Tiếng ViệtWith many years of experience in the field of aesthetics, Hbio Clinic receives many questions about “Is it possible to thin thick lips with injections?” Based on practical experience from clinical cases at HBIO Clinic, this article will provide accurate answers from a medical perspective regarding effectiveness, safety, and recovery time, giving you the most comprehensive view before deciding to enhance your beauty.
Is it possible to thin thick lips with injections?
It is entirely possible to thin thick lips with injections; however, the effectiveness depends on the cause of the thick lips and the appropriate intervention technique.
In cases where thick lips are due to previous lip filler injections, the doctor will assess the amount of filler remaining and proceed with adjustment or lip dissolution injections to reduce lip volume. After the lips return to a balanced state, a natural, thin lip shape that harmonizes with the face can be reshaped if the client desires.
For naturally thick lips (due to lip structure and muscle), filler injections cannot significantly thin them. In this case, the doctor can only slightly adjust the lip contour to make the lips look neater, or advise on lip augmentation surgery if the client desires a more dramatic change.
Therefore, to know exactly whether lip filler injections are suitable for thick lips, you need a direct consultation with a specialist to choose a safe method that provides optimal aesthetic results.
Popular and Beautiful Thin Lip Shapes Today
The current aesthetic trend no longer favors overly thick lips, but instead favors naturally thin, delicate lips that make the face look softer and more refined. Depending on your facial features and personal style, you can choose one of the following beautiful lip filler shapes to enhance your unique beauty.
Natural Thin Lip Shape
This lip shape maintains a moderate thinness, with a soft, balanced lip contour between the upper and lower lips. Suitable for many face shapes, providing a gentle, natural look without revealing any signs of cosmetic surgery.
Heart-shaped lips
Characterized by a clearly defined heart-shaped groove in the upper lip and a neat, harmonious lower lip. Heart-shaped lip injections help the face look younger, more feminine, and create an attractive focal point for the smile.
Thin lips with a slight smile
This lip shape has slightly upturned corners, creating a fresh and friendly look. It’s a popular choice because it gives a radiant appearance even when not smiling.
How much does lip augmentation to reduce thickness cost?
The cost of lip augmentation to reduce thickness usually varies depending on the condition of the lips and the amount of filler needed. Generally, the price at reputable clinics ranges from 1,500,000 to 5,000,000 VND per injection.
The price may be higher if it requires dissolving the old filler before creating the new lip shape or if it’s combined with other techniques to achieve a more natural result.
To find out the exact cost of lip thinning injections for your specific case, it’s best to have a direct consultation at a reputable clinic so that a doctor can provide specific advice and a suitable price quote.
Is lip thinning injection painful? Are there any dangers or complications?
In reality, to transform thick lips into thin lips using injections, doctors usually perform filler dissolution injections (if the lips are thick due to previous over-injections) or filler shaping injections to narrow the lip contour, creating a thinner and more delicate lip effect.
- Regarding pain: Lip injections are generally considered to be minimally painful and tolerable. Before the procedure, you will be given a specialized anesthetic for about 20-30 minutes. The injection process is very quick; you will only feel a slight tingling sensation like an ant bite at the needle tip. After the anesthetic wears off, the lips may feel slightly tight or sore for the first few hours.
- Regarding safety and complications: This method is very safe if performed by a qualified doctor. However, if injections are given at unlicensed facilities or using substances of unknown origin, you may experience complications such as:
- Infection, swelling: Due to a non-sterile injection environment.
- Clumping, asymmetry: Due to uneven injection technique causing uneven lips.
- Allergic reaction to the active ingredient: Especially with filler dissolving agents (Hyaluronidase) if you have a very sensitive constitution.
How long does it take to recover from lip thickening injections? How long does the effect last?
Recovery speed and duration are two important factors that customers always consider when choosing this service.
Recovery time:
- First 1-3 days: Lips may be slightly swollen or have tiny bruises at the injection site. This is a completely normal reaction of the body.
- After 3-5 days: Swelling disappears, lips begin to soften and take on a clear shape.
- After 1 week: Lips are completely recovered, and you can eat, drink, and apply makeup normally without any discomfort.
How long does the effect last? The duration of the results depends on the type of filler used and each person’s body’s elimination mechanism:
- Regular filler: The effect usually lasts from 8 to 14 months. After this time, the filler will naturally dissolve through the body’s elimination mechanism.
- Filler dissolving injection (lip reduction): If you have the filler dissolved to thin your lips back to their natural state, the effect is permanent (unless you inject new filler).
Note: To maintain a beautiful, thin lip shape for a long time, you should avoid strong impacts to the lip area and limit hot steam treatments for the first 2 weeks after injection.
