No Lip Service Here! Speaking Up About Lip Filler Misconceptions 

From runways and TV to your next-door neighbor, so many people are getting their smackers enhanced with lip fillers. It can seem that lip fillers have etched their way into the cosmetically enhanced side of society and are here to stay. As popular as this innovative cosmetic treatment may be, you’ll find a lot of misinformation about the treatment, the outcome, and the after-effects of getting your lips plumped with cosmetic fillers.

At Bee Aesthetics, we get to see first-hand just how effective and beautifying lip fillers can be, so we’re ready to clear the air. Take a look at a few of the biggest misconceptions about lip fillers.

Misconception: Lip fillers don’t look natural and make your lips feel weird.

Lip fillers don’t automatically mean you’ll have duck lips or extremely pronounced changes in the formation of your mouth. At Bee Aesthetics in Cincinnati, we take a modest approach to plumping lips. The difference is meant to be one that looks natural, and not so drastic that it is obvious you’ve had something done. Likewise, your lips won’t feel any different; you won’t lose sensitivity or have numbness once your lips have healed and are no longer swollen.

Misconception: Lip fillers leave permanent scars on your lips from the injections.

The needle used to perform lip-filler procedures is very small, and we normally only have to do a few injections. That initial piercing point will heal rather quickly after the procedure. Rarely, if an individual receives repeat treatments over the years, small scars can develop. However, these scars can be minimal for most patients and don’t normally cause any real concern.

Misconception: Lip filler treatments don’t last long.

Lip fillers can last anywhere from a few months to more than a year depending on the type of injection material used. For example, simple collagen injections may last only about three months whereas others like hyaluronic acid fillers can last six months or more.
