Lip Injections (Dermal Fillers):

• Procedure: This is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure where a dermal filler, often containing hyaluronic acid, is injected into the lips.

• Common Fillers: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are commonly used for lip injections.

• Results: The results are immediate, and the injections can be tailored to achieve the desired volume and shape.

• Duration of Results: The effects are temporary, typically lasting several months to a year, depending on the specific filler used and individual metabolism.

• Recovery: There may be some swelling and bruising after the procedure, but downtime is generally minimal.

Lip Implants:

• Procedure: Lip implants involve a surgical procedure in which a soft silicone implant is inserted into the lips to add volume.

• Implant Types: There are different types of lip implants, including silicone implants and biological implants. Silicone implants are more common due to their predictability and longevity.

• Results: Lip implants provide a permanent or long-lasting solution for lip augmentation.

• Recovery: Recovery time is longer compared to lip injections, and there may be some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Full recovery may take several weeks.
