Lip Injections with Dermal Fillers

4 Things You Should Know BEFORE Lip Injections

You see fuller lips everywhere – in magazines, on TV, and of course Instagram. There is simply no getting away from it! Has all that exposure left you wondering what you can do about your own lips?

  • Prepare

First, prepare physically. You may need to stop taking blood thinners before your injections, so talk to your doctor about that. It’s a good idea to stay away from OTC products like aspirin and multivitamins for a time too.

Second, give lip injections real thought. Decide how you want your lips to look, and be realistic about your expectations.

  • Rely on Your Provider for Advice

Each filler such as Restylane and Juvéderm serves a different purpose and can achieve different looks. Juvéderm gives a more voluminous look, while Restylane is more subtle. Let your provider be your guide to what will work best for you.

  • Remember Lip Filler is Temporary

Your perfect lips forever sounds great, doesn’t it? But, that isn’t the case. Lip injections are temporary, lasting about four to six months, so expect to go back for more treatments if you want to keep or update your look.

  • You May or May Not Bruise

This is going to vary for each individual. You may bruise. It may be minimal, or you might not bruise at all. Following all pre-injection and aftercare instructions will go away a long way towards minimizing bruising, as well as other side effects.
