Who is lip filler for?
Lip filler is suitable for those who want to improve the following:
- Patients who are looking to improve their lips by creating a sharper contouring of the vermillion border, adding volume to the body of the lips, and also adding further definition to the cupid’s bow and the philtrum column.
- We often see a wide variety of patients who may be looking to reverse lost volume in the lips due to age or reduce harsh wrinkling in their lips.
- Sometimes patients may also be looking to change the shape of their lips due to underlying asymmetry, or simply wish to enhance their lips’ overall size and hydration.
What to expect from lip filler
- After a thorough consultation to assess the lips in relation to your facial proportions, we would then find a lip shape that best suits the patient’s face.
- Numbing cream is then applied to the area to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
- The lip filler will be injected using a variety of techniques to best cater to your individual needs, focussing on lip height, or enhancing projection to match your facial profile.
- The treatment takes around 15 minutes to complete.
- Results with lip fillers are instant, although lips can swell up in the first 2 days after the procedure before settling into the final size 1 to 2 weeks after.
- The results of this procedure will last around 6 to 9 months.
- Patients will receive after-care advice from the clinic advising them on what to expect 24 hours after the treatment.
