Side Effects and Risks of Lip Fillers
One of the most common questions asked by visitors to beauty clinics concerns the side effects and risks of lip fillers. To begin, let’s briefly explain what lip fillers are.
With the increasing popularity of cosmetic procedures, few people wonder what fillers are or how they are performed. Lip fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to enhance the volume of the lips based on aesthetic standards and facial harmony.
Side Effects and Risks of Lip Fillers
Because lip fillers contain chemical substances, they may cause allergic reactions or, in some cases, serious medical complications. Although consulting a skilled and experienced doctor can greatly reduce these risks, being aware of them is important.
Common and Temporary Side Effects
Swelling and bruising, which are common and natural physical reactions to lip filler injections.
Short-term redness at the injection site, sometimes accompanied by sensitivity.
Pain or pressure, especially during the first few days after the procedure.
Small lumps or unevenness, which usually disappear with massage or minor corrective treatment.
Less Common Side Effects
Infection: May occur if post-treatment care is neglected or non-sterile needles are used.
Allergic reactions: May happen if the patient is allergic to filler components or lidocaine (the numbing agent).
Nodules or lumps: Can appear if the injection is performed improperly, leading to firmness under the skin.
Asymmetry: Can result from uneven absorption of the filler or non-uniform injection.
Serious Risks of Lip Filler Injections
Vascular blockage: May occur if filler enters a blood vessel or compresses it, leading to bruising, severe pain, or even skin necrosis.
Filler migration: The filler may move to nearby areas, causing unnatural facial appearance.
Vision problems: If filler reaches blood vessels near the eyes, it can cause vision loss or even blindness in severe cases.
Reduced blood flow: One of the rare but serious risks where pressure on blood vessels reduces oxygen supply, leading to tissue death.
How to Reduce the Risks
Choosing a qualified and experienced doctor significantly reduces complications. Using safe and approved filler products also minimizes risks.
Patients should follow post-care guidelines—avoid alcohol, drugs, and strenuous activities—and consult their doctor if they experience discomfort or unusual symptoms.
