Q: My lips are thin and I am considering having them plumped up with filler; thoughts?
A: Filler is a great way to enhance lips on either the top, bottom or both. The key is to take a conservative approach and to not overdo it. Make sure you select a well-trained physician or injector with lots of experience.
Fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a clear gel that is soft and pliable. Hyaluronic acid is a compound found naturally in our body so it is extremely safe. Lip injections actually don’t hurt due to the fact that lidocaine, a numbing agent, is mixed into the syringe. You feel a little pinch, but that is it.
Your lips will look totally natural and the only person who will know you have ad filler is you! (Unless you tell them.) The
effect will last six to eighteen months and will wear off gradually. Don’t be afraid to it a try; the key is a conservative approach. The results can be stunning!
