Are You A Candidate for Lip Filler?

Lip filler treatments have become increasingly popular as a non-surgical treatment option. They have gained more attention thanks to their ability to redefine and augment the lips’ shape, size, and symmetry. Certain factors, such as aging, reduced collagen production, and decreased skin elasticity, can result in volume loss, which is especially noticeable in the lips and facial hollows. If you’ve noticed these changes and are considering enhancing your lips’ appearance, lip injections could be a solution to restore lost volume. At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we will determine if you’re a good candidate for lip filler. Determining your candidacy involves assessing several factors to ensure lip fillers are the right choice for you.

Are You a Good Candidate for Lip Filler?

Lip fillers are perfect to enhance your lip volume, definition, or symmetry. If you’re considering subtle changes to your lips, you might be a great candidate for lip fillers. However, it’s important to have a thorough consultation to determine if they’re right for you. During this assessment, we’ll look at your overall health, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals to make sure lip fillers meet your needs and expectations.

Candidates should generally be in good health without conditions that could interfere with the procedure or healing process. Health factors like smoking, diabetes, autoimmune diseases such as lupus, blood-clotting issues, and cold sores can impact the outcomes of lip filler treatments. Smoking can also affect blood clotting, potentially leading to uneven results, while diabetes might slow down healing post-procedure. We also consider factors such as allergies, previous filler reactions, or ongoing medications that patients might be taking.

Can I Achieve My Desired Look With Lip Fillers?

As a part of our MedSpa services, we offer three different dermal fillers. All are FDA-approved, cruelty-free dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®.  Both are hyaluronic acid fillers known for providing natural-looking volume and fullness.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by your body, allowing these fillers to integrate seamlessly into your tissue. When injected, they add immediate volume and smoothness, creating a fuller and more defined look. These fillers are excellent for correcting asymmetries and defining the borders of your mouth, giving you a more aesthetically pleasing shape. The smooth, malleable gel allows for precise injections, sculpting, and contouring to your desired appearance.

In addition to enhancing volume and shape, hyaluronic acid fillers can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, providing a more youthful look. The hydrating properties of these fillers also help temporarily reduce perioral lines, which are the fine lines that appear around the lips.

One of the best advantages of dermal lip fillers is their customizability. At each treatment, you can decide whether to continue or try something new. However, it is also important to have realistic expectations about the results. We’ll be here to guide you through the process. Deciding if lip fillers are right for you is a collaborative effort between you and our dedicated team at the Aesthetics Associates Centre.

What Should I Expect From My Treatment?

Lip filler treatments are quick and minimally invasive. During your initial consultation, our team will carefully assess your upper and lower lips to determine the best approach tailored to your needs. We’ll then discuss the entire process with you, including the type of filler we recommend and any numbing options available to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

One of the great advantages of lip filler treatments is that most patients can resume their daily activities immediately afterward. Whether you’re heading back to work, meeting friends, or just continuing with your day, you’ll find that the procedure fits easily into your schedule.

Thanks to the customizable nature of the treatment, the degree of plumping with lip injections can be adjusted to your preference. Every patient is unique, so a personalized consultation is essential to determine if lip filler treatments are right for you. During this consultation, we can address your specific concerns, set realistic expectations, and create a customized plan to achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
