What is Lip Filling?

Lip filling is the procedure of injecting filling into the lips according to the needs and wishes of the patient, which is performed to shape, rejuvenate or add volume to the lips.

 

How is Lip Filling Performed?

Lip filling takes about 5-10 minutes. First, the lip is anesthetized with an anesthetic cream. Afterwards, the filling material is injected in line with the patient’s wishes and needs, emphasizing the anatomical features of the lip.

 

 

What are the Points to Consider Before and After Lip Filling?

Before

The use of aspirin or similar drugs should be discontinued 5 days before the filling application.

Especially in case of herpes in the lip area, lip filling should be avoided. In case of frequent recurrent herpes, appropriate antiviral creams should be applied before and after the procedure.

Filling the infected area having an acne problem should be avoided.

Oral fillings should not be performed at the same time as dental treatments.

 

After

Very hot drinks should be avoided for 24 hours.

Hard exercises should be avoided for 24 hours.

Skin care should not be performed on the day of the filling procedure.

Do not swim in the pool for at least 2 days after the filling application.

Make-up materials and brushes should not be used for 1 day.

Kissing should be avoided for 72 hours.

How Long Does Lip Filling Take to Settle?

The result of lip filling can be noticed immediately after the procedure. Swelling, bruising and edema may occur on the lips after the procedure. This is an expected side effect. The lip shape settles within 7-10 days after lip filling.

 

How Long is Lip Filling Permanent?

Although the average permanence period in lip filling applications varies by the metabolism of the person, it is permanent for 8 to 12 months. The lifetime of the lip filling applied for the first time may be shorter. Non-permanent fillings containing hyaluronic acid used during the application are absorbed by the body over time and the lips return to their pre-procedure state.
