Lip augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, more voluminous lips. For the first lip augmentation, results can last from 4 to 6 months, but some can last up to 9 months. Variability comes from the chosen hyaluronic acid (HA) filling product and the amount injected. After 12 to 24 hours, the pain should go away and the swelling should subside after 24 to 48 hours, although it may take up to a week.
Generally, lip fillers last between 6 and 12 months as HA fillers naturally dissolve over time, causing a gradual decrease in volume. Most people choose to see their doctor once or twice a year to keep their lips looking fuller and younger. Initially, there may be some swelling that can last up to three days, but most people experience a decrease in swelling after the first day. It is best to wait to eat until the injection of the topical anesthetic or nerve block has disappeared so as not to accidentally bite your lips or alter the filling.
After a week, any uneven texture should melt away and your lips will look natural again. Regarding the duration of lip fillers, it depends on the amount injected, your metabolism, the desired volume and the product used, but you can generally wait between six months and three years on average. Scientists have discovered that hyaluronic acid injections cause the skin to produce more collagen, creating more natural volume in the lips. To avoid a failed job, only consult a board-certified professional such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience in lip injections. Lip injections are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure” and it lives up to expectations. You can get fuller lips in just one session with minimal pain and downtime.
At this point, you're likely to know someone who's tried lip filler and social media is full of perfectly plump lips. To be honest, lip injections have always been on my list of beauty treatments I would love to try in theory, but that I never really move on. Now that cosmetic injections are at an all-time high (the Zoom effect is very real, people) and everyone and their mother seem to be trying the filler, I've started to stick to the idea of getting fuller lips. I don't feel like they really change my relationship with my face that drastically, but I've been enjoying my modestly made up lips - they wear any lip color as a dream and they also look really good naked.
