Lip Filler

Lip fillers work through various mechanisms to enhance your lips:

• Adding Volume: Lip fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts moisture, giving lips a plumper appearance. This added volume can refresh lips that have thinned over time.

• Defining Shape: Fillers can enhance the natural lip contours, creating a well-defined lip border and adding structure to the cupid’s bow or lip corners.

• Balancing Proportions: Lip fillers can help balance the upper and lower lips, creating a harmonious look tailored to complement your unique facial structure.

• Lip Volume: Add fullness to lips that have lost volume due to aging or naturally thin lips, creating a fuller and more youthful smile.

• Lip Shape and Definition: Enhance lip shape, including the cupid's bow, to achieve a more defined and attractive contour.

• Symmetry Correction: Correct slight asymmetries to achieve a more balanced and natural look.

• Lip fillers are safe when administered by a qualified professional. Common side effects are mild and may include swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. It's important to understand potential, though rare, risks:

  • Migration: Fillers can sometimes shift from the original site, leading to an unintended look.

  • Lumps or Nodules: Occasionally, small lumps or tissue clusters may form, which are typically manageable with gentle massage or follow-up care.

  • Vascular Complications: In rare cases, fillers can affect blood vessels, which may cause serious complications. This risk is minimized when fillers are administered by a skilled and experienced professional.

For those seeking more subtle lip enhancements or improved skin hydration, alternatives include Skin Boosters or hyaluronic acid lip plumpers. Dr. Ghadiri can recommend the best approach for your aesthetic goals.
