Lip Fillers Specialist in Altamonte Springs, FL

Lip fillers are injections that are administered directly into your lips to provide volume, allowing the lips to appear more full and plump. They are considered a type of dermal filler and are typically contain hyaluronic acid which is naturally produced in our bodies. Some common brand names for hyaluronic acid lip fillers include Juvederm®, Restylane® and Perlane®. There are a few different types of lip fillers that are less commonly used today, such as collagen fillers and fat injection fillers, but they are not as safe and effective as hyaluronic acid has proven to be for this particular cosmetic procedure. Some specific benefits for using hyaluronic acid lip fillers include more control over the volume added to the lips, the volume can be added gradually to ensure that the patient is happy with the results, there is minimal bruising, and they offer longer-lasting results.

Lip fillers have grown in popularity due to their quick and natural results. They are able to significantly improve the shape, structure, and volume of the lips without the need for a surgical procedure. Anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their lips can choose to receive lip fillers and get as natural or dramatic a look as they would like. Our faces are one of the first things that people will notice about us, so if you are insecure about the appearance of your lips, lip fillers can drastically improve your confidence and self-esteem through even just a minor change in their appearance. Additionally, as we age, our lips lose some volume and shape, so lip fillers are also commonly used to help reverse the appearance of aging.

The lip flip process consists of just injecting Botox into your upper lip to offer a “poutier” look without adding extra volume to the actual lip itself. This treatment is much more subtle than lip fillers as it only emphasizes the top lip, so it appears a bit more subtle. Lip fillers can end up providing a much more dramatic look as the fillers are added anywhere in the lips that you and the filler provider decide would offer the appearance you are hoping for. The results from lip flips will also not last as long as those from lip fillers. Many people who aren’t sure if they are ready to commit to the results of lip fillers will opt to get a lip flip to start out to ensure they will be pleased with results provided from cosmetic procedures.

Lip fillers are not permanent, but they do provide longer-lasting results than many other injectable cosmetic procedures. Depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the filler that has been injected, the speed at which the results start to slowly fade can take place anywhere from 6 to 8 months. After around 12 to 18 months, your lips may return back to their original shape and size. The fillers do get metabolized fairly evenly by your body, so you do not need to worry about any unevenness or malformation as they gradually lose volume and shape. Because of the gradual fading of desired results, many people will opt to schedule routine maintenance treatments to ensure that their desired results persist and do not fade entirely.
