Lip filler application is a medical procedure of great importance for achieving aesthetic and safe results. Therefore, it is essential that the procedure be performed by specialist and experienced plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgeons who are proficient in anatomical knowledge and potential complication management, under equipped clinical conditions. Procedures performed by unqualified individuals can lead to unnatural, disproportionate, or misshapen lips.

While temporary redness and bruising at the injection sites during the application are expected, there are risks of more serious complications. Specifically, severe conditions such as vascular occlusions caused by the filler material entering a blood vessel and subsequent tissue loss have been reported.

Furthermore, it is of great importance that the filler material used is CE certified and complies with international quality standards. In case of unusual and serious conditions after the application, such as swelling lasting longer than 7-10 days, persistent redness, non-resolving bruising, discoloration (blackening), or signs of infection, it is vitally important to consult a plastic surgeon immediately.
