Beauty Hacks: 5 Amazing Benefits of Lip Fillers

By Chioma Iwunze-Ibiam

Many people are envious of Angelina Jolie’s plump lips. But it was Kylie Jenner who seemed to give beauty enthusiasts the courage to use lip fillers. Ever since she publicly admitted to having a lip enhancement procedure, the popularity of lip lifts, dermal fillers, and implants sky-rocketed.
Researchers have noted an increase in inquiries, mostly from young people between the ages of 18-24. Every woman wants to enhance her femininity while adding some definition to her face.


This procedure is common amongst people who are born with thin lips. When some people experience thinning as a result of the natural ageing process, they also turn to lip enhancement procedures. Different people have various reasons for using them. But the common goal is to increase volume, add structure, and shape to thin lips.

Lip fillers are arguably one of the risk-free and cost-effective procedures available to beauty enthusiasts. In fact, there is a long list of reasons why fillers are the best way to get fuller, perkier lips, but I will focus on the top 5 benefits of lips fillers.

1. Natural Fullness

One of the amazing benefits of lip fillers is that they look remarkably natural. No one will ever know that you used them. When Kylie Jenner began appearing with lusciously beautiful lips, people in the media speculated a lot about her beauty? Was she using botox or not? No one was sure.

Later in 2015, she broke her silence and admitted to using Juvederm® lip fillers. Her fans were in awe of her appearance, probably because the lip fillers were well-concealed and guaranteed that her lips had a natural look. Research has shown that lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which the human body naturally produces. This explains why the acid doesn’t cause any bruises. Once the body absorbs them, they can be easily replaced so your lips can stay plump and beautiful always. These lip fillers last typically for four to six months.

2. Improved Appearance

Looking good, they say, is good business. Everyone wants to enhance their looks. It is for this reason that people are drawn to lip fillers. Take one look at Kylie Jenner (Kim Kardashian’s half-sister) and Angelina Jolie and all the other celebrities who use them. The transformative effects of lip fillers are undeniable. Plump and luscious lips general gives the face a more youthful appeal.

Sociologists have conducted research studies that reveal a lot about how outward appearance can boost people’s self-esteem. So if you want to feel more confident in your professional and social circles, lip fillers might benefit you a lot.

3. Speedier Recovery

I have heard people ask if it won’t halt their lives for a long time? How long would it take them to recover? It is easy to understand why people have expressed these fears and concerns. Nobody wants to miss school and work just because they have gone to get lip enhancements.

Here’s the truth: Getting lip fillers won’t alter your lifestyle. It involves a minor procedure that allows you to go about your normal daily activities almost immediately, say in twenty-four hours or less.
It is not as disruptive as a major cosmetic surgery. In fact, it is fast becoming the preferable option to other cosmetic surgical options.

4. Gradual Progression 

Another fantastic beauty benefit of natural lip fillers is that they can be introduced little by little until you achieve your desired look.

Many people aren’t really sure they prefer fuller and plump lips, especially because they have lived their whole lives with thin lips. In such a case, they’d try out different doses of fillers until their lips acquire the desired plumpness. All of these can be achieved without the uneasiness of altering the size of an implant. This is actually one of the best benefits for me.

5. Pretty Much Zero Side-Effects 

The problem with most cosmetics surgical operations is the side effects involved. Lip filling is exceptionally safe. In fact, allergic reactions and side effects are very rare especially when hyaluronic acid fillers are used in the procedures.

If you’re planning to get lip fillers, make sure you disclose allergies and other medical habits to the professional. This will serve as a guide for the consultant. The last thing you want is for the expert to choose a filler that contains products you might be allergic to.

To be on the safe side, most doctors will test the effect of the filler by injecting a very small amount onto the patient’s arm. This reduces the risk of having a bigger disaster.

In conclusion, lip enhancements are very common today. But it is important to seek the services of experts in the cosmetic and facial plastic surgical field.
