Lips and Cheeks: Make Them Look Great With Fillers, NYC Edition

Many of us all over the world are constantly stressed — if not depressed — because we don’t know how to deal with the ravages of time. The ravages we’re talking about here are the ones associated with deteriorating looks. And it’s true — nobody escapes the fate of time. On the other hand, it might not be just the age-related stuff, it might be a number of different issues that are simply appearance-related that make people become stressed and negative about their lives. But the question we should be asking ourselves is this: is there any need to get depressed about these things? The answer we’re going to give you: probably not, because the relatively recent scientific developments have yielded a wide spectrum of substances that allow for much better looks.

While aging is a natural process, there are options to reduce the appearance of signs of aging, in addition to non-age-related insecurities that we may have, for example, lips or cheeks that lack volume. Most of these issues can be addressed with a little bit of filler, using the Russian lip technique for a nice voluminous lip, or a little bit of cheek filler to give your face a nice contour

Whatever it is you’re looking for it’s important to choose a clinic with a well-established reputation. The way you can do that is simply by looking at various reviews — such as Google ones — to learn what the others have to say about all the different clinics available. One clinic that has a very solid reputation is MiracleFace MedSpa — you can check its reviews as well as the various treatments it has to offer. 

But let’s get back to lips and cheeks. We’ve compiled the following information to help you get informed about the various treatments available to you.

So let’s get going…

Juvederm: Intro 

 

 

Unlike a lot of the other injectables that are available on the market, Juvederm is an injection that is based on something that’s called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is natural in that it occurs in our bodies and what it does it retains water in our bodies to keep it moist. This allows our skin to stay very elastic and hence look young. 

The way in which Juvederm works is it uses this hyaluronic acid and acts like a sponge. What is meant by sponge is this: the amount of the acid in the syringe will expand by 4 to 5 times when it is injected into the problematic area. What this substance will do is a miracle of a sort: this sponge will inflate under the skin to bring back lost volume by replacing fat and give support to overlying skin. 

Juvederm for cheeks 

 

 

We’ve just talked about how Juvederm is able to give the lost volume back to parts of your body by replacing fat in that area. Well, one particular type of Juvederm, called Juvederm Voluma, is used extensively for cheeks. 

As we age, it’s normal for our skin to lose firmness, moisture as well as volume. Cheeks are not immune to these ravages of time. So, if you have sunken cheeks, it is probably because they lost fat. With Juvederm injection, you’ll see these disappear pretty quickly. 

Juvederm for lips 

 

 

We hope you haven’t forgotten the principle on which the workings of Juvederm are based. And if you haven’t, it will come as no surprise to you that Juvederem is used extensively to augment one’s lips. 

People’s lips might become unappealing to them not necessarily because they’ve aged. It might just be that you will feel more comfortable with lips that look a little bigger. Well, if you want that, Juvederm is a perfect option because — as you definitely remember it — Juvederm uses a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies. The results you will receive (by the way, you’ll see those very quickly) are voluminous, plump lips. 

It’s good to know that there are a few Juvederm types that are used for lip augmentation. Some of those are Juvederm Lip Injections and Juvederm Ultra. Your doctor will help you decide which one is the best option specifically for you. So make sure to go to a well-qualified specialist you will fully trust. In NYC, one clinic with accredited doctors who are loved by their patients is MiracleFace MedSpa.  

Lip Fillers 

 

 

Even though we’ve discussed Juvederm, it’s important to go back a little bit and have a more generic conversation about lip filler. 

First thing first, lip filling is a relatively easy procedure. A needle is placed in your lips and the filler is injected. No need to worry about the needle — the process is pretty painless as your doctors will apply local anesthetics such as lidocaine. The whole procedure will take around 30 minutes. 

People wonder quite a lot about whether their lips will look fake or weird. The answer is no, — if the whole thing is performed by a well-qualified doctor — you shouldn’t worry about the strange feel or the look of your lips. In fact the lips will be very natural all the while plump and attractive. 

The great thing about these lip fillers is that you will see the results almost immediately. While it’s true that you will almost definitely have a little bit  of swelling, it will be gone in a day or two but your lips will stay voluminous for quite a bit of time. Just to open up the brackets, for quite a bit of time in this context is 6 to 9 months. Yes, lip fillers stay around for as little as half a year. So, it’s not something you’d need to re-do every month.

 As for the side effect, again nothing major here (however, remember: to avoid major side effects you need to go to a true professional), only a little bit of swelling in the area. The bruising is usually a few spots of black or blue. You can easily cover it up with make up because in a day or two the bruising will be gone.

Final Thoughts

 

 

We hope this extensive discussion we’ve had will give you plenty to think about and finally decide whether you want to use one of the available fillers, be it for lips or cheeks.
