One of the most common cosmetic procedures to enhance facial features are dermal fillers. Clients prefer to use dermal fillers to enhance and plump their lips. However, people choose to get their lips done without fully understanding the side effects of lip fillers. While plumping up your pout may sound like a great idea, it’s important you consider the potential side effects. Before you go out and get this procedure, Dr. Wassef from the Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery Institute shares a little more about lip filler side effects.
What Can I Expect After Getting Lip Fillers?
You can’t get a procedure without fully understanding what to expect afterward. When it comes to getting dermal fillers for lip enhancement, keep in mind the mild as well as the more severe side effects of lip filler.
What Are Common Lip Surgery Side Effects?
One of the most common lip surgery side effects is mild bruising and swelling. You will most likely experience this for a few days after you get your lip enhancement procedure. Redness will also appear near and around the mouth where your doctor injected the dermal fillers. The redness will reduce within a few days. If you are experiencing prolonged redness, swelling, or severe bruising, call your healthcare provider right away.
What Are Some Serious Side Effects of Lip Fillers?
Before you jump into the trend of lip fillers, there are a few severe side effects you should understand. Learning about the lip filler side effects isn’t meant to scare you but simply to educate you on what could happen afterward. Skin eruptions and lumps might occur after you get lip enhancements. Another severe side effect of lip fillers is itching, which can be a sign of an allergic reaction. Skin damage and scarring near the injection area are also severe side effects of lip fillers. However, one of the most severe potential side effects is vascular occlusion, which happens when there is blockage of the blood vessels. This is very dangerous because vascular occlusion can cause blood clots and lead to dead tissue.
