According to pharmacist and advanced esthetician Louise Keizer, a procedure performed with hyaluronic acid can hydrate, protrude and define the mouth.

“Some women have a kind of “barcode” around their mouth and as they age, the lips become thinner. This is where fillers come to the rescue to increase beauty, ”says the specialist. She also cautions that this is more indicated when the patient has some lip asymmetry.

Does lip filler hurt?

The procedure is carried out through an anesthesia block, in which the patient does not feel pain. In addition, an anesthetic ointment can be applied to the lips.

These fillers contain lidocaine, an anesthetic that, when the filler is injected, anesthetizes the surrounding tissue,” he explains.

In the first 15 or 20 days after application, there may be swelling due to the adaptation time of the hyaluronic acid inside the lips, but soon it adheres to the tissue, shaping itself according to movement.

after finishing

According to the specialist, swelling is usually observed until the substance stabilizes. Those who have herpes should be aware that the sores are obvious during the procedure. “This is because we are going to go in and touch this tissue,” he explains.

She also says that there is a special medicine to prevent breakouts during a filling.

Duration

The mouth is extremely functional. During the procedure, it is necessary to maintain the mobility and functionality of the organ. It is worth remembering that the product must be of good quality and have an Anvisa certificate. “In fact, the quality of the product used can affect the longevity of a procedure,” she says.

The expert explains that lip filling can last 10 to 12 months and needs to be reapplied when the effect wears off.
