What happens during a lip filler appointment?
Contour, volume, comfort and suites: the steps to prepare a project adapted to your mouth and face.
The essential benchmarks
What to remember
An injection may specify a contour or change a volume. The project takes into account the initial shape of the lips, their movement and the care that has already been done. The swelling of the first days does not correspond to the stabilized result.
What change do you want?
Refine the hem drawing, rebalance a difference between the two lips or regain a little volume does not require the same work. Start by explaining the details that bother you and what you want to keep.
The doctor observes the mouth at rest and in motion. The balance with chin, nose and smile also counts. An inspirational photo can serve as a starting point for discussion, without imposing the shape of another person.
Before the sessions
Report products already injected, their date, medications and allergies. Mention herpes episodes and any recent dental or infectious problems. Bring, if you have them, the references of the products used before.
The appointment allows you to choose an area, a quantity and a method of anesthesia. Do not stop a prescribed treatment to prepare an injection without medical advice. If you have a planned event, leave time for follow-up and control.
During injections
After cleaning and disinfection, the doctor will perform the injections according to the defined plan. Since lips are sensitive, anesthesia and breaks are discussed to improve comfort. Feelings of sting or tension may persist despite these measures.
You receive information about the injected product and instructions to follow. Take advantage of this moment to ask who to contact in case of question after your return home.
What do you expect the next days?
Swelling, sensitivity and bruising may occur after an injection. Transient reliefs or asymmetry may be linked to the sequels; they must be reported to the cabinet rather than seeking to correct themselves.
Do not massage your mouth without instructions. Control is used to assess the result after recovery. A renewal is discussed according to the evolution, the product and your wish; it is not to be automatically programmed each year.
What signs must be called quickly?
An unusual or increasing pain, an area that whitens or becomes greyish or bluish requires immediate medical advice after an injection. A visual disorder requires urgent management. These signs may correspond to a rare but serious vascular complication.
For duration and maintenance benchmarks, see also how long the hyaluronic acid lasts in the lips. The rates and contact form are accessible separately.
