Types of Filler Used in Lip Filling: Which one is suitable for you?
If you are considering lip fillers, it is important to know which filler is most suitable for you. There are various types of fillers used in lip fillers and each has different properties. The most commonly used filler is hyaluronic acid. Since this natural substance is already present in the body, the risk of allergic reaction is low and gives the lips a natural fullness. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume to the lips thanks to its soft and flexible structure, while also having a moisturising effect. Collagen-based fillers were once widely used in lip fillers, but are now less preferred because they are shorter-lasting than hyaluronic acid fillers. However, some patients find that collagen fillers give a more pronounced shape to the lips. There are also more permanent fillers such as calcium hydroxylapatite. These types of fillers provide a longer lasting volume to the lips, but require a more careful recovery process after the procedure. In addition, these fillers can be more difficult to remove, so it is important to think carefully when choosing highly permanent fillers. When deciding which filler is suitable for you, factors such as your lip structure, desired results and the permanence of the filler should be taken into consideration. Consulting an aesthetic surgeon to determine the best type of filler for you will help you achieve natural and pleasing results.
