Lip fillers and botox therapies constitute an integral part of the aesthetic world landscape. Globally, there has been a surge in lip enhancement procedures owing to the ease of accessibility of these treatments, and our innate inclination to refine our appearance.
In this piece, we will shed light on the two most common botox Dubai and lip filler procedures to improve the shape of our lips, while also revealing the best aesthetic clinic in Dubai to get the procedures done.
But first, let’s talk about lip fillers.
What are Lip Fillers?
Broadly categorized as dermal fillers, a lip filler contains a substance called hyaluronic acid, which helps add volume and plumpness to your face, while reducing wrinkles. For best results, lip fillers should be done at least once every year. They are perfectly safe and approved by the leading drug regulatory authorities globally.
The best part is, lip filler sessions don’t cost you an arm and leg; you will be spending roughly AED 500 per session, inclusive of the consultation. However, the cost could balloon depending on the no. of injections, the complexity of the injection site, etc.
What Happens when you Stop taking Lip Filler Sessions?
Since they are not a permanent fix, once you stop taking lip fillers, your lips will return to their original shape. If you’ve been using lip fillers for a long time, you should be aware that they’ve been masking the aging process in your lips. This implies that if the fillers are removed, your lips may not appear the same as they did before. Having said that, lip fillers will not hasten the aging process or strain your natural lip tissue as long as they’re not overfilled.
Benefits of Lip Fillers
Some key benefits of lip fillers are:
- Swift, safe, and efficient treatment
- Long-lasting, reversible results
- Highly adaptable and accurate
- Enhances lip volume, shape, symmetry, and contour
- Addresses symptoms of aging around the lips, including lines and wrinkles
- Can correct an uneven or gummy grin
Risks Associated with Lip Fillers
While it’s generally a safe procedure, here are a few risks to be wary of:
- Infection at the site of injection
- Could result in a lumpy appearance beneath the skin if not performed properly
- Possible scarring
- Could potentially block blood vessels in the face, leading to complications
We should point out that these risks would only emanate if the specialist performing the procedure doesn’t comply with the safety protocols; such as taking the medical history of the candidate, ensuring the cleanliness of equipment, and aligning the procedure with the candidate’s expectations.
Now that we’ve read about conventional lip fillers, let’s explore how botox injections help elevate the appearance of your lips
Botox and Lip Flip
A lip flip is a non-surgical technique that makes your lips seem fuller and more noticeable. The specialist injects botulinum toxin (botox) into the corners of your mouth and the borders of your lips.
The botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles around your top lip, causing it to “flip” upward slightly and seem bigger than normal.
Benefits of a Lip Flip
- The operation is safe when conducted by a skilled healthcare professional. The risk of problems or adverse effects is minimal
- It can improve your self-esteem
- You will have less discomfort, bruising, and swelling compared with other lip augmentation treatments
Comparing a Lip Flip and Lip Fillers
The main goal of both procedures is the same: to enhance the appearance of your lips. However, there are subtle differences between the two. Lip fillers are a form of dermal filler.
To increase volume to your lips, the healthcare professional injects hyaluronic acid (HA) into any or all of them. Your lips will appear fuller with a symmetrical texture immediately following the operation.
While during a lip flip procedure, your doctor injects botox into certain areas of your top lip. After roughly a week, the injections make your lip(s) appear bigger or “poutier” without adding volume to it.
Lip flips often appear more natural than lip fillers.
