What are the Types of Lip Filling?

To achieve the desired shape and fullness of women’s lips, procedures are performed with dermal fillers. Depending on the filler used, the effect on the lip will be permanent or temporary. Since the substance called hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that is secreted spontaneously in young people, it ensures that the lip is moist and flexible. Fillers called dermal mimic the same effects of HA (hyaluronic acid) and in this way, it manages to increase the fullness of the lips while reducing the lip edge lines formed on the lip edges. Artecoll is a type of synthetic material that makes the lips look puffy. Because it is synthetic, there is more risk of encountering an allergic reaction than collagen or fat injection. However, it should not be forgotten that it is also a longer-lasting procedure. The autologous process is the process of using the collagen taken from another part of the body, that is, injecting it. There is no allergic risk in this procedure. However, as in the other procedure, it is not a long-lasting procedure, it is a temporary procedure, that is, it is an application method that will lose its effect in the future. This application method is a good option for those who do not want to use it for a long time. The collagen substance can be taken from cows and injected into the lips. There is also an allergic risk in this form of application. For this reason, it is the healthiest for the surgeon to test the patient before starting its full use. The results can last between 1 month and 3 months on average. Fat taken from the patient’s own buttocks or body can be injected into the lips. There is no allergic risk in this application method and there is a high probability of getting a permanent result.
