What are lip fillers made of?
“Most practitioners use a Collagen or Hyaluronic Acid (HA) based filler which is injected into the lip, to increase volume and size. Collagen works purely by plumping the lip whilst the hyaluronic acid fillers work by not only plumping the lip directly but also trapping water within lips for a natural, plump pout.
Alanya Euromed Aesthetic uses Juvederm and Teosyal are that the best of all?
“There are several types of filler on the market. For us Allergan and Teoxane are best companies of the world. Forthere we have been using these two products.But what people fail to realise is that there are several types of fillers within the juvederm and Teoxane range all with different properties. For lips the best two are from the juvederm vycross range: juvederm vobella for very subtle lips and juvederm volift for a more noticeable but still natural enhancement. And Teosyal RHA 3. “
How much filler do you need?
“One of the biggest things people often don’t realise with lip augmentation is that achieving the look you want won’t necessarily happen overnight. If you have very thin lips and want to achieve a very full but natural look, this can take a few sessions and therefore be more expensive.They key is building layers in stages and I personally do this with my microdroplet linear injection technique which allows me to build a whole new lip for the patient in terms of size and shape over time.
Does it hurt?
“Depending on who carries out the procedure, the pain can vary. Personally, we choose to use a local anestetic creem before lip augmentation so my patients don’t feel a thing. “
How long do they last?
This varies on the substance used and the age of the patient. On average most people need top ups every 12 to 18 months routinely to keep up the desired size.
Do they feel different to natural lips?
“When done properly, lip fillers shouldn’t feel any different from natural lips
Are the results instant?
“Straight after the procedure, your lips will be slightly swollen. Our doctor advise patients to ice their lips at first and take arnica creem to prevent bruising. After around 48 hours the swelling will have settled and you can see the final result”
What are the chances of lip fillers going wrong?
“This varies with what substance is used but it’s also vary rare. Most doctors have switched to the HA fillers as they last longer than most collagen fillers.There can be between a 1- 3 % allergic reaction with collagen skin treatments but it is extremely rare with hyaluronic acid fillers.”Our Doctor Aydogan Yigit has never seen any serious complication in more than thousands lip augmentation.
Can you get the filler taken out if you just don’t like it?
“One advantage of HA acid fillers over the collagen fillers is that they can be removed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase even before they naturally dissolve. So if errors do occur these can be quickly corrected.”
