Lip Filler Myths Debunked

Debunking Lip Filler Myths

Lip fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments today, but they’re surrounded by myths that often cause unnecessary hesitation. Let’s clear up some of the most common misconceptions:

Myth 1: Lip Fillers Always Look Fake

When done by an experienced injector, lip fillers enhance your natural features without looking overdone. The key is balance—focusing on proportions and your unique anatomy. At TRU Aesthetics, we specialize in creating subtle, natural results.

Myth 2: Lip Fillers Are Permanent

Lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. Over time, your body naturally metabolizes the filler, so results can last 1-2 years on average. If you ever decide fillers aren’t for you, they can even be dissolved!

Myth 3: They Hurt a Lot

While everyone’s pain tolerance is different, most people find lip filler treatments to be tolerable. We use numbing agents to keep you comfortable during the procedure.

Myth 4: Lip Fillers Are Only for Younger People

Lip fillers aren’t just for creating fuller lips—they can also restore volume lost with age and improve overall lip symmetry. Patients of all ages can benefit!

Myth 5: Anyone Can Perform Lip Injections

You must be a licensed provider (Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, or Physician) in order to administer neurotoxins (such as Botox or Dysport) and dermal fillers. Choosing a qualified, licensed, experienced provider ensures both your safety and a beautiful outcome. Always trust a licensed professional with advanced training in aesthetics.
