The first image that comes to mind when people hear the words ‘lip fillers’ are duck lips. All it takes for people to shy away from lip injections and fillers is one bad and over-the-top lip filler treatment seen in real life or on TV.

What if we were to tell you how amazing lip filler treatment can be and how much you’re missing out on by saying all lip filler procedures give the same ‘duck lip’ results?

A lot of stigma still surrounds cosmetic procedures (even non-invasive ones) despite the advancements made in the field of cosmetic work and dermatology. Perhaps it’s time to address misconceptions that people have regarding lip fillers and injections, one at a time.

Myth #1: Lip Fillers Stretch Your Lips Out

A common misconception regarding application of lip fillers is that people have to continue getting the treatment once they start or else the lips will deflate and sag. This is simply untrue and based on a lot of misinformation!

Yes, you will have to continue getting the treatment every few years in order to retain the results but you can stop cold turkey anytime without experiencing any side-effects!

Here’s why: Collagen production is increased by injecting hyaluronic acid (which is a naturally occurring substance in our body) into the skin. Over the next six months to two years, or body’s natural enzymes begin to dissolve the filler but leave a slightly thickened and healthy dermis layer.

Myth #2: Any Lip Filler Product Can Be Used

Again, this is absolutely untrue. There are certain products that shouldn’t be applied on the lips or other sensitive areas on the face. Permanent or longer acting fillers (silicone or fat transfer) while effective in other areas of the body shouldn’t be injected on the lips!

The best lip fillers used by cosmetic treatment clinics in London are HA fillers such as Restylane, Belotero, and Juvederm. These fillers are safe to use and their results can be reversed.

Myth #3: Lip Filler Injections Give an Unnatural Look

Search”celebrity lip fillers” on the internet and you’ll be bombarded with pictures upon pictures of over-injected celebrities. These bad lip filler procedures are enough to make anyone stay away from a needle or syringe!

The truth is people won’t know you have had lip fillers done. Dermal fillers are designed to provide natural looking results that can change your entire facial look! A trained practitioner will be able to easily provide the results you want – a subtle hint of shape and volume to your lips.

Another myth is that people with thin lips generally prefer getting lip fillers. Yes, the most common use for dermal fillers is plumping out thin lips yet there are a lot of other uses for lip fillers.
