F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lip Augmentation.
What care should be taken after lip augmentation?
After lip augmentation, it is important to follow these recommendations:
Apply ice to the lips to reduce swelling.
Sleep with your head elevated.
Avoid touching your lips with dirty hands.
Do not wear makeup on your lips for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid direct sun exposure.
What does the lip augmentation procedure involve?
Lip augmentation is a non-surgical procedure performed by injecting hyaluronic acid, a safe and reabsorbable substance. It is carefully applied at strategic points to improve volume, shape, symmetry, and definition. It is quick, outpatient, and does not require general anesthesia, although topical anesthesia can be used for greater comfort. The procedure lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.
How long do the results of lip augmentation last?
The results usually last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the patient’s metabolism, the type of product used, and aftercare. Over time, the body naturally reabsorbs the hyaluronic acid, so periodic touch-ups are recommended to maintain the desired volume. Good hydration, avoiding smoking, and protecting the lips from the sun help prolong the effect.
Does the lip augmentation procedure hurt?
The procedure is well-tolerated by most patients. An anesthetic cream is applied to the area or, in some cases, the product itself contains lidocaine to reduce discomfort. You may feel slight pressure or small pinpricks, but it is not painful. Upon completion, there may be mild swelling or redness, which disappears within a few hours or days.
What care should I take after lip augmentation?
After the procedure, it is advisable to avoid touching your lips, sun exposure, wearing makeup, or engaging in intense physical activity for the first 24 to 48 hours. It is also suggested to avoid very hot or very cold foods, as well as alcohol. Applying local cold can help reduce inflammation. The doctor will provide a personalized post-treatment guide.
Can lip augmentation look artificial or exaggerated?
When the procedure is performed by a trained specialist with aesthetic judgment, the results are completely natural. The key is to use the right amount of product and apply the correct technique to maintain facial harmony. During the consultation, the shape of the lips and the proportions of the face are analyzed to achieve a balanced and elegant result.
