Generally, kissing someone with lip fillers shouldn't feel significantly different than kissing someone with natural lips. Well-done lip fillers, after the initial healing period, feel soft and natural. The goal of the procedure is to enhance the lips without impacting the overall texture or feeling. Many sources confirm that partners often don't notice a difference.
Expert Opinions and Experiences
Several experts and anecdotal accounts support this:
- Dr. Sara Dickie, MD: States that properly administered lip fillers should not change the texture or feel of the lips, impacting kissing or other activities. The lips should feel natural, without lumps, bumps, or graininess. (Source)
- Quora and Reddit users: Multiple reports on platforms like Quora and Reddit from individuals who have kissed people with lip fillers indicate that the experience was indistinguishable from kissing someone with natural lips. (Source, Source, Source)
- Multiple Cosmetic Websites: Numerous cosmetic surgery and aesthetic websites state that kissing with lip fillers should not feel different. (Source, Source, Source, Source)
Factors Influencing Perception
While generally imperceptible, there are potential exceptions:
- Poorly performed procedure: If the lip fillers are poorly placed or excessively large, it could create an unnatural feel.
- Immediate post-procedure: Swelling after the procedure might temporarily alter the lip's texture and sensation.
