Lip fillers are becoming increasingly popular. As people look to enhance their natural features, they’re turning to lip filler treatments to plump up and shape the lips. One of the latest trends is called butterfly lip filler, which involves injecting filler into the cupid’s bow for a more defined look. But what is butterfly lip filler and why isn’t it the best option for achieving natural looking results? Let’s find out.

How Does Butterfly Lip Filler Work?

Butterfly lip filler targets the cupid’s bow area of the lips. This is an area that naturally contains some volume but can be enhanced further with injections of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. It can also be used to create a more pronounced shape in order to give the illusion of fuller lips. The treatment takes around 15 minutes and requires no downtime afterwards, although there may be some swelling or bruising in the days following it.
 

Why Is Butterfly Lip Filler Not Always Recommended?

Butterfly lip filler can definitely create a dramatic appearance, but it doesn’t always produce natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with the rest of your features. That’s why many doctors discourage clients from opting for this treatment. Instead, they recommend using smaller doses of dermal fillers across multiple areas of the lips for a more subtle effect. This will give you a smoother look without making your lips look overly full or unnatural.
Another downside is that it tends to wear off quickly, usually after 3-4 months. This means you will need regular top-ups in order to maintain its effects. 
All in all, butterfly lip filler is not necessarily a bad option if you want dramatic results fast. But it may not be ideal if you are looking for something less drastic and longer lasting.
