Choose a reputable injection address – don’t trade risks for cheap

Heart-shaped lips do not suit all faces – do not “order” from photos

Each face has a different structure. Some people are suitable for soft heart-shaped lips, but others will look better with arched lips, thick Western lips, or gentle natural lips.

Do not inject too much filler – beautiful but natural

Many people want their lips to be full quickly so they request a lot of injections at the same time, leading to stiff lips, loss of natural curve, or even “overdoing” which makes the face look less luxurious.

Proper lip care after injection

Although it is a simple procedure, the lips are still a sensitive area of ​​skin and need to be carefully cared for after injection to achieve the best results. Some important notes:
  • Avoid eating spicy foods, drinking alcohol, smoking for the first 2-3 days.
  • Do not purse your lips, touch your lips or use cosmetics around the mouth for the first 48 hours.
  • Drink enough water and keep your lips soft with colorless, odorless lip balm.
  • If there is slight swelling, you can apply ice in a clean towel to reduce it quickly.

The results are not permanent – need to be periodically re-injected

Heart-shaped lip filler usually lasts from 6 to 12 months, depending on the body and the type of filler used. When the filler begins to dissolve, the lips will gradually return to their original state. If you want to keep the shape, you should re-inject periodically according to your doctor’s advice.

Always monitor your body’s reaction after injection

Some normal symptoms after injection: slight swelling, lip tightness, slight bruising in the first few days. However, if you see signs such as:
  • Severe pain in the lips, swelling and inflammation that does not decrease,
  • Abnormal lip color change (purple),
  • Numbness, loss of sensation in the lips…
You need to contact your doctor immediately for timely examination and treatment.

In short, heart-shaped lip injection is a quick, minimally invasive beauty method that can bring about noticeable results after just one session. However, to have lips that are standard, soft, and in harmony with your face, you need to be carefully examined and performed by a highly qualified doctor.
