Lip Fillers

When you contact us at CIDK for an appointment, please know that our top priority is helping you reach your beauty goals and gain confidence in that while preserving your natural appearance. Before the procedure you will have a personalized consultation with Doctor in CIDK to raise your questions and concerns, as well as discuss your goals. Everybody is different and Doctor in CIDK will provide you with a perfectly tailored treatment plan choosing the filler and technique that will work best for your unique lip type. There is not an exclusive lip filler brand or company that we stick to at CIDK. However, we are fully committed to carefully designing the treatment process that will bring forth your natural beauty. At CIDK we direct our efforts towards giving our patients the natural looking plump lips that meet their needs and their overall looks and style.

Beautiful lips can be created by a number of techniques and styles. At CIDK we don’t think that all the different types of lips can be treated by one single approach being the perfect lip filler. We take into consideration the lip anatomy of each and every one of our patients and take that as a starting point for the whole process.

In general, Doctor in CIDK makes use of a wide variety of lip fillers and techniques taking into consideration patients’ individual needs. The Russian lip, using Juvederm or Belotero, is among one of our most popular lip filler techniques and is known for its voluminous and defined yet natural result. This technique requires a special skill set and that is another reason why CIDK is recognized as one of the best places for CIDK lip augmentation. After a careful assessment at your personalized consultation with Doctor in CIDK, you will know what is the best kind of lip filler for your unique lip type.

Modern lip fillers are different from the pioneering ones which were mere liquid silicone injections that were banned not long after their introduction to the market. It became known that liquid silicone poses serious dangers to a patient’s health. This opened a way for the most popular material of nowadays’ dermal fillers – hyaluronic acids.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the human body and is used in some sera and skin care products that you may have heard of or used. When injected under the skin it is combined with water, which is what creates volume. Being completely safe, Hyaluronic acid fillers provide results that last from 6 to 12 months. There are several different kinds of hyaluronic acid fillers including, Juvederm (Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, Ultra XC), Restylane (Silk, Kysse), Belotero, Revanesse, and Teosyal.

When it comes to Hyaluronic acid fillers, there is not a best type of lip filler, as most of them can be used for lip injections. There are a couple of brands, though, that are the best known and most used, e.g. Juvederm or Belotero. If you can’t decide on what filler to choose for your lips, make sure to ask for the professional opinion of a lip injections dermatologist. The one thing that you want to make sure is that you are provided with board certified lip injections carried out by an experienced professional who confirms that you are getting the right filler.

The general purpose of good lip injections is adding volume to your lips and making them plump. This is a good way out for those who have insecurities related to their lips and want to add some volume with top lip fillers, as well as those whose lips have lost volume with age. There are also people who choose the most natural looking lip injections to tackle the lip asymmetry that they have.

What’s the best lip filler? There is not a definite answer to this question as people’s lips have different shapes and there is no single filler that suits everyone. There is a wide variety of lip fillers, let alone the number of techniques used to give the lips a specific shape and form. However, if you want to get the best lip injections in DUBAI, make sure to choose a board-certified injector with plenty of experience in the field. Below you can find some information on different kinds of lip fillers in case you want more details about each of them.

• Juvederm: the most popular and well known hyaluronic acid lip filler, gives volume and results in the famous pouty lips DUBAI.
• Juvederm Voluma: used for some extra volume, usually lasts longer than regular Juvederm.
• Juvederm Volbella: commonly used to refine the lip shape and cupid’s bow.
• Restylane: mostly used to craft more subtle and natural-looking lips. Restylane Kysse is a part of the rose lip technique for beautiful subtle lip injections.
• Restylane Silk: mainly used to tackle fine lines and around the mouth wrinkles, e.g. smokers lines.
• Restylane Kysse: gives volume and addresses fine lines around the mouth.
• Belotero: mostly used for fine lines and wrinkles, also gives some volume.

If your are trying to find out where to get temporary lip fillers, go with hyaluronic acid based fillers. Hyaluronic acids are always temporary, their effect lasting from 6 to 12 months. They are also dissolvable using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase, that instantly reverses the effects of all the hyaluronic acids. However, there are people who prefer even milder and temporary options such as a botox lip lift , also known as a lip flip. The latter is a rather subtle lip augmentation that implies injection of 5 – 10 botox units right above the top lip. This creates a “flip” and makes the top lip fuller. The result lasts from 3 to 5 months. However, you need to know that botox is not dissolvable and will have to be metabolized by the body for the results to gradually go away.

There’s a widespread concern among patients that their lips may not look nice or may be stretched after the fading of their lip filler. The good news is that lip fillers do not stretch out the lips as they go down. You can check out temporary lip fillers before and after photos, to see how lips look before lip fillers once they have faded. To stretch your lips and damage their natural form, an abnormal amount of lip filler would have to be injected into the lip. The majority of lip fillers that can be found in DUBAI are natural lip injections that have a natural plump.

There may be some discomfort, bruising, or swelling for 3-5 days after getting your Dubai lip augmentation. It is not advised to touch or rub your lips until the filler is completely settled to avoid migration of the filler. On the first day of injection, be sure to apply a cold compress to reduce the discomfort and/or swelling. Also be sure not to heat the treated area to reduce the swelling from lip injections. Make sure to avoid working out for 2-3 days after the procedure to allow the filler to fully settle.

If you have an intention of getting that large look with lip fillers, be sure to ice your lips to avoid excess swelling. Apply cold compress and try not to touch it as much as possible until the filler is fully settled. If there is bruising on your lips, a warm compress on the second day will help it subside. The entire process can take more than a week based on the severity of bruising and how quickly your body heals. With a new lip filler you may go through some discomfort. You may feel the need to touch or lick your lips after the injections, but try not to mess with your lips. Be patient until the filler is settled in order to avoid filler migration.

It is highly recommended that your injector is a well-trained, board-certified doctor with extensive experience in the field. This doctor will know what is the best lip filler for you. While it is not necessary for the injector to be an MD, the majority of patients prefer to be injected by a doctor who is experienced in general medicine.

The very first lip fillers that entered the market were permanent, made of liquid silicone, that are officially banned and out of the market. The consequences of liquid silicone proved to be negative and sometimes even fatal and can only be removed through surgical intervention. Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent, but are absolutely safe and extremely low risk. If you want to have the best experience in lip injections then be sure to request a hyaluronic acid filler.

If performed by a professional who is medically trained and board-certified or is known to be the best lip augmentation surgeon of that area, then yes, getting a lip filler is generally safe and low in risk. You should always go for hyaluronic acid when choosing the product to be used for your lips, whether you want a subtle lip filler or a top lip filler, to keep the results smooth and reversible.

Make sure your injector gives you all the aftercare information to avoid excessive swelling and bruising and to make sure that your filler heals as it should. Be sure to ask your doctor all of your post care questions, e.g. how to reduce swelling in lip fillers, and whether you can wear lipstick after Juvederm, so you can leave the clinic with peace in mind.

Before you schedule an appointment, go the extra mile and do plenty of research on your clinic and injector to make sure that you find the best doctors for lip fillers in DUBAI that will ensure the most beautiful and uncompromising results on your lips.

While complications with lip fillers are rare, they are possible and should be discussed with your provider. Some of the relatively more common side effects include displacement or migration of the filler, formation of small nodules, skin irritation, or infection. Such complications can arise even when the procedure is carried out by the most skilled injectors. However, the difference between an under-trained injector and a board certified doctor is the way they handle the undesired and unexpected complications.

If your doctor is well-experienced and properly educated, they will know exactly how to handle the situation. You will be provided with simple and manageable post-procedural instructions, such as not touching your lips right after the procedure and postponing certain activities like working out. A knowledgeable doctor will make sure to inform you that the final outcome should not be judged based on the initial results, because fillers take time to settle. It is also very important to book a follow-up appointment with your doctor one week following the procedure to make sure that everything is nicely settled and goes according to plan. You could easily check the before and after juvederm lip injection photos to see the normal and acceptable results compared to abnormalities.

Swelling and bruising is completely normal immediately after the procedure. Allow your lips to heal for 3 – 5 days before you start worrying about the appearance of them. They will be swollen and the way that they look during the first few days after the treatment does not reflect the final result. Be sure to inform your doctor of any abnormalities or concerns to make sure that everything is healing as it should be.

The initial swelling after the lip injection procedure may be stressful to those who have never experienced it before. Sometimes lips can become disproportionately large or even asymmetrical on the first days following the injection, which may seem concerning to some. Keep in mind that this is a normal reaction as the hyaluronic acid may bring forth an intense inflammatory response and some parts of the lip can look lopsided. There can also be a dramatic increase in volume extending above the vermillion border and creating the “duck lip” effect that most people try to avoid. In most cases, this takes a few days to resolve without any consequences. Finally, there are certain lip fillers that are more likely to form small knots and lumps in the lip area. This may seem alarming to you if you have never had a lip filler before, however, the knots and lumps can be completely eliminated through massaging the area in most of the cases.

With all of this said we recommend choosing an experienced and ideally a board certified doctor for all your lip augmentation needs. Having a trained and knowledgeable professional by your side will help to avoid potentially stressful situations.

People tend to think that lip fillers are more popular among women, however, there are plenty of men who undergo this procedure to add more volume to their lips. Men are posed to the same aging effects as women, including the loss of volume and dehydration of the lips. Men generally also have thinner lips than women, which actually makes it common among male patients to get top lip injections to give a fuller appearance to the top lip only.

The concern about lip fillers resulting in a fake and ducky look is based on a common misconception. And this misconception is widespread among men who want to add a little bit of volume to a thin lip. However, if properly administered by a board certified physician, lip fillers can go unnoticed. There is a big chance you’ve come across a far greater number of filled lips that you would imagine. Skillful injections carried out by the perfect technique can result in a very mild touch of fullness in your lips, without a trace of anything fake or ducky-looking.

Ultimately, nothing can replace a traditional hyaluronic acid lip filler. However, there are some alternative options for those who are not yet ready to have a full or even half syringe injected into their lips. One of those options is the “lip flip”. This is a subtle augmentation to the upper lip in which 5 – 10 units of Botox are injected right above the vermillion border. The circular lip muscle relaxes due to the neurotoxin, resulting in the top lip slightly turning upwards and getting a fuller and more voluminous appearance. This augmentation does not work effectively on everyone and will not replicate the results of a genuine lip filler.

Laser lip enhancement is among the other treatments that claim to make the lips fuller and plumper without injections. These types of treatments are very beneficial for the skin, but not the best option for adding volume to the lips.

As for needleless “lip fillers”, e.g. the hyaluron pen, which promises the same results as a regular lip filler minus the injections, the results will be different, will not last longer than a week, and do not compare to an actual injectable lip filler. You should also know that hyaluron pen needleless injections don’t guarantee any precision or control as is the case with standard lip fillers. They are typically carried out by unlicensed swindlers making this procedure possibly very dangerous. Therefore, the best solution for those who want to get an authentic lip enhancement in Dubai is finding a reputable cosmetic surgeon and getting their safe lip injection with a beautiful outcome.

Some people have a so-called gummy smile. This term is used to characterize the feature when the top lip lifts so much as to show too much of your gums and full teeth. There are people who are insecure about their gummy smile. A good way to make the smile less “gummy” is having a Botox injection to relax that muscle. Gummy smiles are not treated with a lip filler.

A lip flip is different from a lip filler, however it can be paired with a lip filler or used on its own. The effect of a lip flip is a mild lift to the top lip. You will need a few injections of 5 – 10 units of Botox above the vermillion border, that will result in a little upward flip and give the top lip a fuller appearance. Please note that a lip flip cannot compare to a lip filler in terms of the end result. However, it is a nice way of adding a little plump to the top lip.

Lip augmentation is an advanced non-surgical procedure that you should leave to doctors with extensive experience only. Being a highly vascular organ, lips can get bruised in numerous ways. It is important for your doctor to thoroughly understand the detailed anatomy of the lips in order to avoid any unsatisfactory consequences. The consequences of bruising a small vein are minimal, while a bruise caused by artery perforation can have serious consequences if not immediately identified. The effects of minor discoloration are short-term with quicker healing time compared to a perforated vessel. Highly skilled professionals master the vascular lip map and will avoid these danger zones.

Lips injections are certainly not pleasant, however discomfort can be reduced with the application of topical numbing creams that contain lidocaine. The numbing cream is applied approximately fifteen minutes before the procedure to make sure the discomfort levels are minimized. There are people who want to get half a syringe lip filler DUBAI assuming it will make the experience less painful. This is not true, the amount of the filler injected will not increase or decrease the pain level.

The procedure takes up to 30 minutes and is mostly painless. However, you may feel some stinging, depending on your pain tolerance.

Lip reduction DUBAI is a procedure that implies reduction of the patient’s lip size by means of surgical intervention. There are people with large lips who prefer having their lips smaller, which is when lip reduction surgery is administered.
Being a board-certified physician based in DUBAI and specialized in minimally invasive cosmetic surgery, Doctor in CIDK is among the few experts in the field of natural looking lip augmentation procedures. 

If your lips turned out plumper than expected, leaving you unsatisfied with your results, then you are most likely searching to find out if “lip filler is temporary ” and are looking for ways to reverse the effects. Not to worry – hyaluronic acid lip fillers are temporary and dissolvable. A hyaluronidase injection will reverse the effect of the filler and can be administered any time after the initial injection for the effect of the filler to immediately be reversed.

Do not underestimate the importance of working with a board-certified physician as dissolving fillers is not a piece of cake. Lips have many layers and the hyaluronidase must be injected into the exact layer with the hyaluronic acid gel. At CIDK, we regularly dissolve lip fillers that were claimed to be already dissolved and a lot of product is still left undissolved by less experienced practitioners.

Most people are good candidates for lip fillers. Make sure to consult with a board-certified doctor who is well rounded and experienced in the field, communicating to them your overall goals, questions, and concerns. The right specialist will help you decide on which filler, technique and approach to use that will meet all of your needs. Keep in mind that there are a number of ways to inject lip fillers and that there is not a “one size fits all” solution that will match all lips. You should first identify your motive and end-goal and then decide whether you want to get lip fillers and what kind of style you prefer. Is it more confidence that you want to gain? Is it something new that you want to experience? Are you driven by others’ opinions?

If you really want it and refreshed and plump lips will make you happier, then go ahead and get you lip filler!

It would be better if you waited for a full day after getting the lip filler injections before applying anything on your lips, however you may wear lipstick 30 minutes after the procedure.

In general, you would not harm yourself if you wore makeup or lipstick after lip fillers. The only precondition is giving it half an hour after the procedure as the injection sites are essentially open wounds that should not get makeup in them.

This is a very common question among the patients after they get their lips done. The answer is yes. However, please do wait for at least half an hour after the procedure before you apply the lipstick. If you can help it, skip the lipstick for a full day.
