One of the most used methods for fighting wrinkles is using dermal fillers. The fillers are injected into the patient’s skin to plump up the wrinkled skin which in turn removes the wrinkle. But now, people with no wrinkles are also using dermal fillers, but in a different part of the body. They are using it as lip fillers to make their lips voluptuous and large like some of the style icons in the world.
So if you are not satisfied with the shape of your lip and want to have the pouty lips like those of Angelina Jolie, then you can start by consulting with a good plastic surgeon as only medical practitioners are allowed to inject dermal lip fillers. You should never try to do it yourself or allow an untrained person to carry out the procedure. This is important because the problems if anything goes wrong are quite severe; wrongful injection can lead to blood pooling, negative cosmetic outcomes as well as hematomas which are collection of blood within tissues which can lead to surgery in many cases. So here are the three steps you need to follow to make your lips plumper and beautiful with help of fillers.
First of all, get appointment with a good plastic surgeon for learning about the procedure. You can ask your friends who have undergone this procedure or look in your local newspaper. Be sure to discuss about the different choices for dermal lip fillers that are used in this beauty treatment. It can be fat transfers or human-based collagen. The price vary between these two; it is around $350 for collagen while $4,500 for fat transfer per session, according to the Consumer Guide for Plastic Surgery. These prices are the prevalent market price for these two types of fillers around November 2010.
After you have decided which lip filler to go for, discuss with your doctor/plastic surgeon regarding how many sessions you will need to get that pair of lips you have always dreamt about. It is a common practice to overfill the lips in the beginning as about 40% collagen or fat will disperse after the treatment. As the number of sessions increase, so will be the percentage of fat or collagen retention on the lips, as American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery reports.
The last step to getting dermal lip fillers for your lips is the actual process. On your appointed date, arrive at the clinic and the lip filler will be injected by the doctor to your lips. This process may take about an hour and you will need to rest at least few days after the procedure. The recovery time differs according to the individual’s reaction to the process; some may have sore lips while others puffy lips or both. So be sure you have some days of rest on your hand when you undergo this procedure to get a pair of beautiful lips which will be admired by all.
