All About Lip Injections For Men

Traditionally, it is thought that only women have cosmetic procedures done. However, the effects of aging aren’t lost on men, especially when it comes to their lips. As we age, our lips can get thinner due to a reduction in collagen production. To combat this issue, many men are turning to fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm lip injections, to boost collagen production and make their lips look fuller.

What’s the difference between lip injections for men and those used for women?

The type of fillers used on men and women are the same. Restylane and Juvederm lip injections are some of the more common fillers used, and their effects are the same for men and women. Because these fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (something we have in our body already) the effects of Restylane and Juvederm lip injections can last anywhere from 6-12 months no matter if you are male or female. The only major difference between lip injections for men and women is the dosage. Women may require a larger dosage as they are looking for a more plumper lip.

How are lip injections administered to men?

As with the lip injections that women receive, the fillers are injected into each side of the lips. The treatment lasts about 30 minutes and the results are almost immediate. Furthermore, because Juvederm lip injections are long-lasting you may only need to have the procedure done once or twice a year.

Where can men go to get lip injections?

Men are able to visit a cosmetic surgery clinic or dermatologist to get lip injections. It’s important to do your research and only go somewhere with a good reputation. Your lip injections should be administered by a cosmetic surgeon or other professional who is certified in this field. Because men have different expectations than women on how full their lips should be, it’s essential to get your Juvederm lip injections from someone who is trained to administer them. For example, women may request full lips in the same style as Kylie Jenner, whereas that style would be too voluptuous and feminine for a man. A good surgeon will give men more subtle lips that won’t look like they’ve been augmented at all.
