According to this article in Pub Med - The History of injectable facial fillers - in 1981, bovine collagen was the first agent approved by the FDA for cosmetic injection. Since its approval, dozens of injectable filling agents are already FDA-approved for cosmetic use.
Today's lip filler injectables typically use hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs as a substance in the body, and is considered far safer than previous injectables.
Lip fullness and definition are critical aesthetic factors associated with attractiveness, which is why lip augmentation with HA fillers has become so popular. In this article, the research indicated that Hyaluronic acid fillers turned out to be an effective and safe treatment.
Because of the increased popularity of lip fillers, advanced injection techniques have been designed to achieve optimal results.
If you are considering getting lip fillers, be informed about the procedure and products and that the injector you choose is educated and experienced in administering lip fillers.
Think about what your aesthetic goals are.
Generally, for ridges around the lips or smoker's line, conservative amounts of lip filler are used. If you are looking for more volume and fullness, the dose will be larger. When you are starting for the first time, it is advisable to start with small quantities. You can always add a little more when you see the results of the first treatment.
