What is Lip Filler?

For women, lip beauty is very important – their smiles are defined by well-shaped, full lips along with healthy white teeth. Due to genetics, lips may naturally be thin, or with age, the reduction of fat tissue, wrinkles around the mouth, and sagging at the corners can cause deformities. This leads to an older appearance and aesthetic self-confidence issues. In such cases, lip aesthetics become necessary.

QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE GETTING LIP FILLER

When deciding on lip filler, you should first ensure that the specialist performing the procedure is trustworthy. You should also inquire about pre- and post-treatment instructions, the duration of results, possible side effects or allergic reactions, and whether the products used are FDA approved. Dr. Ebru DURMUŞ and her expert team provide guidance on all questions and concerns related to lip filler.

How is Lip Filler Applied?

If you are considering lip aesthetics, the first step is to decide what kind of lips you want, since there are many different lip shapes. It is important that the chosen shape suits both your facial features and the natural structure of your lips. You should also consider the recommendations and techniques offered by your doctor.

Thin and flat lips can make the face look older and less cheerful, which also affects smile aesthetics. Lips with proper fullness soften the facial expression, add warmth to the face, enhance the smile, and highlight other facial features.

The filler used in lip augmentation is a soft, gel-like substance made from collagen. Depending on the purpose, fillers are categorized as temporary or permanent. Permanent fillers are not often preferred, as they cannot be reversed and may pose higher risks.

Since the lip’s natural shape and thickness are defined, the purpose of the procedure is not to alter these excessively but rather to carefully add volume by placing small amounts of filler in precise areas.

Lip Filler in Izmir

As in all fields, doctors have their own unique styles and techniques. Most specialists prefer using hyaluronic acid-based fillers in lip filler procedures. Compared to other aesthetic treatments, lip filler in Izmir is relatively more affordable and widely performed. The results are visible immediately, though optimal outcomes are observed after 24–48 hours. Because very fine needles are used, patients may feel slight discomfort during the procedure. The treatment is short, and cold compresses are often applied during the session for comfort.

Before and After Lip Filler

Before undergoing lip filler, patients should avoid blood thinners, painkillers, fish oil, or vitamin B supplements. After the procedure, due to increased sensitivity in the lips, patients should avoid staying for long periods in very hot or very cold environments.
