The Beverly Hills Guide to Lip Fillers | Dr. Jonathan Sykes

https://drjonathansykes.com/ -- Having full pouty lips is all the rage, today. If you look on the internet, women want to make their lips look full, pouty, and even sexy. Lip fillers can be a safe and easy way to enhance the perioral appearance. The viewer likes a youthful lip, without wrinkles in the skin. As we age, our lips tend to thin out and develop wrinkles and creases on the white lip portion. The corners of the mouth may gradually start to turn downward. This can create the appearance of a perpetual frown, and the diminished volume of the lips themselves only adds to the fatigued-looking effect. If you’re considering lip fillers, here’s a quick guide. FULL ARTICLE: https://drjonathansykes.com/lip-fille... What Are Lip Fillers? Lip fillers are injectable agents that are administered into and around the lips to make them appear attractively full and lifted. Most modern lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the body and is thus well-tolerated by patients. In the early days of cosmetic lip augmentation, silicone and collagen were commonly used, but these methods are now less sought-after due to a higher incidence of complications. Fat transfer lip augmentation is another option for patients who want added lip volume that lasts longer than synthetic fillers. And while botulinum toxin is not technically a filler, it is often used as an adjunct to injectable fillers, to evert or turn “up” the lip, and make it look more youthful. Using botulinum toxin, just above the red lip, a so-called “lip flip”, and this procedure has gotten very popular. The lip flip has the advantage of everting the red lip, while simultaneously diminishing the wrinkles adjacent to the lip. While lip fillers themselves work to enlarge a person’s pout, studies have also shown that getting certain types of injectable fillers actually helps the body produce more of its own natural collagen, keeping the lips more naturally volumized and preventing further wrinkling and sagging. In our practice, we have seen cases where people need lip injections less and less over time to maintain their desired look. What Are the Different Types of Lip Fillers? The most common injectable fillers used in and around the lips are: Juvederm Restylane Belotero Voluma All of these injectable fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid. The great thing about hyaluronic acid is that most of these substances draw in a little bit of water, which is great for plumping the lip. The other main advantage is that hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed with a substance called hyaluronidase, which can eradicate a lump or bump that may be a consequence of the filler injection. Lips can also be augmented using a person’s own fat. In fat transfer lip injections, fat is harvested from another area of the patient’s body — usually the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks — and then injected into the lips. Patients may select this option when they want increased lip volume with longer-lasting results, or when they desire augmentation in a variety of areas of the face. In this case, fat can be a great volumizing substance in many facial regions. How Long Does Lip Filler Last? Most filler agents last approximately six months. Although, some augmentation can be present for up to a year. How much does it cost to get lip injections? The cost of lip filler injections is variable, relating to the product used, and the injector’s cost to inject the product. As a general rule, the augmentation of the lip costs between $500-800 for a single syringe of iller. It can be noted that one syringe of filler is the most common amount used for a given lip filler injection. Full ARTICLE: https://drjonathansykes.com/lip-fille... Have Questions?
