What is lip filler?
Lip filler means placing a product containing hyaluronic acid into the lip tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a molecule already present in the skin, and it holds water.
What decides the result of lip filler?
Three things decide the result: the density of the product, the amount given and the depth at which it is placed. Treatment along the lip border does not give the same result as treatment in the body of the lip. The same product looks different at different depths.
The lips are not considered separately from the rest of the face. How full a lip should look is judged together with the chin, the nose and facial proportions. So the decision is made at the consultation, looking at the face as a whole.
Is there swelling after lip filler?
Swelling and bruising can follow the treatment; these are expected and temporary. The lip area has a rich blood supply.
Who should not have lip filler?
In people with a history of cold sores, the treatment can trigger a cold sore. In that case preventive treatment is planned beforehand. It is not done during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or when there is an active infection in the area.
Is lip filler permanent?
The effect is temporary. The body gradually breaks the product down, and it needs repeating at intervals. How long it lasts depends on the person and the product used.
Lip filler is given at the practice in Muratpaşa, Antalya, by Dr. Oya Oylum Argun. The choice of product and the amount are discussed together at the consultation.
Frequently asked questions
When can I use a swimming pool after lip filler?
No swimming pool for one day after lip filler. This rule applies to all injections, including Botox and mesotherapy. Swelling and bruising can occur after treatment.

Can lip filler and dental treatment be done on the same trip?
Yes, no skin treatment is ruled out after dental treatment; only the timing is planned. Filler is preferably done one or two days before the flight. If Botox is also planned on the same day, Botox is the last procedure of the day. The doctor makes the final plan separately for each patient, after the skin analysis.
Are lip filler and Botox the same thing?
No, they are different treatments. Filler deals with volume and replaces the tissue support that decreases with age. For lip filler, a product containing hyaluronic acid is placed in the lip tissue. Botox temporarily reduces muscle movement and is used for lines caused by facial expressions. Which one is suitable depends on the complaint.
What should I tell the doctor before lip filler?
Tell the doctor at the consultation about any history of cold sores, the medicines you take, and pregnancy, a planned pregnancy or breastfeeding. In people with a history of cold sores, the treatment can trigger one, and in that case preventive treatment is planned beforehand. Writing your questions down beforehand also helps, because the question you forgot often comes to mind once you are home.
