Understanding lip fillers?
Lip fillers use an injectable gel, usually based on hyaluronic acid, to add volume, improve definition or refine the shape of the lips. Treatment can be planned around subtle enhancement, asymmetry or changes in lip volume over time.
The amount and placement of filler are discussed after assessing your lips and facial proportions. Early swelling can affect the initial appearance, so the final result is assessed once the area has settled.
What to expect
- Personalised discussion of shape, volume and balance
- Suitability and medical history reviewed before treatment
- Aftercare and review arrangements explained at consultation
Dermal fillers can cause swelling, bruising, tenderness and infection. Rare but serious complications include blocked blood vessels, tissue damage and visual loss. Your practitioner will explain relevant risks and how to seek help.
