Top Lip Filler Myths:
You can always tell when someone has lip fillers
While there are definitely cases of lip fillers being obvious, this is not the case often. Unnatural looking fillers are often down to the skill of the technician. Always do your research before getting lip fillers, ask to see the work of the technician and make sure they are trained and experienced, as good technicians can make your fillers look natural and undetectable.
2. Lip fillers stretch your lips out and if you stop getting them, your lips will sag.
This is entirely untrue. When getting lip fillers, hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips, which is a substance that already exists in our bodies naturally. Hyaluronic acid promotes collagen production, so even when your body’s enzymes start to dissolve the filler, the leftover product thickens your skin's dermis, which keeps it healthy, preventing wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Lip fillers are only for older people.
All ages can get fillers in their lips! As mentioned before, the hyaluronic acid in fillers helps promote collagen production and therefore are good for combating the ageing process by prevent physical signs of ageing.
4. Only people with thin lips get lip fillers
Anyone can get lip fillers! Whether you’ve got thin lips or big lips, anyone can opt to get their lips filled if they so choose. Fillers have much more function than just plumping, they can contour, add symmetry, define cupids bows etc.
5. Lip fillers are irreversible.
You can dissolve your lip fillers at any time!! Lip fillers are a semi-permanent beauty treatment, which requires maintenance and top-up appointments to keep up, as your body will naturally break down the fillers. As long as you have dermal or hyaluronic acid, the treatment is reversible.
