What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a type of dermal filler — most commonly composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) — that are carefully injected into the lips to add volume, define shape, and improve lip symmetry.
Because hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, HA‑based fillers are generally well tolerated and unlikely to provoke allergic reactions.
Lip filler is a non‑surgical, minimally invasive procedure, offering a way to enhance lip appearance without the downtime or risks associated with surgical lip augmentation.
Why Do People Choose Lip Fillers?
People often choose lip fillers for a variety of reasons — including:
- To restore lost volume in the lips (for instance due to aging, which can cause lips to become thinner over time).
- To enhance lip shape or symmetry — many individuals have naturally uneven or asymmetrical lips, and filler can help create balance.
- To define lip borders and contours — improving features such as the vermillion border, Cupid’s bow, and the corners of the mouth.
- To soften fine lines around the lips (e.g. “smoker lines” or wrinkles that appear around the mouth).
- To boost confidence and self‑esteem by achieving a look that better matches their aesthetic vision.
Because lip fillers are reversible (with the right medical intervention, e.g. dissolving the filler), many appreciate the flexibility this treatment offers compared to permanent surgical procedures.
The Lip Filler Procedure — What to Expect
1. Pre‑Treatment Consultation
Before any treatment, you will meet with Dr. Tuncay Dagel (or a qualified clinician at our clinic) for a full consultation. During this session, we will:
- Discuss your reasons for wanting lip fillers, what results you expect, and whether those expectations are realistic.
- Review your medical history, allergies, medications, and any prior cosmetic procedures.
- Examine your facial structure and lip anatomy to determine the best approach for your lips — including how much volume to add and where to inject.
- Possibly take “before” photographs to document your baseline lip appearance.
We encourage you to bring photos of lip styles you like — but also to understand that final results will depend on your individual face shape and anatomy.
2. The Injection Session
On the day of treatment:
- A topical anaesthetic (or, if needed, a nerve‑block anaesthetic) is applied to the lips to minimize discomfort.
- After 15–30 minutes, once numbing takes effect, a thin needle (or cannula, depending on the technique) is used to inject the filler. Common injection sites include the lip borders (vermillion border), the center curve of the upper lip (Cupid’s bow), and the corners (oral commissures).
- The total volume injected is carefully controlled — many providers use around 1 mL per session, but the exact amount depends on your natural lip size, desired outcome, and safety considerations.
- The entire procedure usually takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on complexity and whether a topical or nerve‑block anaesthetic is used.
3. Aftercare and Recovery
After injection, it’s normal for lips to be swollen, tender, or bruised.
Recommended aftercare typically includes:
- Applying ice packs intermittently (e.g., for 10 minutes at a time) to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Avoiding lipstick, lip balm, or other lip products for at least 24 hours.
- Not puckering lips, kissing, or using a straw for 24 hours, to avoid displacing filler.
- Being careful while brushing teeth or performing activities that might stretch or press on lips.
- Staying hydrated, and avoiding strenuous exercise or alcohol (which can increase swelling or bruising) for at least 24 hours.
Most swelling and bruising improve within 24–48 hours, though subtle swelling may persist up to a week.
We schedule a follow-up appointment about two weeks after treatment to assess final results while your lips settle and heal.
Benefits of Choosing Lip Fillers
Instant volume and definition — lips appear fuller immediately after treatment.
Improved symmetry and shape — filler allows for correction of asymmetry and enhancement of lip contours tailored to your facial proportions.
Minimally invasive with little downtime — procedure is quick, and recovery is generally easy compared with surgical alternatives.
Reversible and adjustable — since many lip fillers dissolve over time, or can be dissolved medically if necessary, the results are not permanent, giving flexibility.
Hydrated and youthful look — hyaluronic‑acid fillers retain water, helping lips look moisturized and healthy.
Risks, Side Effects & What to Know
As with any cosmetic treatment, lip fillers carry potential risks — though serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified professional.
Common, typically mild side effects:
- Swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites.
- Temporary discomfort or mild pain, usually resolving within 24–48 hours.
- Reactivation of cold sores (herpes simplex) if you are prone to them.
Less common but more serious risks:
- Lip asymmetry, unevenness, lumps or bumps, or an unnatural “over‑filled” look if too much filler is used or if injection technique is poor.
- Infection, if sterility is compromised.
- Migration of filler (filler material shifting outside the lips) or filler spreading beyond intended areas.
- Vascular complications — if filler is mistakenly injected into or compresses a blood vessel, there is a risk of compromised blood flow, tissue damage (necrosis), or other serious outcomes.
Important: The risk of serious complications is greatly reduced when you choose an experienced, licensed medical professional — not a salon or unqualified injector.

What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are dermal injections, usually made of hyaluronic acid (HA), designed to enhance lip volume, shape, and symmetry. They are a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that can create natural-looking, youthful lips.
How do lip fillers work?
Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains water, adding hydration and volume to the lips. The filler is carefully injected by a qualified medical professional to achieve your desired shape while maintaining balance with your facial features.
Does the procedure hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream or nerve block is applied before treatment to ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Mild tenderness or swelling may occur afterward.
How long do lip fillers last?
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the type of filler, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance sessions can help prolong the results.
Are lip fillers reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved safely by a qualified medical professional if you wish to adjust or reverse your results.
What are the common side effects?
Temporary side effects may include:
Swelling and redness
Bruising at injection sites
Mild tenderness or soreness
Rarely, temporary lumps or asymmetry
These usually resolve within a few days to a week.
Who is a good candidate for lip fillers?
Ideal candidates are adults in good health with realistic expectations who want to:
Enhance lip volume or shape
Correct minor asymmetry
Smooth fine lines around the lips
A consultation with Dr. Tuncay Dagel ensures the treatment is tailored to your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
Can lip fillers look natural?
Absolutely. At Fethiye Medical Aesthetics Clinic, we prioritize subtle, natural results that harmonize with your face. The goal is enhancement, not exaggeration.
How should I prepare for lip filler treatment?
Before your appointment:
Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) if approved by your doctor
Refrain from alcohol for 24 hours
Avoid lip treatments or facials on the day of the procedure
Inform us of any medical conditions or allergies
What is the recovery time?
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately. Swelling or bruising may last 1–7 days, and final results typically settle within 2 weeks.
Can lip fillers be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Lip fillers can complement other facial aesthetic treatments, such as cheek or jawline fillers, or wrinkle reduction treatments. Your treatment plan will be personalized for balance and safety.
Are there any risks I should be aware of?
Serious complications are rare when performed by a qualified professional. Risks can include:
Infection
Asymmetry or lumps
Migration of filler
Rare vascular complications
Choosing an experienced, licensed medical injector minimizes risks.
