When it comes to lip fillers, everyone seems to have an opinion—and sometimes, those opinions can be more fiction than fact.

At INJEXED MedBar, we’re here to set the record straight by addressing the most common myths surrounding lip injections.

Whether you’re considering lip fillers or just curious about the process, let’s debunk the top five myths about this popular cosmetic treatment.

1. Myth: Lip Fillers Are Super Expensive

One of the most persistent myths is that lip fillers are unaffordable for most people. The truth is, while the cost of lip injections can range from $699 to $800 or more, the price is based on several factors, including how much product is used and who is administering the treatment.

Here’s the good news: depending on the look you’re going for, you may not need to do a full plump. Many clients achieve beautiful, natural results with just a small amount of filler, making the treatment more affordable than you might think. At INJEXED MedBar, we work with you to determine the best amount of filler to fit both your aesthetic goals and budget.

2. Myth: Lip Fillers Are Permanent

Another common misconception is that lip fillers are permanent. Many people fear that once they get lip injections, they’ll be stuck with the look forever. While that might sound appealing for some, the reality is that lip fillers are temporary.

Typically, the effects of lip fillers last between 6 to 9 months, depending on your body’s natural metabolism and the type of filler used. So, if you love your results, you can schedule touch-ups to maintain the look. If you want to go back to your natural lips, the filler will gradually dissolve on its own.

For those with partners who worry about permanent changes, rest assured that lip fillers aren’t forever—but they may just love the results enough to want them to be!

3. Myth: Lip Fillers Are Painful

Many people shy away from lip fillers because they believe the treatment will be painful. While any type of injection can cause discomfort, the idea that lip fillers are excruciating is exaggerated.

At INJEXED MedBar, we prioritize your comfort. Before the procedure, we numb the lips with a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, we provide an ice pack after the treatment to help soothe the area. The procedure itself is quick, and most clients find the temporary discomfort well worth the beautiful results.

4. Myth: Lip Fillers Will Make You Look Fake

A common fear is that lip fillers will result in an unnatural or "overdone" look. While it’s true that some people opt for a more dramatic enhancement, at INJEXED MedBar, we specialize in creating a natural look that enhances your lips while maintaining balance and symmetry.

If you’re looking for a subtle boost or fuller lips that still look natural, we’re the place for you. However, if you’re after an overly exaggerated look, we may not be the right fit. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not change it.

5. Myth: Lip Fillers Are Dangerous

Lastly, some people believe that lip fillers are dangerous. This is a huge misconception. At INJEXED MedBar, our injectors are all licensed medical professionals with extensive training and experience. We use FDA-approved fillers, and our team has a proven track record of safe, successful treatments and satisfied clients.

When performed by experienced professionals in a safe, clean environment, lip injections are completely safe. You can trust that your lips are in expert hands when you visit INJEXED MedBar.
