What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers can be defined as a type of TGA & FDA approved cosmetic injectables that add proper volume, shape and stature to your lips, when administered in prescribed quantities by an expert cosmetic physician in a controlled environment. They are popularly known as a type of dermal fillers used specifically for the lip area.

The filler ingredient in lip fillers is made up of synthetic hyaluronic acid – a natural substance found in the human body. This ingredient swells or increases in volume when it comes in contact with water molecules, thus making it the best suitable and secure compound for cosmetic skin rejuvenation and skin revitalization treatments.

There are different brands of lip fillers available in the market. The cosmetic physician first conducts a detailed examination and then suggests the appropriate lip fillers for treatment.

A majority of the people who plan to get lip fillers to aim to enhance the size and volume of their lips. The major reasons for using lip fillers in Melbourne include:

Restore lip size: The lips get thinner and smaller as you age. Philtrum or groove between the septum and upper lip becomes flatter and longer. This reduces the lip size. Lip fillers add volume to the lips and make them more prominent like when younger.

Correct lip shape: It’s common to have asymmetrical lips. If you draw an imaginary vertical line that divides your lips into half, you may find that one side of your lips may have a different shape than the other side. Lip fillers give proper shape to your lips and make them appear symmetrical.

Smoothen the wrinkles: Sometimes wrinkles may develop on both sides of your mouth when you laugh or smile. Lip fillers help to smoothen the wrinkles and make your face look youthful and attractive.

Boosts confidence: Lip fillers add volume, shape and structure to your lips and make them appear more attractive. This boosts your confidence and self-esteem.
