How Lip Fillers Can Mimic Makeup

Lip Fillers in Washington DC

While one of the key benefits of dermal fillers is augmenting lip size, they can offer a number of other enhancements.

In fact, the current trend of lip injections sees many leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists using fillers to mimic the effects of makeup.

These applications add definition, hydration, contour, and fullness with minimal amounts of product.

Best of all, patients can achieve the perfect pout for six-to-12 months and downsize their daily makeup routine in the process.

So, can fillers help you get makeup-free lips?

Here’s how lip injections can take the place of your liner, gloss, highlighter, and contour.

How Can Fillers Define Lips and Create the Look of Your Favorite Liner?

Many women apply lip liner every day to recreate the natural contours of their lips and to keep lipstick from bleeding.

Using microdoses of hyaluronic acid, leading injectors can use lip fillers to define the border of lips, which tends to diminish with age.

This technique brings structure to the lips with a minimal amount of product, and benefits can last six-to-12 months.

Can You Get Glossy Lips From Lip Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that naturally occurs in the body and can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. However, its production decreases over time, leaving lips drier and thinner.

Fortunately, dermal fillers injected just below the surface can rehydrate lips by attracting moisture to the mucous membrane.

As a result, lips take on a light sheen and look as though they’ve recently been glossed.

How Can Fillers Boost Your Cupid’s Bow Like Highlighter?

Highlighter is often applied to illuminate and accentuate the cupid’s bow of the lips for a more youthful appearance.

Similarly, a denser hyaluronic acid filler like Restylane Lyft can be injected at the top of the cupid’s bow and on the sides of the philtrum to produce the same effect.

What’s more, restoring volume to this portion of the lips can also make augmented lips look more natural, as it prevents the top lip from appearing too straight.

How Can You Contour Lips With Filler?

Just as many women use a tiny amount of lip gloss in the center of their bottom lip to make it look more pillowy, lip filler can be injected in this manner for a slight plumping.

Some injectors even add filler to the chin in order to bring the lower lip forward to achieve the desired outcome without using a large amount of product.
