Let’s first discuss the elephant in the room — the misconception regarding lip filler. Most people do not want Kylie Jenner lips. As one continues to age, the volume of the lip and the perioral area tends to diminish. Most will notice that the upper lip, specifically, is the one that thins out most and often has the ability to change one’s smile.
With the lips being such a feminizing and youthful feature of the face, it is important to understand what can be done to improve the natural aging process. Our Lip Fillers in Vero Beach at Ocean Drive Med Spa, offer a safe and effective solution for achieving the perfect pout.
Much of the anxiety that some have regarding lip filler stems from the unknown and thinking their lips are going to be too big or unnatural.
It’s important to understand that the lips are supposed to fit your individual face without anyone being able to pinpoint that there is filler in the lips. One of my philosophies of injectables is that they are meant to compensate for the structural loss of aging, not to augment the natural appearance of anyone.
The first is the elevation of a lip, which is crucial when using Lip Fillers. This refers to the vertical height that you see on a lip. This is an important component of the lip to correct the flat or nonexistent upper lip or the pout appearance of the lower lip. The more elevation a lip has, the more “done” it tends to look.
The second component of the lip, vital when using Lip Fillers, is the body of the lip. The body of the lip refers to the “pillowed” part of the lip that starts at the vermillion border (where the skin color meets the pink) and ends at the wet-dry border of the inner part of the lip. This is the part of the lip that can aid in hydration to the lip, limiting the lip lines to the actual lip itself.
The third critical component for Lip Fillers is the lip's structure. The structure of the lip refers to the lining of the lip where the vermillion border (where the skin color meets the pink) is. This is a very important component to treat for people who have difficulty lining their lips. This also helps to reinforce the structure of the lip to minimize the vertical lip lines from forming in the perioral area.
It is important to understand that lips come in all sizes and shapes and that there is no universal standardized approach to treating lips. With Lip Fillers Vero Beach patients experience customized treatments, as the diverse range of lip shapes necessitates varying injection techniques and filler types. For example, a young patient in their early 20s will likely want a little more elevation and body to their lip and not so much structure, whereas a more mature patient in their 60s will probably need more body and structure to their lip and not as much elevation.
Understanding the aging process and what is anatomically correct for each patient is probably the most important part of treating lips. One of the next most important components of treating lips is the type of filler being used and how it is injected. All the hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have their strengths in certain settings. When it comes to Lip Fillers Vero Beach patients can achieve either a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic, wow-factor transformation for their lips.
At our practice in Vero Beach Lip Fillers consultations are tailored to your desires, considering that lips are sensitive and mobile. If a patient starts with very thin lips, only so much filler can be administered safely in one session. For the most part, any results are attainable; it just might take a couple of sessions to get you where you want to be. For most people, one to two sessions are average.
The sessions are usually one to three months apart.
