Getting Lip Fillers in Bangkok: A Guide to Natural-Looking Results
Thinking about fuller, plumper lips? You're not alone! Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment that can enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. But forget the overinflated "trout pout" look – lip fillers can be used strategically to achieve natural-looking results that complement your facial features.
What are Lip Fillers and How Can They Create Natural Lips?
Lip fillers are injectable gels, usually made of hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally found in your skin), that add volume and definition to your lips. We use FDA approved brands such as Restylane KYSSE, Juvederm and Yvoire. At SKNN Clinic Bangkok, our experienced doctors use a variety of techniques to achieve natural-looking enhancements. We focus on:
Subtle volume: We believe in a "less is more" approach, adding small amounts of filler to enhance your natural lip shape.
Balancing proportions: We consider your entire face to ensure your lips complement your other features.
Enhancing definition: We can define your Cupid's bow and lip borders to create a sharper, more youthful look.
What to Expect During Your Lip Filler Appointment:
Consultation: We'll discuss your goals, medical history, and recommend the best filler type and amount for you.
The procedure: A topical anaesthetic is applied for around 30 minutes to minimize discomfort. The filler is injected with a tiny needle and is a quick procedure that usually takes around 30 minutes.
Results: You'll see immediate results, with some swelling and bruising possible. These side effects typically subside within a few days.
Top Aftercare Tips for Amazing Results:
Ice it Down: Apply an ice pack or an ice cube wrapped in a clean cloth to reduce swelling and ease pain.
Hydration is Key: Drink plenty of water to keep your body and skin hydrated, aiding in faster recovery.
Take it Easy: Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours after treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
Cool It: Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, and heated exercise sessions for up to 48 hours.
Skip the Straw: Avoid sipping with straws after lip filler – actually always, the environment and lip lines will thank you!
Skip the Blood Thinners: Avoid medications like ibuprofen or aspirin unless prescribed by your doctor.
Makeup on Hold: Avoid applying makeup on your lips for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Elevate for Less Puff: Sleep with your head elevated on pillows to reduce swelling.
Go Easy on the Salt: Limit sodium intake to prevent swelling.
Boost Healing with Arnica: Apply topical arnica creams and consider oral supplements to reduce bruising and speed up healing.
When in Doubt, Consult: If you have any concerns or notice prolonged swelling or bruising, get in touch with us immediately.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Take to Settle?
Dermal lip fillers are instant, so you can see a visible result immediately after injection. However, it takes up to 4 weeks for dermal fillers to fully integrate into the tissue and some fillers are more cohesive than others. On average, most lip fillers will settle within two weeks after the treatment. Lip filler lumps usually go away within 2-3 weeks, either by themselves or with the help of gentle massage. If the lip filler lumps persist after two weeks, they can be evened out by injecting more filler around the lumps or using a small amount of hyaluronidase enzyme to dissolve them.
By following these simple and easy-to-follow steps, you can ensure a safe and successful recovery from your dermal lip filler treatment.
