Poutilicious lips have taken pop culture by storm. Popular makeup trends, as well as social media feeds and fashion publications are all testimony to this fact. Having luscious lips is, as a matter of fact, considered to be a beauty standard that is hard to resist. And this fascination with fuller, hydrated lips goes back a long way – it is deeply rooted in our cultural psyche as a sign of health and beauty.
However, not everyone is blessed with the type of pouters they desire. For a long time, plastic surgery would be the only way to go for those who wanted to change the appearance of their lips. But the easy availability of non-surgical cosmetic options in the form of lip fillers in Melbourne has made it easier for those looking to enhance their facial features without the need to go under the knife. Lip fillers can add volume and definition to thin and ageing lips. This simple procedure has gained its popularity due to its ease, affordability and effectiveness, not to mention zero downtime requirements. But despite all of its benefits, there are still many who might not feel confident about this procedure, as there is always the risk of getting a bad lip job. If you feel like this as well, then this blog post is for you.
Lip fillers are a safe bet, even if you are apprehensive about the results
Unlike surgical options for cosmetic enhancement where a botched job meant that you would need to live with it, lip fillers are comparatively temporary, and the results usually last for around 6 months to a year without any repeat treatments. This is also because the filler is naturally broken down and removed by the body over time.
Moreover, at Victorian Laser & Skin Clinic, we advise our first time clients to go slow on lip fillers, if they aren’t quite sure about the results. As this is a non-invasive procedure, it is possible to have repeat treatments over a few sessions, so as to gradually alter the shape of your lips till you are happy with them. This approach also allows you to have more control over the results, and will also look like a more natural transition from your current lip appearance to the new one. Once you are happy with the look, you could maintain it with repeat treatments every few months.
And in the event that you aren’t completely happy with your results, it is also possible to erase them completely with the injection of an eraser enzyme. This injection will cause the dermal filler to dissolve and restore your lips to their original appearance in less than a week. So this way, lip fillers are an almost risk-free cosmetic option for those who wish to transform the appearance of their lips.
But, there is one thing you must not ignore
As with most cosmetic procedures, there is always a risk that even your lip fillers can go wrong. If fillers are injected into the wrong place, then apart from the cosmetic repercussions, there is also a risk of it blocking blood vessels, resulting in pain, dis-colouration and even death of the skin tissue in rare cases. The best way you can minimize this risk is by choosing a reliable and reputed practitioner, who has a proven track record when it comes to lip fillers in Melbourne. With an experienced practitioner, you can rest assured that you will be in good hands.
