What comes to mind when you hear the word “lip fillers”? Well, if you’re like the most of us, it’s likely an image of Reality TV stars boasting their “duck lips”. Because of these oversized, clearly unnatural lips, many people steer away from lip fillers.

There’s a misconception that injecting lips fillers will automatically transform you into a version of Donald Duck.

While it’s true that the large lips you see in the media are a result of lip fillers, it’s important to understand that they are due the unnecessary use of lip fillers. When lip fillers are used too generously, they are bound to give you oversized lips that do not look natural.

Check out these other common myths people have about lip fillers:

1) I can’t fix my lips if they turn out bad

If you don’t like what your new lips look like after the procedure, it is possible to fix them. Fillers with poly-l-lactic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite can take a couple of years to break down but those containing hyaluronic acid (HA) can be reversed with eraser enzymes. You’ll just to have to wait a few days for the swelling to reduce.

2) Lip fillers stretch your lips and deflate once the effects of the filler wear off

There’s a misconception that all fillers contain harmful chemicals. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and it simply stimulates the production of collagen. Over the course of 6 months – 2 years (depending on the size of particles in the fillers), your body’s natural enzymes will begin dissolving the fillers. The residue will thicken the outermost layer of the skin, making it appear smoother, younger and healthier.

3) Fillers are for older peopleblack & white image of a lady with sunglasses

Most fillers are used for aging but you don’t have to wait for your first laugh lines to get lip fillers. Anyone can use fillers to enhance their features.

4) People with round faces should stay away from fillers

Fillers like Restylane Lyft can be used to target specific parts of your face to define particular facial features. If you do have a round face, fillers can be used to make your cheekbones more prominent to give you a more chiselled look.

5) Fillers always look unnatural

The result of lip fillers is almost entirely dependent on the technique used. An experienced therapist will be a better judge of where the fillers need to be injected. They’ll also know how much you need.
