The quest for luscious, full lips leads many people to a cosmetic treatment clinic. Safe and effective, injectable fillers can naturally plump up thin lips and reduce the signs of aging. Before you go there, here are the Dos and Don'ts for perfect lips.
Do
* Research, research, research! A cosmetic procedure can be a great way to gain confidence. If you understand the benefits and limitations of lip enhancement, you are more likely to see satisfying results. Take the time to learn about the different types of lip fillers and ask the doctor about typical results.
* Find examples of the look you want, but be realistic about your expectations. Every face is unique, so the perfect lips of your favorite celebrity or model may not suit you. Go for balance.
* Go to an experienced specialist. Although lip enhancement treatment is a simple procedure, it does not mean that everyone has the necessary expertise. It is important to consult a knowledgeable medical professional who is properly trained to handle the product.
* Gently put ice on your lips after injections. You can help reduce bruising and swelling by applying a cold pack to your lips. Don't forget to keep a light touch!
* Relax! The best thing you can do after each treatment to make it easy.
Don't
* Planning an important event too soon after the injection. It will take a few days for the swelling to disappear after the injection. Mild bruising may also occur. If you have to be perfect, give yourself some time.
* Take certain medicines before your appointment. Aspirin, some vitamins, and blood-thinning medications can increase your risk of bruising. Consult your cosmetic doctor beforehand to ensure that you are best prepared for the treatment.
* Overdoing the injections. While a skilled doctor will be able to accurately determine how much filler is needed to achieve the best results, you won't see definitive results right away. After an injection, the lips are usually swollen. Wait for the first swelling to disappear before going for another injection.
* Rubbing your lips after the treatment. Fillers are gel products, which can be unevenly distributed if disturbed. For more consistent and even results, avoid touching your lips for the first few days afterward.
* Exercising too much or spending time in the sun in the sun. Exercising and excessive heat can increase blood flow, which can lead to more swelling. You can return to most of your normal activities immediately after your treatment, but it is best not to do too much. Consult the doctor for aftercare.
