Lip Fillers
What is Lip Filling?
It is known that American psychologist Abraham Maslow, who suggested that people are motivated by their own needs rather than external factors, identified five basic needs that are interrelated in a certain hierarchy consisting of physical, safety, social, valued/respected and self-actualisation needs (Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs).
In fact, apart from these needs, Maslow identified two other basic needs as cognitive and aesthetic needs. However, these two needs were evaluated by later scientists within the scope of the need for self-actualisation, which is at the top of the hierarchical needs.
The key to looking beautiful is facial beauty. A beautiful face is a whole formed by the form, proportion and colours that come together in a correct, meaningful, balanced and harmonious way. Lips are undoubtedly one of the most important structures that affect facial beauty in terms of form and proportion. Especially together with the tip of the nose and chin, they form the focal point of the face and contribute significantly to the formation of facial balance and facial symmetry.
While some of the people have natural, well-shaped, full, beautiful looking lips that are compatible with the face from birth, some of them have thin and misshapen lips, small or large lips compared to the face. However, those with beautiful lips may also face thinning and deformity problems over time or for some reasons. However, thanks to aesthetic applications that have progressed in parallel with the developing technology, it has become quite simple and safe to have the desired full and aesthetic lip structure. Especially with the Lip Filler application, which is performed to add volume and plumping to thin lips, to clarify the lip lines and to ensure the aesthetic proportion between the lips, the deformed lip structure has ceased to be a problem. The important thing now is to decide what kind of lip you want to have.

How to MakeLip Filling?
Lip filling; It is a painless intervention that should be performed by experts in the field and experienced in subcutaneous filling applications. Firstly, the application plan is made by considering the complaints and demands of the patient.
Pregnant women, breastfeeding babies, those who use blood thinners, those with chronic skin problems should definitely inform the doctor before the application.
Before the application, the area to be filled is marked and local anaesthesia is performed with the help of anaesthetic gel and cream. Then, with the help of fine-tipped needles, the filling material is injected into the planned area.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and its derivatives, a compound found naturally in our body and used in many cosmetic products, are frequently used in lip fillers. This molecular compound, which can hold almost 1000 times its own weight in water, keeps the moisture needed by the skin in balance. This substance is generally preferred because it is found in the natural structure of the body, moisturises the skin, provides cellular regeneration and is very unlikely to cause allergies or other side effects.
Another method used is the injection of rich fat (autologous fat) prepared by obtaining from the patient’s own body and stem cells. Since the tissue used belongs to the patient, it is natural and does not show allergic effects, there is no incompatibility, and there is no disease transmission. Since the transferred tissue is living tissue, the filling effect is high. Its cost is low and it can be repeated. However, fat removal is not preferred because it requires a separate intervention.
Unlike these two fillers, artificially produced substances such as Restylan, Calcium Hydroxylapatite, Biodegradable Polymer and collagen are also used in filling applications. It is important that the fillers used are products approved by the Ministry of Health.
Lip filler application is completed within maximum half an hour and the patient continues his/her normal life. The desired image is formed in about a week. During this period, slight redness and swelling may be seen temporarily in the injection area.
Nothing should be eaten or drunk for at least two hours after the application. In the first week, extremely hot environments and very hot baths should be avoided and foods containing vitamin E should be avoided.
The effect of lip filling is temporary and lasts between 6 and 12 months. If desired, it can be reapplied. The fillers used disappear spontaneously when their effect life in the skin ends. Therefore, they do not leave a permanent effect.
Additional Information About Lip Augmentation
In people with very thin lips, sudden thickening of the lips may cause some problems. In these people, it is more appropriate to perform the application gradually with different sessions within a few months.
