Lip filler application is undoubtedly one of the most commonly performed aesthetic procedures. Full and naturally contoured lips contribute to a youthful and attractive appearance, which is desired by many individuals. However, as the skin ages, the lips tend to thin, roll inward, and lose volume. Lip fillers typically contain hyaluronic acid — a naturally occurring substance in the body — which restores the lips’ natural structure and enhances their fullness. Additionally, fillers help improve lip shape, correct asymmetry, and reduce fine lines or “barcode lines” around the mouth area.
The lip filler procedure is simple and minimally invasive. To ensure comfort during the injections, a topical anesthetic or local numbing agent is usually applied to the lips beforehand. The filler is then carefully injected into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired contour and volume. The procedure generally takes less than an hour, and most patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
