing excessive volume in a single session.

Fine wrinkles that develop around the lips over time can also be improved with appropriately planned filler applications.

What should be considered after application?

• Bruising may appear the next day and swelling can last for several days.
• These complaints usually decrease significantly within about 1 week.
• The lips should be protected from unnecessary pressure in the early period.
• Final evaluation is made after the swelling settles.
