Filler injections don’t just solve facial issues; they are also popular for reshaping lips and giving a fresh look without the need for painful surgery and long recovery times.
In this article, I will explain lip filler injections so you can decide if this beauty treatment is right for you.
First, let me briefly explain what lip fillers are and how they work to change the shape of your lips.
Fillers are a type of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance approved by Thailand's Ministry of Public Health for doctors to use in filling in flaws, deep lines, and sunken areas on the face.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is naturally present in the body, especially in skin tissues. It binds with collagen and retains water in cells, keeping the skin hydrated and firm. When it meets water, it expands into a gel-like form and eventually dissolves naturally.
For lip fillers, the goal is to add volume to the existing lips, giving them a clear shape and more definition. The doctor will use techniques to smooth and shape the filler to match the face and get rid of the original lip issues.

Cultural influences and beauty standards also make many people want to change their lip shape. Examples include K-pop style lips and Western-style lips.
Additionally, some people don't want K-pop or Western-style lips but just want to fix various lip shape issues.
Even though genuine fillers dissolve naturally and don’t leave residue, I can’t deny that all types of injections have some risks.
Lip fillers need the expertise and experience of a doctor. It’s also important that the fillers used are high-quality and authentic. If you choose a trustworthy clinic that is honest with its customers, you won’t have to worry about this.
If you’re looking for a clinic to get lip fillers, here’s a checklist to help you make the right decision and avoid mistakes.
Neuramis fillers from Korea are perfect for lip shaping. They give beautiful, defined lips and are cheaper than other brands while still giving great results. This makes Neuramis the best-selling filler at MEGA CLINIC.
MEGA CLINIC buys Neuramis fillers directly from MEDYCELES (Thailand) Co., Ltd., the only official distributor in Thailand. We allow you to scan and verify the fillers before every injection, with our medical assistants giving detailed guidance in the injection room.
For those who want other brands, MEGA CLINIC also offers Restylane from Sweden and Juvederm from the USA.
On the side of the filler box, it says the results can last 18-24 months. But lip fillers, where the skin is sensitive and moves a lot from talking or eating, tend to dissolve faster, usually lasting 4-6 months. The exact duration depends on the individual’s body.
The most common side effects after lip filler injections are needle marks and bruising, which usually go away in 7-14 days. If you bruise easily or heal slowly, avoid painkillers, aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), supplements with vitamin E, vitamin K, fish oil, and Evening Primrose for at least 2 weeks. Also, avoid alcohol 24 hours before the injection.
After getting lip fillers, follow these tips to keep your lips looking great for as long as possible:
Neuramis fillers have a built-in anesthetic to reduce pain during the injection. MEGA CLINIC also offers a free numbing cream 30 minutes before the injection for those who are worried about pain.
Right after the injection, you might notice some swelling from the needle, and the new lip shape may not be clear yet. The swelling should go down in 7-14 days, with the fillers fully setting in 1 month.
When can you apply lipstick after getting lip fillers? Once the needle marks are fully closed, usually within a few minutes to an hour, you can put on lipstick, do your makeup, apply creams, and go about your normal life.
Q: I want advice on choosing the right lip shape.
A: At MEGA CLINIC, our doctors specialize in designing lips that look beautifully shaped and enhance your appearance. If you’re unsure, you can start by finding a lip shape you like and bringing it to the clinic. Our doctors will assess whether the desired shape will suit your face.
Q: I naturally have full, thick lips. Will fillers make them look even bigger?
A: Lip fillers enhance and define your natural lip shape, making them more prominent and attractive. If your lips are already full, the doctor will use techniques such as lifting the corners of your mouth and adding a cupid’s bow to create a sweet or sharp look based on your preference. It won’t make your lips look larger than they already are.
Q: I’m worried about lumps forming after lip fillers.
A: Right after the injection, you might feel the filler under your skin because it hasn’t fully settled yet. However, within about 1 month, the filler will blend seamlessly with your lips, becoming smooth, soft, and natural-looking.
Q: Does NEGA CLINIC offer other filler brands for lips besides Neuramis?
A: Yes! We offer three brands for lip fillers: Neuramis, Restylane, and Juvederm. Popular options include Neuramis Deep, Restylane Kysse, and Juvederm Volift, which are highly recommended by our doctors.
Q: How long does a lip filler injection take?
A: The procedure takes about 20–30 minutes, not including the time for applying numbing cream. After the injection, you can resume your normal activities immediately.
