Having thicker, fuller and fuller lips like Hollywood artists is a woman's dream. So many beauty clinics offer lip filler or lip augmentation methods to get more voluminous lips. However, before carrying out a lip filler procedure, it would be nice to know in advance the various myths that are often circulating among the public and especially women. Let's reveal the facts behind it!
Myth: Silicone is what you put in your lips and make them look fuller and fuller
Fact: Lip filler procedures can use collagen, implants and hyaluronic acid . Hyaluronic acid is considered the safest and easiest to use because HA is a natural substance found in the body. In addition, HA functions to work by attracting water to the surface of the skin so that it can maintain skin moisture and elasticity.
Myth: Lip fillers are permanent or last a lifetime
Fact: Permanent lip fillers are very attractive but in reality lip fillers containing hyaluronic acid only last 6-18 months and the effect will start to decrease starting from the 6th month because hyaluronic acid will naturally be broken down in the skin. Therefore, repeated treatments are needed for long-lasting results.
Myth: Lip fillers are only for thin lips
Fact: Generally, people do lip fillers to adjust the shape of the upper and lower lips, form asymmetrical lips, remove unwanted lip corners, or just to improve the condition of dry and chapped lips.
Myth: The process is old, painful, and scary
Fact: Overall, this process only takes 15-20 minutes. First of all, the doctor will apply a topical pain reliever (anesthesia) in the area around the lips. If the area around the lips already feels numb (numb), the lip filler procedure is immediately carried out by injecting hyaluronic acid into the desired lip area.
Myth: Abstinence-free after lip filler procedures
Fact: Even though the process is short, there is one taboo that should not be violated after doing lip fillers. Patients are not advised to press or massage the area where the lip filler procedure has been performed for at least 6 hours, avoid sun exposure, do not wash your face with warm water and may not exercise or do strenuous activities for the whole day after you have had the lip filler procedure.
Those are some myths and facts about lip fillers or lip fillers. One thing to note is to choose a place with a trusted expert, don't do lip fillers at any clinic because you are tempted by the very cheap price. Get a lip filler procedure done at a professional health worker, such as Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center at EMC Sentul Hospital.
