The lips are one of the most sensitive areas of the body, so it's important to find a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in injectable treatments. An injectable anesthetic can be used first, but frosting is usually sufficient, especially since many of the most commonly used fillers, such as Restylane and Juvéderm, already contain mixed lidocaine. The injection itself feels like a splinter, but if done correctly, the pain should go away immediately. The lips may swell a little for a few hours after the procedure, but it should never be painful.
It will return to normal the next day and the swelling should completely disappear after about a week. Jaw filling may hurt not necessarily during, but later. Botox and dermal fillers are both non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments that can be risk-free when administered by aesthetic doctors with sufficient clinical experience. Dermal fillers add volume directly, stimulate the body to produce collagen, or make a combination of both.
The most common lip fillers are Volbella, Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane, all of which are hyaluronic acid fillers of different densities. Although dermal fillers aren't painful because they penetrate the skin, they can cause a small amount of discomfort. It's important to remember that all medical products have advantages and disadvantages. People with specific conditions, such as bleeding disorders or certain allergies, may not be good candidates for dermal fillers. If you are immunosuppressed or taking blood thinners, you have a higher risk of infection or bruising after the filler injection respectively.
Ultimately, this schedule varies considerably depending on the type of filler you choose, where it was injected, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. If your doctor says that dermal fillers are a possibility for you, keep in mind that placement and amount of product used will make a difference in the procedure itself and in the result. Dermal fillers can be injected into the area to soften lines that are more noticeable when you laugh or when you guess that you are smiling. Hyaluronic acid filler is on track to obtain FDA approval for the under-eye area, but is currently being used in an unauthorized way. In conclusion, injectable hyaluronic acid isn't too strong but it's important to take into account that the lips and surrounding areas can be extremely sensitive. It's critical to find an experienced board-certified dermatologist who can use an injectable anesthetic first and use the right amount of product for optimal results.
Dermal fillers can cause minimal or no side effects if done correctly and should never be painful.
