First thing’s first.
What Are Lip Injections?
Lip injections are a cosmetic procedure used to increase fullness in the lips by using injectable fillers like hyaluronic acid, fat, or implants. Hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the body—is the most common type of filler used to get a plumper pout. The type of filler chosen depends entirely on what your goal is for the treatment, whether it be to balance out the shape of your lips or add fullness or structure.
What Are The Benefits of Lip Injections
Today it is possible to completely change the shape and size of your lips with the help of a treatment that uses lip injections containing lip fillers. The cosmetic procedure gives you an improved lip structure and redefines the mouth contours. One of the biggest advantages of a lip injection procedure is that you get instant results and can enjoy complete control over the extent to which you wish to change the appearance of your lips.
Please find a list of crucial benefits of lip injections:
- Improved Appearance - With fuller lips, you are likely to look younger and this can ultimately boost your self-esteem in social and professional setups.
- Naturally, Fuller Lips - Products such as Juvederm fillers are excellent at achieving an extremely natural look since they contain hyaluronic acid. There is a natural absorption of the filler in the body and the fullness of the lips can be maintained with replacement after approximately every 6 months.
- Takes Care Of Aging Signs - With lip injections, you have naturally fuller lips and this fullness helps tighten the skin around your lips. Hence, your mouth looks firmer and more youthful because wrinkles and fines lines are reduced.
- Minimal Side Effects - Cosmetologists inform that hyaluronic acid fillers rarely cause any side effects and/or allergic reactions in patients. However, it is critical for a candidate to disclose any existing allergies and medications during the initial appointment with the clinician.
- Added Advantage Over Lip Implants - While lip implants offer absolutely permanent results, this is not the case with lip injections. The effects of these lip injections will last for about six months and then you would require another session to retain the volume and shape of your new lips. This basically implies that you have the choice now to “experiment” with your new look.
- Customizing the Treatment on the basis of your needs - For instance, you might decide to plump up or redefine only the lower lip or add volume to only one specific lip area. You can discuss a variety of different treatment options when working with a trained and experienced injector and get the best results.
What’s The Difference Between Lip Fillers & Lip Injections?
Well to put it simply, lip injections are the procedures conducted to help plump the lips. Whereas Lip Fillers are the product that is used to inject into the lips in order to initiate the plumping process.
Lip Augmentation: The Basics Of The Process
Lip augmentation is aimed at improving the appearance of lips, through the use of cosmetic surgery or non-surgical techniques. Lip enlargement is recommended for people having thin lips by birth, who want to enhance the beauty of their face by lip enhancement.
The commonest and safest method of lip enhancement nowadays is using the hyaluronic acid dermal filler injections like Juvederm and Restylane (lip filler injections). These dermal fillers are made artificially using genetic engineering, so there is no scope of allergic reactions. Also, since these are made of hyaluronic acid (hyaluronic acid is the basic sub-unit of collagen, which naturally forms our lips), they feel and look completely natural in your lips. Juvederm and Restylane both behave predictably and can be used to plump and contour the lips easily. These lip fillers are minimally invasive, such that post Juvederm or Restylane treatment, you cannot even tell the next day that a procedure has been performed. Most importantly, both Juvederm & Restylane (and other hyaluronic acid filler injections like Esthelis and Perlane) are completely reversible - If you do not like your lips post the procedure, a small injection of another material called hyluronidasecan completely dissolve the lip fillers in your lips, within minutes.
Recovery After The Augmentation Process
Recovery, after injection, may take a maximum of 1 - 2 days. Usually hours are enough for recovery. For lip implants, the recovery time is 1-2 weeks; drooling and temporary stiffness of the lips may be experienced during the recovery period.
What is The Cost of Lip Augmentation in India?
Such treatment's cost ranges from Rs.15,000 to Rs.60,000. "One can see the effect just after two and three days of treatment; so it's advisable to start the procedure at least a week before the D-day. The effect lasts up to four-six months. Normally, fillers like juvederm costs Rs.25,000 per syringe. However, treatments like cheek augmentation cost Rs.50,000 to Rs.60,000. Botox costs Rs.400 per unit and the treatment cost ranges from Rs.15,000 to Rs.25,000.
Finally, Is Lip Augmentation Really Worth It?
Well, this again is a very controversial topic, as it different for different people. But we believe you need to know the side effects of Lip Augmentation first before you get into it.
Side effects depend on the person and the peculiarities of his/her body. But they usually don't last long, not more than a few days. The common side effects after lip injections are:
- Tumor or bruising;
- Redness and increased sensitivity in the injected areas;
- Slight bleeding at the injections' site.
Sometimes, side effects can be more serious. If you notice at least one of them, get in touch with your doctor immediately:
- Lip asymmetry (some parts of the lip are bigger than others);
- Lumps in the lips;
- Ongoing swelling and bruising (lasting from one week and more);
- Ulceration or stiffening of the lips;
- Allergic reaction (include itching, redness, or swelling).
At the end of the day it’s about you feeling content with yourself. If you believe that getting this procedure done will boost your self-confidence then we say go for it. On the other hand, if you think that the risks of the procedure far outweigh the rewards then we’d advise you not to.
