Lip fillers to look younger

As we age, collagen production slows down, and our once-voluminous lips may become thin and flat. Lip fillers, using hyaluronic acid, are done via multiple injections with superfine needles, and can show results immediately. Some swelling and bruising may occur.

The practitioner’s skill is crucial. Placing the fillers too superficially will cause the lips to look “lumpy”. Lip fillers usually last about six to nine months. You may need further injections once they are fully absorbed.
