Fuller lips have been iconic since the reign of Angelina Jolie in Hollywood. Luckily for her, she never had to go under the knife to get this unique little feature; to quote Lady Gaga, she was in fact, ‘Born this Way’. Recently, French actress Marion Cotillard has taken a shine on lip injections. But before fans could scoff, they’d be relieved to know that Marion’s little enhancement is a temporary change for her new film, Rock’n Roll. But if you’re keen on getting your lips done, here’s what you need to know
- Type of filler
The filler your doctor chooses for you determines the longevity and outcome of your enhancement. Temporary fillers with hyaluronic acid (HA) are a popular choice. It produces more HA when injected around the lips; this in turn allows the lips to remain fuller naturally.
- Pain
Plastic surgery and pain go hand in hand. You can expect some bleeding or bruising, but it will certainly fade within a few days. Consult your doctor for medication in order to lessen the pain.
- Return to Natural State
Fillers that last up to six months need a touch up. This is a plus point for patients as the injection is not permanent. At any point if you want to stop your treatment it won’t alter your features; rather, your lips will slowly come back to your natural state.
