Thinking about lip augmentation? Before you book your appointment, here are four essential things to consider. First, the type of filler matters — at Blooming we use only high-quality, proven hyaluronic acid products. Second, results are temporary and can be dissolved if needed. Third, natural enhancement is key — our goal is to create beautifully defined lips that suit your facial proportions. Fourth, an experienced injector makes all the difference in avoiding overcorrection and ensuring a smooth, even result. Book a consultation to discuss your wishes.
Full lips like those of Sophia Loren, Angelina Jolie or Kylie Jenner are very much in demand today. Many women feel more feminine with fuller lips, and they give a seductive appearance. Not everyone has naturally full lips, but these can be created with a fairly simple procedure. We share four facts about lip augmentation.
Not All Practitioners Use the Same Product
That not all practitioners use the same product was demonstrated in the RTL television programme Verminkt. Always ensure that a lip augmentation is performed by a certified doctor who uses temporary fillers based on hyaluronic acid. Be cautious with cheap lip augmentations at beauty salons or via Groupon deals. Cheap often turns out to be expensive: it can lead to serious disfigurement.
The Effect is Not Permanent
The use of permanent fillers is prohibited in the Netherlands. These can lead to complications and permanent, unwanted changes to the face. The temporary fillers we and many other clinics use are hyaluronic acid-based. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by the body, making the risk of complications negligible. The substance is broken down by the body in approximately six months, causing the effect to diminish. You can then choose to repeat the treatment.
Less is More
There are women (and men) who have too much hyaluronic acid injected, resulting in overly full lips. Because we consider subtlety important, we always fill the lips gently at first, so that your lips retain their natural appearance and remain in proportion with the rest of your face. Personal wishes are always open for discussion — which is precisely why it is important to discuss these with an experienced doctor who performs this treatment regularly.
Treatment Without Downtime
After having your lips augmented there is little to no recovery time: you could, in a manner of speaking, have this treatment done during your lunch break, although swelling and bruising may develop afterwards. The extent of this varies from person to person. These symptoms will disappear naturally after a few days and can be concealed with suitable make-up.
