Top 4 Misconceptions Surrounding Lip Injections

With the popularity of lip injections on the rise, we’ve been hearing a lot of misconceptions about this simple yet effective procedure. To answer your most obvious question: No, you probably won’t walk out of your first lip injection looking like Kylie Jenner’s doppelgänger, but we actually think that’s a good thing. The goal of injections is to enhance your face, not give you someone else’s.

To help you get a better understand of lip injections, here are the top misconceptions surrounding the procedure.

Misconception One: The Pain Is Too Excruciating To Handle

Lip injections are actually painless. Well, technically speaking, that is. You won’t feel the actual plumping solution being injected to your lips. Before the procedure, your doctor will inject a numbing solution so that you don’t feel anything. We aren’t going to say that this part doesn’t sting – it does – but most clients find the pain to be less than they anticipated. It’s bearable, we swear.

Misconception Two: I’ll Look Like A Ridiculous, Overly Plumped Real Housewives Disaster

No reputable doctor is going to inject a first time patient with a copious amount of plumper. When you see women on reality television whose pouts are practically parodies, you have to remember that they specifically requested that cartoonish, over-the-top look. Your doctor will be aiming to make your lips look like your lips, just slightly better. Natural is always the default goal unless the patient requests otherwise.

Misconception Three: If They Turn Out Wrong, I’m Stuck Like That

Don’t worry. If you hate the results, your doctor can inject you with a solution that will make the plumper dissolve almost instantly. However, the odds of you hating your new lips are low, since the goal will always be to give you a natural and subtle enhancement.

Misconception Four: Lip Injections Permanently Alter Your Lips

Depending on which plumping solution you use and your body chemistry, your lip injections will most likely last anywhere from four to eight months. While many panic that lip injections will permanently change the appearance of their lips, this is simply not the case. Believe us, there are plenty of lip injection devotees who wish their results would last forever. Sadly for them, this can only be accomplished with permanent fat injections and even those only last permanently in about 50% of patients.

Remember, you don’t have to commit to injections right away. Consider coming in for a consultation to learn more about this procedure and others.
