Everything You Need to Know About Lip Filler

Nowadays, women who want a fuller lip and a more rejuvenated look, resort to undergoing a reconstructive procedure known as the lip filler. Younger patients desire this more than their more aged counterparts, who are usually just looking to revive a youthful lip.

The procedure of performing the lip filler is entirely uncomplicated. Skin Secrets have specialized in this approach for 20 years now. This makes the renowned clinic the expert in the art of completing lip fillers. According to Dr. Gretchen, the ultimate goal here is enhancing your physical appearance by looking natural without anybody saying you had your lip done.

It’s about looking at the face of the patient, considering the shape, and trying to proportion them rightly. She added that the method is ideal since it defines the lip borders, however not everyone might need this.

Lip Ratio for White and Black Women

White women commonly have an upper lip about a third to two-thirds ratio. However, most black women have a lip proportion of 50-50. When achieving the definitive lip filler, the Skin Secrets’ technique is looking at the face and trying not to give patients different lips. Their professionals only accentuate the lips the patient already has.

The doctor will have to use a topical anesthetic that will numb your lips so you won’t feel any pain and the process can be as comfortable as possible. However, there may be instances that it will hurt a bit but the unwanted sensation will be bearable and it will only last a few seconds. 

One of the best things about lip fillers is that the outcomes are instantaneous, and you can notice how your lips look presently.
