What are the types of filler injections for the lips?

Lip fillers are a process through which the spaces between the cells of the lips are filled with some materials that differ from each other in characteristics and uses, and they all share in the fact that they give the lips a youthful and fresh appearance, and increase their fullness and beauty. There is a belief among the public that the filler is the name of the material used in the injection process, and this is incorrect because the process itself is called filler with different names and composition of the materials used in the injection process.

The different types of lip filler injections

Fillers differ from each other in terms of their softness, chemical composition, and the duration of their results. In general, the softer types are used for lip fillers, while the medium soft ones can be used for cheek fillers. Examples of soft fillers that can be used to inflate the lips without causing lumps or granules in them:

hyaluronic acid

It is a natural acid present in the skin cells to help maintain their elasticity and suppleness and to retain large amounts of water, which increases the freshness of the lips and makes them reflect the appearance of health and youth. Among the most famous brands used for lip injections, which mainly consist of hyaluronic acid, Restylane®, and Juvederm®.

Collagen

Collagen is also a natural substance, and its results are very good, and it gives a beautiful natural appearance to the lips immediately after the injection, but one of its most important drawbacks is that it does not last the same period as hyaluronic acid, and it needs to repeat the injections at fewer intervals.

The operation is easier if the patient is going to undergo liposuction in addition to lip filler injection. In any case, autologous fat is one of the least lasting results, and often needs to be re-injected at intervals of approximately four months.
