The Truth About Lip Filler Injections: Myths vs Facts

Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Geige, a medical doctor at It’s Me & You Clinic. Lip filler injections have become increasingly popular, but with that popularity comes a host of myths and misconceptions. As a medical professional, I want to dispel the myths and share the facts, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your decisions. If you’re curious about lip fillers or want to learn more, I’d love to meet you—book a consultation here.

Myth 1: Lip Fillers Always Look Overdone

Fact

Natural results are entirely possible when done by a skilled professional.

One of the most common fears is that lip fillers will make your lips look unnaturally large or “duck-like.” The truth is, when applied carefully, lip fillers can subtly enhance your natural shape, adding volume and definition without looking obvious. At It’s Me & You Clinic, I focus on tailoring each treatment to your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals to ensure a natural, harmonious appearance.

Myth 2: Lip Filler Injections Are Painful

Fact

Numbing agents significantly reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Many people worry that lip filler treatments will be painful, but modern techniques have made the process surprisingly comfortable. Before the injections, I apply a high-quality numbing cream to the lips to minimise discomfort. Most of my patients describe the sensation as a mild pinch or pressure, rather than pain.

Myth 3: Lip Fillers Are Permanent

Fact

Lip fillers are temporary and fade naturally over time.

A common misconception is that lip fillers last forever. In reality, most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body. Over time, the filler is gradually broken down and absorbed, typically lasting between 6 to 12 months depending on individual factors. This gives you the flexibility to adjust or refine your look.

Myth 4: Lip Fillers Are Only for Young People

Fact

People of all ages can benefit from lip fillers for various reasons.

While younger individuals may seek lip fillers to enhance their pout, older clients often use fillers to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, or redefine their lip contour. Age is not a barrier—whether you’re enhancing or rejuvenating, lip fillers can be tailored to meet your unique needs.

Myth 5: Lip Fillers Are Unsafe

Fact

Lip fillers are safe when administered by a qualified medical professional.

Safety is a top priority at It’s Me & You Clinic. I use only high-quality, medically approved dermal fillers, and every procedure is carried out in a clinical, sterile environment. Choosing a qualified practitioner ensures that the procedure is both safe and effective.

Myth 6: Lip Fillers Will Stretch or Damage Your Lips

Fact

Properly administered fillers do not cause long-term damage to the lips.

Another common myth is that fillers will permanently stretch or damage the lips. When done correctly, lip fillers maintain the integrity of your natural lip tissue. In fact, the body gradually absorbs the filler, leaving your lips as they were if you choose not to continue treatments.

Myth 7: All Lip Fillers Are the Same

Fact

Different types of fillers offer varying results.

Not all lip fillers are created equal. There are different formulations designed to achieve different outcomes, whether it’s adding subtle volume, enhancing hydration, or providing a more dramatic effect. At It’s Me & You Clinic, I’ll recommend the best option based on your specific goals and needs.
