Lip Filling

Not only for you who dream of having full lips, but for patients who, despite  having had dental implants or dental prostheses, were not successful in  filling the face and presented what we popularly call "withered mouth".

H oday there is lip filling, leaving the largest lábrios and better delineated.  However, if your purpose is to soften the wrinkles that appear in the region  around the mouth, this is also the indicated procedure. However, there are many  truths and myths about lip filling that make people wary  about the procedure.

One of the biggest myths about the lip procedure is that the botulinum toxin, the same one used to smooth out wrinkles on the forehead and eyes, would be used to increase the volume of the lips. The effect caused by this substance in the oral region is to soften the wrinkles around the mouth and not to make the lips more voluminous. However, it can only be applied in this region in small amounts and with  great caution, as there are some side effects unpleasantness can arise.

Another myth that lip filling is always artificial, visually. This is a big lie as long as the treatment is done with the correct filler. Today we use hyaluronic acid with intermediate viscosity. This substance, in addition to eliminating some expression lines, attracts water molecules that induce the formation of the patient's own collagen. Thus, hydration and local support will be more consistent. As the action of hyaluronic acid is temporary, the lip filling made with these substances needs periodic maintenance, usually every 12 months.

One truth is that permanent fillers should be avoided, as they  can cause some disastrous side effects like granulomas, which are  hardened lumps on the lips and an artificial result.  The lip filling with definitive substances is made with synthetic material.  Therefore, it is true that, after surgery, swelling or bruises may occur  in the region where it was applied. In addition, redness and a feeling of numbness may occur  due to local anesthesia.  These are some truths and myths about lip filling.
