Lip augmentation has improved greatly

Lip augmentations have improved so much nowdays that it is difficult for anyone to feel or know you have something in your lips whether it be a temporary filler like Juvederm or Restylane ($550-650/syringe @1-2 syringes) or a permanent implant ($1500-2000 per lip). Most fillers look and feel natural after 2-3 days. Implants take a little longer. Nobody kissing you will know but you yourself will feel the implant material for the first 1-2 months, then you become so used to it that you... more

Can you feel filler or implants in your lips after lip augmentation?

Depends on the material used for filler, or the implant. Juvederm and restylane are usually non palpable. Goretex and soft form implants can be palpated. Fat grafts feel natural.

Lip augmentation

Lip augmentation is a very popular procedure and the choices are numerous. Palpability is sometimes a problem with all products, however with injectable hyaluronic acid gels such as Juvederm Ultra Plus this can be minimal. You may notice some fullness to the lips in general, but no real distinct substance in the lip. Implants on the other hand are palpable, though thy are getting softer.

Lip augmentation

If you have a permanent filler like gortex, you may feel it. Facial fillers like Juvederm or restylane is usually threaded in.  Sometimes you feel the product inside your lip.

Can you feel a lip filler?

In most circumstances, you cannot feel a lip filler. Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are both made of hyaluronic acid and feel very soft and natural. Sometimes, it is possible to feel a slight irregularity in some spots even in the best of hands. However, in general, it is usually not a problem. Fat is another filler that can be used for lip augmentation, but it can form granulomas (hard lumps) that can be palpated. Lip implants such as the saline implant can be more palpable. If you... more
