Does your smile change after fillers? Our Los Angeles-based Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills team knows that the way a person’s smile may change after getting injectable treatments probably isn’t something most people think about.
Interestingly, the answer is yes: Your smile can indeed be impacted by injectables. Since the volume-adding substances provide results visible right away, require no downtime, and are almost completely painless, it’s easy to see why dermal fillers are so popular. We rely on injectables such as facial fillers to minimize signs of aging. However, one thing to keep in mind is that when you have fillers, they don’t just affect the appearance of one aspect of your face, such as your lips. Your entire face, including your smile, can be affected by the changes. Therefore, it’s always important to consider the bigger picture if you’re having these types of injections—and above all to choose a provider who considers this bigger picture as well.
When you get lip fillers, for example, they not only change the size of your lips, but also the dimensions of your smile. A good injector will always have a plan for your overall face over time, not just a specific aspect in one moment.
Remember that even the smallest change from fillers can make a big difference to your overall face by emphasizing certain areas or making other features appear to be smaller. It’s always best to have a consultation first and tell us about your goals. We can help you decide how much filler you’ll need for the angles and proportions of your face. You’ll want to get fillers that highlight the lip area and enhance your smile without overusing them. When too much filler is used, it can pull the lip down too much and cause it to cover the teeth.
If your upper lip has become longer due to aging, overfilling the upper lip could end up causing the lip to cover the teeth too much, so it’s difficult to show them when you smile. Additionally, you’ll want to ensure your smile remains symmetrical. Lip filler placement should always be strategic and proportionate, which is why working with board-certified dermatologists is key.
We can help to keep that smile on your face throughout your filler experience. Contact us at Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills: Fill out a contact form or call us today at 310-246-0495 to request a consultation.
