myths and misconceptions associated with it,
especially about pain and recovery. Lets come

Myths and Reality
MYTHS AND REALITY ABOUT LIP AUGMENTATION
These are some of the commonly circulated myths
that panic patients. Lets see whether they are
real.

MYTH 1 LIP ENHANCEMENT IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL
One of the most pervasive myths is that the lip
augmentation procedure is unbearably painful. The
idea of needles invokes fear of pricking near
sensitive lip tissues. Certainly, this idea is
intimidating. But advanced cosmetic technology
and techniques have significantly overcome this
discomfort.
5
The Reality
The advanced lip augmentation procedure typically
requires fine needles or cannulas to process
minimally invasive lip filler treatment.
Moreover, most practitioners start with a topical
anaesthetic or numbing cream before the needling
process. This step makes the following experience
painless to the maximum extent. Apart from this,
some dermal fillers have lidocaine that acts as a
local anesthetic. It further enhances comfort
even if the skin is injected multiple times
during the procedure.
It feels like a mild sensation or pinch, but not
the unbearable pain. A study published in Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open amplified
the voice of 87 of patients that lip fillers
cause mild to moderate pain, but not the severe
sensation. It indicates that the procedure is
actually tolerable for a majority of patients.

MYTH 2 THE PAIN PERSISTS LONG AFTER THE PROCEDURE ps
Another complaint is related to pain lingering for days or even weeks after the lip sculpting procedure. THE REALITY After the procedure, discomfort usually subsides the very same or next day. However, the traces of mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising can last for 24 to 48 hours. Its a normal healing process. If it does not settle down, pain relievers like acetaminophen, which is available over the counter, can manage it effectively. There are hardly any cases when individuals might feel lumpiness in the lips. The lum usually subside as the filler or injectable is absorbed with the surrounding tissues. ps

MYTH 3 RECOVERY TAKES WEEKS
This myth is connected with the length of
recovery or downtime. It goes as the patients
feel uneasy waiting for many days or weeks for
recovery. THE REALITY Lip augmentation is also
considered a lunchtime procedure for being
quickly done and minimally invasive. The entire
process, including consultation, hardly takes
less than an hour. So is the downtime.

Most patients are healed and free to return to
work. They resume routine activities right after
the procedure. Certainly, a few precautions can
help in ensuring optimal results, which are
mentioned below
Avoid Touching or Massaging the Lips
Fillers are fluid that can be displaced
unintentionally if you massage or touch lips
frequently. Stay Hydrated Lubricate your
body with plenty of water, as it maintains the
longevity of the fillers. Skip intense
workouts for 24 hours Minimise the risk of
swelling and bruising.

MYTH 3 RECOVERY TAKES WEEKS
Its an inappropriate conception that lip
procedures cause swollen or bruised lips. THE
REALITY To some extent, it is true that this
procedure causes mild and temporary bruising.
Swelling typically exaggerates within the first
24 hours and significantly decreases within 2 to
3 days.
11
Apply Ice Packs Its an inappropriate
conception that lip procedures cause swollen or
bruised lips. Use Arnica Gel or
Cream Arnica gel can be used to counter
inflammation and bruising. Avoid
Blood-Thinning Substances
Do not take blood-thinning medicines like
aspirin, ibuprofen, or alcohol. Start making
distance from these medicines a few days before
and after the procedure.

MYTH 5 RESULTS LOOK FAKE OR OVERDONE
People often think that lip sculpting will leave
them with unnatural or exaggerated results, which
are also recognised as the duck lips. THE
REALITY However, this can be true if you ignore
a skilled and experienced practitioner for this
procedure. The specialist is the right one who
can deliver subtle, naturallooking results with
the complete harmony of your facial features. The
success lies in the bespoke treatment. A
qualified and experienced skin specialist is able
to tailor the treatment according to your unique
facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and preferences.
But it would require thorough discussion during
consultation.

MYTH 6 LIP ENHANCEMENT IS PERMANENT Its a
common misconception that your lips will be stuck
with fillers forever even if you dont like the
results. THE REALITY Since many lip fillers
consist of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally
found protein in the body, these injectable
dissolve within 6 to 12 months.

with lip enhancement can help in coping with
unnecessary fears. This comprehensibility

survey by the American Academy of Dermatology
brought the fact to light that 72 of influenced
people had heard the myths online or from peers.
These misconceptions can be dispelled by
discussing concerns with a qualified doctor.
The Psychological Impact of Debunking Myths
However, some myths persist. But the reality is
more beautiful and soothing. So, consult with a
qualified practitioner and discuss how you can
achieve expected or natural-looking results with
minimum discomfort.
