Myths about Lip Enhancement?

Dermal fillers are prescription-only treatments performed by qualified medical professionals to restore volume or enhance the shape of lips. As we age, lips may lose some fullness, which can contribute to changes in shape and definition. Dermal fillers may be used to address concerns such as:

• Correcting lip symmetry

• Enhancing the lip shape

• Defining the lip line and Cupid’s bow

• Balancing facial features

• Restoring or increasing lip volume

Myth 1: Only people with small lips should consider lip enhancement

Lip enhancement treatments can be suitable for a variety of individuals. In addition to increasing volume, they may help improve symmetry, smoothness, and hydration. People with fuller lips may also notice changes with age, such as fine lines or volume loss, which treatments can address. Different formulations and techniques are available to suit individual needs.

Myth 2: Lip enhancement is irreversible

Dermal filler treatments are temporary. The body gradually metabolizes the product over time, with effects generally lasting several months, varying by individual. If necessary, the product can be dissolved by a qualified practitioner.

Myth 3: You’re too old for lip enhancement

There is no upper age limit for dermal filler treatments. Many people choose to address age-related changes to the lips, such as loss of definition or volume. Treatments are tailored to individual needs and performed by trained professionals.

Myth 4: Lip treatments will stretch or permanently change your lips

Dermal fillers are designed to support natural volume and elasticity. After the product is metabolised, lips typically return to their original appearance. Properly administered treatments by experienced practitioners aim to maintain natural skin condition.

Myth 5: Lip enhancement looks unnatural

The appearance of lip treatments depends largely on the experience and skill of the practitioner. When performed by qualified medical professionals, the goal is to achieve a natural look that enhances your features.

Like all medical treatments, this procedure carries some risks. These include but are not limited to:

• Redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment site

• Temporary lumps or bumps under the skin

• Allergic reactions, which are rare

• Infection

• Asymmetry or uneven results

• In very rare cases, vascular complications, which require urgent medical attention
