Filler in lips: the myths debunked

Myth 1: Lip filler application is painful

Myth 2: filler in the lips will give you ducklips

• You may have heard about duck lips or you may have seen someone with such lips passing by on the street. It ain't pretty... The term duck lips refers to unnaturally filled lips that almost resemble a duck's mouth. Are duck lips an inevitable result of bad luck with lip fillers?
• No way, you can avoid them perfectly! Duck lips are the logical consequence of "overfilling" your lips with filler. If you overfill the lips without regard to the natural proportions and shapes of the lips, the cupido arch will disappear, resulting in a kind of sausage lips.

Myth 3: If lip fillers fail, you are doomed

• One of the persistent myths about stuffing your lips is that if it fails, you will look like a candidate of a lifetime of botched. Are you really doomed if the result of treatment with fillers is not what you want?
• Nope! Especially if you choose temporary hyaluronic acid fillers, you don't have to worry about a permanently misshapen face. Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance, your body is simply going to break down the filler in your lip after a few months..

Preventing failed filler

• At Sarasin Clinic for example, we think it is very important that the results are natural and match the unique features of your face. If you are pursuing an unhealthy and unnatural ideal of beauty, then you are not in the right place with us.

Myth 4: Permanent fillers are better

• Some people swear by permanent fillers for your lips. Permanent fillers stay for life present in your lips. This can be done through lipofilling of the lips. The convenient thing about permanent fillers is that you don't have to reapply them every few months.
• While we at Sarasin Clinic are not "anti" permanent fillers, we do feel it is very important that you first experiment with temporary fillers. This way you can discover what you like, what suits you and what makes you feel good.
• Moreover, you should also know that your face and the proportions of your face change over the years and that in ten years you will not look the way you look now. Therefore, it is no no-go, but they are not necessarily superior to temporary hyaluronic acid fillers.

Myth 5: Lip plumping is only for women

Myth 6: If you opt for full lips with lip filler your lips are going to stretch and never go back to 'normal'

• Sometimes it is difficult to find out where myths come from. Such is the case for this myth, for example. People often say that with lip fillers you stretch your lips to the point that they will droop once the filler dissolves. Like, what?
• This persistent myth is completely untrue. More than that, the opposite is true. Lip filler treatments are done with hyaluronic acid. A substance that stimulates collagen production. Collagen is responsible for the firmness of your skin.
• So by injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips, you ensure that your lips are. Even if the hyaluronic acid filler breaks down is broken off, the skin still retains extra firmness.
• In addition they don't stretch your lips at all. After the filler dissolves, your lips take resume their original shape to their original shape.

Myth 7: Once you start, you can never stop

• This myth is linked to the previous myth. Sometimes people act as if you can't go back to your "normal" lips after a filler treatment. As you could read above, none of this is true..
• The lip fillers at Sarasin Clinic are also not permanent, we use temporary fillers based on hyaluronic acid. These fillers are broken down by the body over time as the hyaluronic acid that makes up the filler is a natural, endogenous substance is.

Myth 8: Lip plumping is only for aging people

Myth 9: Filler in lips always looks unnatural

• But plumping up your lips with lip filler doesn't have to look unnatural. What's more, it can be done in such a subtle way that no one will notice you've had your lips done. Fuller lips do not equal duck lips.

Myth 10: Lip fillers are only for people with thin lips

• Last but not least: The myth that lip filler is only for people with narrow lips. While it is certainly an interesting method for people with thin lips to obtain full lips, lip fillers have have many more applications.
• So lip augmentation for full lips is just one of the many things you can do with lip filler. In addition to for volume, you can also use fillers to create symmetry in asymmetrical lips.
• Moreover, lip fillers can not only provide full lips, but you can fill the lips to achieve a better relationship between the upper lip and lower lip. Fillers can also help the hydrate the lips.
