How long do hyaluronic acid lip injections last?

 

Results may vary depending on the type of hyaluronic acid product and individual constitution, but lip hyaluronic acid injectionsDuration: 3 months to 2 yearsis.

Hyaluronic acid formulations tend to be absorbed more quickly when softer and last longer when the particles are larger.

 

Lips are highly expressive, and a soft, supple finish is preferred.

Therefore, it's important to understand that softer hyaluronic acid formulations are often used for lip injections, and their effects tend to fade more quickly compared to other areas.

 

The hyaluronic acid filler injected into the lips is gradually absorbed into the body, soTo maintain your ideal lips, repeated treatments are necessary.

 

 

Common symptoms during lip filler downtime

The downtime for lip hyaluronic acid injections is around one week, with swelling and bruising most likely to occur on the second or third day.

Immediately after lip hyaluronic acid treatment, some people may find it difficult to drink liquids or experience slight discomfort, but most will find it settles in over time.

 

 

How to Spend Your Time and Precautions During Lip Filler Downtime

Here are some key points for managing your lips during hyaluronic acid downtime.

 

・While the area is still warm, cooling the lip hyaluronic acid can also be effective.

・Avoid long baths, alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise, as these can worsen swelling.

・It is recommended to refrain from lip massage for about two weeks after the procedure.

・Be mindful of scheduling around lip permanent makeup (allow sufficient time between procedures)

 

The first three weeks after treatment are a crucial period for hyaluronic acid to stabilize.

Avoid touching the treated area as much as possible and try to rest.

 

 

Potential Complications and Countermeasures for Lip Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Common complications associated with hyaluronic acid lip injections include the following scenarios:

Different from the ideal finish

The discrepancy between the envisioned image and the final result stems from an inadequate sharing of expectations with the doctor.

Additionally, there is a possibility of insufficient experience or skill on the part of the physician, so to achieve the desired outcome, it is necessary to entrust the procedure to a reliable doctor.

 

Hyaluronic acid appears pale and translucent

If hyaluronic acid injections are placed too superficially, they can cause a bluish-white translucency.

This is called the "Tyndall effect" and adversely affects the finish.

The lips are a particularly thin-skinned area where the skin is easily visible, requiring advanced technique to inject at the appropriate depth.

 

Swelling and becoming unnatural

Overdoing the amount of hyaluronic acid injections or getting repeated injections can cause lips to swell unnaturally or become puffy.

Your lips may become unnaturally prominent, potentially resulting in the so-called "hyaluronic acid face."

 

A lump forms

The formation of lumpy bumps on the lips is caused by using hyaluronic acid formulations with large particles that are difficult to blend, or by repeated injections.

Lips tend to be less prone to developing lumps than other areas, but the possibility of lumps forming is not zero.

 

Hyaluronic acid injections are an accessible procedure due to their non-surgical nature and minimal downtime, but they are also a treatment where significant differences arise based on the physician's experience and skill.

To receive treatment with peace of mind, it is important to find a trustworthy clinic and doctor.
