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 ideal for those seeking enhanced lip volume, definition, or symmetry. If you’re seeking subtle enhancements or changes to your lips, you might be a suitable candidate for lip fillers. However, it’s essential to undergo a thorough assessment during your consultation to accurately determine your eligibility. This evaluation typically includes examining your overall health, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your aesthetic objectives to ensure lip fillers align with 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?

These fillers add fullness and smooth out wrinkles around the mouth caused by collagen loss, especially the vertical lines above the upper lip. Additionally, if your lips lack symmetry due to aging or natural unevenness, these injections can restore balance, rejuvenating your overall lip appearance.

During the consultation, we will discuss your expectations and what can realistically be achieved based on your goals and the amount of filler recommended. Results typically last several months to over a year, depending on the filler and your body’s metabolism. One of the greatest benefits of dermal lip fillers is that they are customizable, and our patients can decide on a treatment-to-treatment basis if they wish to continue or try something new.

It is important to have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of the treatment. Ultimately, the decision regarding candidacy for lip fillers is a collaborative process between you and our dedicated team at the Aesthetics Associates Centre.

What Should I Expect From My Treatment?

As a part of our MedSpa services, we offer three different dermal fillers. All are FDA-approved, cruelty-free dermal fillers, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®. Each filler offers slightly different results. We will review your goals at your consultation and determine which filler works best for you.

Lip filler treatments are relatively quick and minimally invasive. Our team will assess your upper and lower lips during your initial consultation to determine the best approach. Before starting, we will discuss the process, including the type of filler used and any numbing options available for comfort. Most patients resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Thanks to the treatment’s customization, the degree of plumping is adjustable, making lip injections preferable to surgical methods for some individuals. Every patient is unique, so a personalized consultation is essential to determine your suitability for lip filler treatments. It allows us to address specific concerns, set realistic expectations, and create a customized plan to achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
