Myths About Lip Fillers



With the rise of social media platforms like Instagram, cosmetic procedures like lip fillers, cheek fillers, Botox, and nose jobs are becoming more and more common. Once thought of as plastic surgery procedures only celebrities get, today, global face and head procedures have risen to 4.1 million annually.
Having ‘big lips’ has become a popular trend in recent years. To achieve this look, many men and women get injectable fillers. Depending on the individual’s preferences, they can go as big or natural as they like. Some clients also get lip fillers done to reverse the signs of aging, since our lips get thinner as we grow older.
Nonetheless, like most cosmetic procedures, there are many myths surrounding the topic. Let’s debunk them.

Lip fillers don’t look natural

Like all cosmetic procedures, lip fillers are customized to achieve the look a patient wants. Some people like a hyper-exaggerated look and want their fillers to look obvious. For such individuals, a larger amount of lip filler is injected into their lips.

Likewise, someone looking to even out their lips or reverse signs of aging can get a much smaller amount injected into their lips. The key to getting the look you want is to show your practitioner the look you want to go for.

My lips won’t feel the same

Most individuals believe that injecting their lips will make them lose sensation. Others feel like their lips might be painful to rub together afterward, like when applying lipstick or lip balm. In reality, though, your lips will feel normal. You won’t lose sensation, nor will your lips be painful to the touch.

Lip fillers are permanent

Since celebrities who’ve had lip fillers have maintained the look for so many years now—Kylie Jenner, Donatella Versace, Jesy Nelson, Lindsay Lohan, etc.—many people believe the results are permanent. Lip fillers require maintenance appointments. Derma fillers used to give the lips a plump look are absorbed by the body over time, leading them to lose their shape and volume.
Lip fillers can also be dissolved if you don’t like the look of them. Some celebrities— like Huda from Huda Beauty—have gotten their fillers dissolved in 2017 and 2018.

Lip enhancements are not safe

Many people are still skeptical about the ‘safeness’ of getting injectables for cosmetic purposes. Lip enhancements used at certified clinics and administered by trained and licensed professionals are all approved by the Department of Health Canada. Whenever you visit a clinic for injectable fillers in Calgary, always ask for the status of the products they use.

The more progress the notion has made, the more attention it has been received for not only does it involve a brief recovery period but also takes post-op complications out of the equation. Moreover, fat stays off longer with non-invasive than invasive options and cost less all around.
