I'm thinking of getting lip fillers for the first time, so I have a few questions.
My lips are naturally thin and lack volume, so I am considering lip fillers. In particular, my upper lip is much thinner than my lower lip, and my Cupid's bow isn't distinct, so my lips look flat overall. I try to compensate for this to some extent with lip products, but it bothers me that my lips look too small when I'm not wearing makeup.
Since this is my first time getting lip fillers, I am wondering how much volume should be injected to achieve a natural result. Rather than simply adding a lot of volume, I would like my lips to become slightly fuller while maintaining their original shape. Is the amount injected into the upper and lower lips usually adjusted differently?
I am also curious if bruising or swelling lasts a long time, as the lips are a highly mobile area with thin skin. I am concerned about the possibility of the filler clumping or becoming uneven. I would like to know how long the effects last and whether touch-ups are frequently necessary after the procedure. I would like to ask the clinic staff what specific points I should focus on during the consultation if I want a natural-looking lip shape.

- 01CommentsThe forehead and glabella are areas prone to developing fixed wrinkles due to repeated muscle folding during facial expressions, so it is truly wise to manage these areas proactively as a preventative measure! Generally, receiving wrinkle Botox every 3 to 4 months—timed to allow muscle movement to gradually return to normal—naturally prevents wrinkles from deepening. Xeomin is highly preferred because it is a pure toxin purified from complex proteins, which minimizes concerns about antibody formation or resistance with repeated treatments. You may wash your face and apply light makeup 3 to 4 hours after the procedure, but it is recommended to avoid saunas, excessive alcohol consumption, and strenuous exercise for about a week to prevent drug diffusion. During your consultation with the doctor, please ask them to adjust the dosage to a natural level that matches your eyebrow movements!560026.11.07

- 02CommentsI also got a consultation because I was told I looked tired due to defined lines under my cheekbones when I was expressionless. They told me that nasolabial folds need to be considered in conjunction with cheek hollowing or sagging. Since Botox alone might not solve the problem, make sure to ask about concerns regarding facial movements during your consultation. As someone who had a reality check to see if massages could smooth them out, I think it's faster to just see a professional.3840026.11.04
