Lip Fillers Singapore

Lip fillers have surged in popularity as a minimally invasive solution to enhance lip volume and contour, providing immediate aesthetic improvements.

This detailed guide covers all you need to know about lip fillers, from the types available to the procedure itself, potential risks, aftercare, and frequently asked questions.

Currently, the most popular fillers are products with hyaluronic acid-like compounds.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural chemical found in the body. It is an effective ingredient to help boost your lip volume.

Having a perfect pair of lips is undeniably attractive and can enhance your facial features.

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are dermal fillers injections that enhance lip shape, volume, and definition.

The injections are generally composed of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural chemical produced in our body.

Typically, lip fillers last from 4 months to 1 year and can be easily dissolvable if results do not meet expectations.

Depending on the desired type of look, the lips can be augmented to a full pout or a more structured, balanced, ‘natural’ form.

Unlike permanent implants, modern lip fillers are non-surgical, reversible, and offer subtle enhancement with minimal downtime.
