Hyaluronic acid lip filler
Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used filler in lip augmentation. As in other filling procedures, it is applied by injecting with very fine needles after the lips and surrounding areas are numbed with topical anesthesia. Daily life can be resumed immediately after the procedure. Side effects are usually mild and short-lived (detailed information: side effects of lip fillers ).
Hyaluronic acid not only provides fullness but also moisturizes the lips. Since it is naturally found in the human body, it is safe and does not cause allergies. The permanence of hyaluronic acid lip filling is 6-12 months. However, since it is a moving area, the duration of the lip is a little shorter (detailed information: permanence of the lip filling ).
Some of the hyaluronic acid filler brands used in lip filling are: Restylane, Restylane-L, Restylane Silk, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Volbella, Teosyal Kiss, Belotero Balance, HylaForm, Elevess, Prevelle Silk, Captique.
Lip filling with fat injection
Lip filling with fat injection is one of the frequently used methods to enlarge, plump and shape the lips. It can be applied to the upper, lower or both lips. Since the person’s own oil is injected as a filling material, it does not cause allergies.
The fat tissue to be used to be injected into the lips is usually taken from the abdomen by liposuction method. After the process (sometimes combined with PRP), it is injected in small amounts into the lips. After lipid injection, some of the fat cells die. The proportion of cells that continue to live is around 40% in the lips, and these cells are permanent for life. In order to compensate for the decrease in fat cells, the injections can be repeated and more fullness can be obtained.
Collagen lip filling
In the collagen lip filling method, collagen originating from human or bovine is used. Fillers using collagen obtained from cattle are likely to cause an allergic reaction. Brands of fillers containing bovine collagen are Zyderm and Zyplast. Human-derived collagen-containing fillers are not allergic. However, lidocaine, the anesthetic substance they contain, may cause allergies in some people. Some of the brands of human-sourced collagen fillers are Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast, Dermalogen, Cymetra, Autologen, Fascian. Collagen lip filling is the filling method with the least duration.
Lip filling with synthetic ingredients
Synthetic fillers are substances produced in laboratories that are not found naturally in the structure of the lip. It is not preferred much in lip filling due to its high side effects. PMMA (Polymethyl methacrylate), PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic acid) and calcium hydroxylapatite are synthetic fillers. Products using PMMA contain 80% bovine collagen and 20% PMMA. There is a possibility of allergy due to the bovine collagen it contains. Therefore, testing is required before use. The duration of PLLA is 2 years. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a semi-permanent synthetic filler.
Lip filling prices

Many factors such as the amount of filler to be applied to plump the lips, the filling method (hyaluronic acid filling, fat injection, collagen filling, etc.), the brand of the filling material (Juvederm, Teosyal, etc.), the popularity of the doctor, play a role in determining the price. Since lip filling is a temporary application, the number of times it is repeated determines the total price to be paid for the filling. If the total cost is important, permanent lip augmentation procedures may be preferred.
When deciding on the filling procedure to thicken the lips, if possible, it would be more correct to talk to the people who have had this procedure before and to see the photos of the doctor’s applications. The best and most suitable filling method should be preferred instead of the cheapest.
Is lip filling temporary or permanent?
The permanence of lip filling depends on the type of filling material used.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid injections are among temporary fillers. Collagen lip filling is the application with the shortest permanence. On average, it should be repeated after 3 months. The permanence of hyaluronic acid lip filling is longer than collagen filling. The permanence of lip filling made with products such as Teosyal, Juvederm and Restylane containing hyaluronic acid is between 4 months and 1 year. The rate of cross-linked molecules in the product determines the permanence of the hyaluronic acid filling. For this reason, the most permanent hyaluronic acid lip filling is performed with products with the most cross-link between its molecules.
Fat injection applied to plump lips can be called long-lasting or semi-permanent lip filling. Up to %40 of the fat cells taken from the person’s body and injected into the lips continue to live like other fat cells in the body.

Is lip filling harmful? What are the harms?
Since hyaluronic acid (juvederm, teosyal, restylane, etc.), collagen (excluding bovine collagen) and fat used in lip augmentation are naturally found in the human body, fillers made with these substances are not harmful. Bovine collagen can cause allergies, but possible damages are prevented by testing beforehand.
