Types of lip augmentation shown in before and afters
Dermal fillers
One of the most common ways to plump up lips is with dermal fillers. These fillers, usually made with hyaluronic acid, are injected into the lips. The effect is temporary, lasting for a few months.
Many before and after photos show the immediate increase in lip volume that comes with fillers. The photos may feature subtle volume enhancements with Juvéderm Ultra Plus, or improvements to the curve of the Cupid’s bow using Restylane Defyne.
Lip implants
For a more permanent solution, some people opt for lip implants, such as Advanta facial implants made of ePTFE (Gore-tex). Before and after photos can illustrate the long-term changes to lip shape and volume that these implants can bring.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most natural looking lip augmentation?
Achieving natural-looking lip augmentation often comes down to technique and product choice. Using hyaluronic acid fillers, injected conservatively and strategically, tends to yield the most subtle and natural results. It’s also important to find a skilled injector who understands facial proportions and can work with your natural lip shape to enhance rather than drastically alter it.
What is the difference between lip fillers and lip augmentation?
The terms are often used interchangeably, but “lip augmentation” is the broader term encompassing any procedure to enhance lip size and shape. “Lip fillers” refer specifically to using injectable substances, typically hyaluronic acid, to achieve that augmentation. So, lip fillers are a type of lip augmentation.
Can guys feel lip fillers when kissing?
Immediately after the procedure, there might be some slight swelling or tenderness, which could be noticeable. However, once the filler settles and the swelling subsides (usually within a week or two), lip fillers should feel very natural. A partner likely won’t be able to detect them during kissing, especially with smaller amounts of filler.
How long does lip augmentation last?
The longevity of lip augmentation varies depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months. Some patients find they need a touch-up after 6 months to maintain their desired volume, while others can go a full year before needing another treatment.
In Conclusion
Before-and-after photos are an important part of the lip augmentation process. They can show you what’s possible and help you decide what kind of result you want.
To make sure you get the best possible outcome, talk with a qualified professional. A nurse injector can assess your needs and goals and develop a treatment plan that’s right for you. Keep in mind that results vary, and if you want to enhance your entire face, you might consider full-face rejuvenation.
