Curious about lip filler but unsure where to start? You’re not alone! In this post, we’re tackling some of the most common questions surrounding lip filler to provide you what you need to know for an informed decision. Whether you’re wondering about the procedure, the results, or the recovery process, consider this your go-to resource for all things lip filler.
One of the most frequently asked questions about lip filler is regarding the procedure itself. How long does it take? Does it hurt? Fortunately, lip filler injections are typically quick and the filler used has lidocaine which also adds to the reduction of discomfort. Most sessions last around 30 minutes and minimal discomfort thanks in part to the use of topical numbing cream. After the injections, you may experience swelling or bruising, but these side effects are temporary and can be easily managed with proper care.
Another common concern among potential lip filler patients is the longevity of the results. How long do lip fillers last? While individual results may vary, most patients can expect their lip filler enhancements to last anywhere from 6 to 12 months or even longer depending on how fast your body metabolizes the filler. With regular maintenance sessions, you can enjoy beautiful, full lips year-round without the need for constant upkeep.
