Lip fillers have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for individuals seeking to enhance the volume and contour of their lips. With advancements in aesthetic medicine, lip injections offer a non-surgical solution to achieve fuller, more youthful lips. Whether you seek subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, lip fillers at our Bangkok clinic can help you achieve your desired look.
A lip filler is a cosmetic injectable used to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. Most lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and retains moisture, providing a plump and hydrated appearance. Lip filler injections can smooth out fine lines around the mouth, enhance lip symmetry, and create a more defined lip border.
There are various types of lip fillers, including:
These are the most common and popular lip fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide a smooth and natural appearance, enhancing the lips’ shape and volume. The amount of filler injected can be controlled, allowing for gradual improvements until the desired result is achieved. If needed, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, providing safety and flexibility.
Collagen fillers were among the first injectable fillers used in cosmetic treatments. Collagen provides a framework for the skin, offering structural support and enhancing the lips’ firmness and smoothness. Collagen is a natural protein found in the body, making it a biocompatible and safe option for many patients. Collagen fillers typically last for a shorter duration compared to hyaluronic acid fillers.
Permanent lip fillers are made from materials such as silicone or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) beads suspended in a biocompatible gel. These dermal fillers offer longer-lasting results but are less commonly used due to their potential for adverse effects and the difficulty of reversing the procedure if needed.
Lip fillers offer numerous benefits, both aesthetic and psychological. They give lips enhanced volume, especially for thin or aging lips, creating a fuller appearance. Lip injections can improve the contour of your lips. They can define the shape of the lips, enhancing the overall symmetry and balance of the face. As a result, many patients report increased self-esteem and confidence following their lip filler treatments.
The process of getting lip filler injections at Nirunda Aesthetic Clinic in Bangkok is straightforward and typically involves the following steps:
To ensure optimal results and longevity of your lip fillers, we recommend following your doctor’s after-care tips, such as avoiding touching or massaging your lips for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, and don’t do intense physical activities for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment. Be sure to attend your follow-up appointments, as regular touch-ups can help maintain your desired look.
While lip filler injections are generally safe, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects and risks. Common side effects include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. Though uncommon, there is a risk of infection, allergic reactions, or uneven results. Choosing a qualified practitioner can significantly reduce these risks.

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, which can be minimized with a local anesthetic.
To help reduce swelling and discomfort, apply ice to the lips using an ice pack or an ice cube covered in cloth.
It’s recommended to wait a day before applying makeup to the treatment area to allow any tenderness to subside.
Immediately after treatment, avoid strenuous activity, sun exposure, and alcohol. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid picking or scratching at the treated area. Follow your doctor’s instructions for the best results.
While smoking after getting lip fillers won’t affect the outcome, smoking can dry out the skin and contribute to premature aging. It’s best to avoid smoking immediately post-procedure.
Generally, 1 ml is enough to create a subtle enhancement and maintain a natural appearance.
