As summer starts winding down, thank goodness masks are a thing of the past; hopefully, they will stay there. It was a very long two years of isolation and covering up, so as we pull the mask away, how well have your lips held up over the past two years? Perhaps it might be time to give them a little pick-me-up with lip filler? At Dr. Tatum, we can enhance your lips with a little plump to make your smile even prettier, and we can brighten your teeth for an entirely new look! This is what you need to know about how your cosmetic dentist in Charleston, SC will administer lip fillers.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are designed to give your lips the plumpness that you weren’t born with, or maybe the plump has deflated somewhat over the years. It is a pretty non-invasive and inexpensive way to make your lips look younger. Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced in the body. It works by attracting the moisture in your body, thereby giving your lips a fuller and more voluptuous appearance. The more filler you inject, the fuller your lips, so you can turn it down or turn it up, depending on the look you want!
What Are Lip Filler Options?
Lip fillers can be injected in many ways to give someone a different look. Some people want a more pouty lower lip look, and some are looking for a fuller overall appearance. The good news is that you can customize lip fillers to make you look exactly as you want. We can increase volume accordingly to give you a more youthful and natural look. And the lip fillers can last a full year, so you only have to come in annually.
Why You Should Go to Your Dentist for Lip Filler
Many salons and offices offer lip filler, but who better to administer it than your dentist? Dentists’ education is solely focused on the muscles, bones, and structures of the face, so they are thoroughly trained in things like lip and mouth structure. It is important to get lip filler correct; after all, if it lasts for a full year, you want to make sure to go to the right professional since you have to live with it for a while.
What Type of Lip Fillers Should You Consider?
When choosing the lip filler, there are many different brands and kinds to choose from. At Dr. Tatum, we use Juvederm, Belotero Balance, Voluma, and Volbella. They are all used to remove fine lines and wrinkles and give a fuller appearance. They are also injectables that have a hyaluronic acid base. When compared to Juvederm; Belotero, Voluma and Volbella tend to offer a lower density, making them more appropriate for finer lines. Juvederm tends to be better for more pronounced folds and creases.
