If you’re in search of a plumper pout, perhaps you’ve considered lip fillers. Although it’s a very common procedure, with many benefits, the thought of lips fillers sometimes can scare people into not going ahead with them. There are so many horror stories about procedures gone wrong, but a lot of the time, the mistakes are easily avoided. Here at Enhanced Aesthetics, we can tell you everything you need to know about lip fillers.

What are lip fillers?

For those of us who are keen on controlling the fullness of our lips, lip fillers are an option. Usually, an injectable dermal filler is the most common lip augmentation. These mostly contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body that helps to create volume in the area in question. When it is injected, the gel in the filter supports and shapes the tissue in the lips. While things such as collagen, fat injections and implants were previously the main methods of lip plumping, today they have been kicked to the curb because of the risk of side effects.

Benefits

1. You have full control over your lip volume and YOU decide how your face looks.
2. Treatments are very gradual so the perfect results can be created.
3. Hyaluronic acid causes less bruising and allows for bumps to dissolve easily in comparison to other filers.
4. Your results will be reasonably long lasting but not permanent. Our treatments last up to nine months.
5. Hyaluronic acid can be found within the body, so it is unlikely that you will have an allergic reaction.

Is it comfortable?

At Enhanced Aesthetics, all efforts are made to ensure a pleasant experience.  The use of local anaesthetic in the delivery of lip fillers provides a pain-free delivery. The procedure itself is very quick, and you can expect little to no downtime. After you have healed, you can expect your lips to feel natural.

Common Side Effects

In the immediate aftermath of your procedure, you might experience redness and bleeding from the injection sites, swelling and bruising, and perhaps cold sores around the lips. These will not last more than a few days, so don’t worry.

Before you get your lips filled, it is vital to consider who you want your injector to be. They must be experienced and well informed. It’s important to do your research prior to making an appointment. Here at Enhanced Aesthetics, we can tell you everything you need to know about lip fillers, and more!
