Do lip fillers look and feel real?

Question

I know some lip fillers look very natural and others not so much. However, I want to know if they feel real, like if it's possible to tell if someone had their lips done just by kissing them?

Hi there and thanks for your question.  Lip injections are a great way to enhance your own lips.  Most patients want a natural look, which can be achieved by an experienced injector.  There are many injection techniques and types of fillers that can be used to achieve your desired result.  Fillers should feel natural in the lip, however there is the possibility of acquiring lumps/bumps from a buildup of the product.  The HA products are very malleable and can be smoothed out.  I recommend finding an experienced lip injector for the best possible results. Best of luck!

Lip augmentations with fillers is a great option to improve the fullness, suppleness and symmetry of the lips. Results can be very natural-looking and will feel very natural. I prefer to use a micro cannula to inject the lips to prevent bruising. Look for a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is an expert in fillers. 
I hope this helps.

Hello and thank you for your question.  First of all the most important factor in lip augmentation is not what is injected but rather the knowledge and experience of the injector. Personally, I like Juvederm Ultra XC in the lips. When injected appropriately (not "ducking") your boyfriend would be hard pressed to know by kissing you. Investigate and ask questions. Look for post injection photos to assist you in you selection process. Best of luck to you.

Hello
and thank you for your question.  A lip augmentation is a cosmetic
procedure that uses an injectable dermal filler to enhance the appearance of
your lips. The procedure is designed for anyone who is not satisfied with the
appearance of their lips, and for patients who want more appealing, plumper
lips.  In the hands of an experienced injector a beautiful and natural look and feel can be achieved. 
Hyaluronic
acid filers such as Juvederm and Restylane are the two most common dermal
fillers that are used to create fuller lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally
occurring sugar that gives the skin its natural elasticity and volume. Like
collagen, hyaluronic acid decreases over time, and skin begins to lose its
volume. An ultra-fine needle is used to inject the material into the lips and
along the edge of the lips to make your lips fuller and plumper. Although the
results are not permanent, you can expect your lips to retain the plump
fullness for up to six months.  I recommend scheduling a consultation
with an experienced physician to discuss your options.
Best
of luck to you
