    Lip Fillers And Braces: Let’s Chat!

    Lip fillers and braces can have a massive impact on the transformation of your face, but should you have to choose between one or the other? That is the question.

    Of course, it is no secret that lip fillers have become the go-to option for many seeking a plumper pout. But what happens when you have dental braces firmly set in place?

    Can you still embark on a journey towards luscious lips when you have already embarked on a journey towards getting that Hollywood smile? The answer: yes, you can, and here is why:

    Lip Fillers In A Nutshell

    Lip fillers are dermal fillers injected into your lips to add volume and give you that glorious and spellbinding facial feature, lips and mouth. In fact, it is currently one of the most popular types of dermal filler, which makes sense, as this non-surgical procedure can significantly enhance your overall appearance and offer instant results.

    Dental Braces In A Nutshell

    Dental braces correct a wide range of dental issues (including crooked and gapped teeth). It uses mild and constant pressure to shift your teeth into their proper positions over time to construct a glorious and glowing smile and dental outcome.

    But … brace yourself (pun intended) … even though pop culture would have you believe only children and teens wear braces, as seen in shows like the Rugrats (Chuckie Finster Jr) and The Simpsons (Lisa Simpson) … about 20% of all orthodontic patients in the United States are over the age of 18, and about 83% of adults in the United Kingdom are seeking braces.

    Mind blown … YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 ALONE! 👏

    How Long Does One Have To Wear Braces On Average?

    This REALLY is a tough one, as some people want to merely close the gap in their front teeth, and others want to correct an array of dental issues. Therefore, dental braces can range from 12 to 24+ months in duration.

    Why Does This Matter?

    If you were sceptical about having lip fillers done whilst wearing braces, this is the rough timeline you must keep in mind. I.e. Should you have it done now, OR potentially wait 12 to 24 months (or more) before having your lip fillers injected.

    Give Me A Rough List Of The Risks

    As with anything in life, risks exist. 

    No shocker there. But complications are rare and uncommon. Complications that could occur, though, include:

    • Bruising
    • Swelling
    • Asymmetry
    • Skin redness

    Naturally, dental braces have a way of pushing one’s lips forward, and again, depending on the amount of lip fillers injected or your dental situation, there could be a chance that your braces may subtly influence the desired outcome of your lip fillers, or cause changes in your lip size and shape once the braces are removed.

    Let’s not forget the utmost IMPORTANCE of always presenting all your questions and concerns to your orthodontist and aesthetician beforehand. They will help put your mind at ease as they provide you with informed answers.

    The Positive Take Away

    Lip fillers (and braces) are temporary (unlike tattoos) and can be reversed or removed. Meaning if you are not satisfied with your results, don’t worry, they are not forever.

    Moderation is crucial and key, and overfilling can harm your lips. Luckily, we live in a world where ethical practitioners prioritise gradual, careful filling. This allows your lips to return to their original state naturally. As the filler breaks down over time, preventing any potential sagging once the lip filler has dissolved.

    Lip Fillers And Braces

    The big question remains: Can lip fillers and braces be done, and are they aesthetic friends?

    Absolutely! Lip fillers and braces can coexist harmoniously. It’s generally advised to avoid undergoing dental work for approximately 2 to 3 weeks after receiving lip fillers. Dental procedures can potentially release bacteria from the oral cavity into the bloodstream, triggering an immune response that may affect the lip filler, resulting in unexpected and possibly severe reactions.

    Lip Fillers And Braces: Summary

    If you are rocking braces and dreaming of having luscious and fuller lips, be sure to chat with both your orthodontist and your aesthetician before having anything done, as your orthodontist and aesthetician can work together to ensure your treatments complement each other effectively to ensure a stunning result.

    Remember … you CAN have it all, not to mention you deserve it all too!
