Can You Feel Filler or Implants in Your Lips After Lip Augmentation?

Question

Do your lips feel like there's something in them after you get lip augmentation done? Will your boyfriend/husband notice that it feel like there's "something in there" when he kisses you?

Andrew P. Trussler, MD · Answer

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.

Farbod Esmailian, MD · Answer

Fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm using are soft and pliable and after the swelling is gone, the area becomes very natural as long as it is injected appropriately. 
With permanent implants you will have a much higher likelihood of feeling the implants.
Hope that helps.

Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD · Answer

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. 
Some fillers are not palpable under normal circumstances, but sometimes they can "clump" and then be felt as a nodule. Silicon, sculptra, radiesse, can do that.
For lip augmentation I prefer Juvederm, if the patient wants a temporary solution, and fat grafts if the patient wants a permanent solution. Neither is palpable.

Thank you for your question. Being able to feel dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid is minimal to nonexistent after the first couple days. As hyaluronic acid is found in the body, in my opinion, these are your safest fillers. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to discuss your concerns and to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Edward E. Dickerson, IV, MD · Answer

Being able to feel dermal fillers or natural fat transfer is minimal to nonexistent after the first couple days. With lip implants there is a possibility that you can feel the implant under some circumstances. However, in the past couple years there has been much improvement with lip implants being more softer and natural feeling.
