Lip Enhancement
Lips that are full and youthful-looking will never go out of style, but the natural process of aging can cause them to appear thin and lined. Your lips can have a more natural appearance while still appearing full and smooth if you work with a qualified cosmetic surgeon like Katie Swanick, who is trained in a variety of lip enhancement treatments.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment that allows you to define, reshape and plump your lips in minutes, and that too, at a more manageable cost than surgical procedures. Examples of these fillers include products manufactured by Restylane. The results of lip enhancements are smooth and natural-looking, lasting anywhere from four to twelve months when they are applied by a qualified medical professional. Fillers can increase lip volume, improve lip shape, and smooth vertical lip lines. The effects of fillers vary depending on the product (perioral rhytids).
Lips can make or break your entire look. Your lips are unique, and that’s why a consultation is vital. A personalized treatment plan will be developed with your desired shape in mind. You may need multiple sittings to achieve the desired look. Products include Restylane and Versa.
How long will it last?
The amount of time it takes for the body to reabsorb HA lip fillers depends on the patient’s age, their metabolism, the amount of exercise they frequently do, the normal blood flow to the face, and whether or not they smoke. On average, this process takes between six and nine months. For instance, younger people have a faster metabolism and higher blood flow to the face; as a result, the filler that is used on them may only last at the lower end of the usual scale and break down more easily than it would in an older patient. Other face locations are not as mobile as the mouth, and as a result, fillers in these areas do not break down quite as quickly as fillers in the mouth. This allows other facial dermal fillers to have a longer shelf life.
