When you are learning about lip augmentation you will inevitably discover various kinds of lip fillers out there. It's time to break down what lip fillers are and how they can enhance your lip goals.
Lip fillers are also known as lip injections which have many uses in a variety of cosmetic treatments. For patients in Houston lip injections (fillers) are performed by Dr. Mark A. Schusterman, double board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Schusterman will assess your lips and facial features and work with you in your consultation to find the proper lip filler treatment for you. While you may have a specific lip look you want to achieve, it’s important your lips work with your facial structure and create a symmetrical look.
As you make life changes to slow the aging process and maintain a healthy lifestyle, lip fillers can make a fantastic addition to your beauty regimen. Houston lip fillers provider Dr. Schusterman will consider patients for lip fillers who meet the following criteria:
Getting your lip filler injections is a simple in-office procedure. The lip fillers work to combat the early signs of aging. Dr. Schusterman will determine your lip shape and work to make your lips symmetrical with your facial features. There are several options for lip injections. Here is a breakdown of the types of lip fillers Houston residents can attain with Dr. Schusterman:
Juvederm
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid, a substance already in your body to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Juvederm also works to plump and increase the volume of your lips, creating a natural look. Treatment takes about 15 minutes
Restylane
Restylane is pre-mixed with lidocaine, which will ease any discomfort during treatment. Restylane is also composed of hyaluronic acid and gives immediate results. Treatment lasts 30-45 minutes.
Kysse
Kysse is part of the Restylane family and provides flexibility for natural-looking lip volume. Kysse helps to enhance the color and texture of your lips and allows you to have a full range of facial expressions.
During your Houston lip augmentation, Dr. Schusterman will use the predetermined lip filler to inject into your lips, creating the shape and volume needed. No anesthesia is necessary, but a topical agent will be used to numb the injection site. The entire treatment should only take about 15 minutes, and no downtime is required.
Dr. Schusterman wants to ensure you experience the safest and best lip fillers Houston has to offer, and will have specific aftercare instructions to follow for optimal healing. It is very crucial to avoid sun exposure, limit drinking alcohol, and avoid smoking for at least a week to achieve your best results.
Your results should last for six months to eight months. You will want to follow a maintenance plan to keep your lip look consistent as, over time, the lip filler will eventually be metabolized within your body.
It is important not to disturb your lips for 24-48 hours by either massaging or rubbing them. You will also want to make sure you only sleep on your back for the first night to make sure the lip filler does not have any pressure put upon it.
