With the mind-blowing advances in the field of cosmetic surgery, more and more people are flocking to get their desired looks. Injectable lip fillers are an especially popular request as the results are natural looking, the process is simple and the recovery time is fast and easy. Here are three things you can expect when going in for injectable lip fillers and what you can expect in the process.

The Look You're Going For

Before you book your appointment, be sure to have a few examples ready of what you want your finished results to look like. Having an idea of what you'd like to have done is a great way for you to get the look that you're going for without any surprises. When you speak to your technician, they will go over these requests and also perform an inspection of your lips to get an idea of what your natural shape looks like. They may then recommend a treatment that would be suitable for your face shape while taking into consideration your goals and comfort level with the procedure. 

A Simple and Speedy Process

The process of getting lip fillers is extremely easy and done in very little time. Treatments don't take too long and are, for the most part, a painless process. A numbing agent may be used on your lips before the injections and in some cases, a nerve block may be required. This will guarantee that your procedure is at a level where you are feeling comfortable and free of pain. Several injections will be placed in the area to give the finished product a more natural look. If you are feeling at all nervous or concerned prior to the procedure, simply let your technician know ahead of time so they are able to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward. 

Recovery and Aftercare

One of the best things about getting injectable fillers is that recovery is simple. Required downtime following the procedure is virtually nonexistent and you can easily resume your typical activities immediately following your appointment. Aftercare will typically depend on the type of treatment you received and the type and amount of filler you chose. Avoiding exerting yourself for the next day, for example, is a typical recommendation by technicians to ensure that swelling does not become an issue. You may also be asked to massage the treated area a few times a day for several weeks as well.
