Lip Fillers shape your smile by adding volume and plumpness to your lips.

Many people want to increase the size of their lips later on in life because as you age your lips can become thinner and lose their shape.

Or, you may be thinking of a lip filler to soften wrinkles from sun damage, smoking, or genetics.

Lip fillers are a common procedure, adding volume, symmetry, and shape based on your desired look. The end result is fuller, smoother, and softer lips that not only look natural but feel natural.

How It Works

After measuring and examining your face, a topical cream is applied to numb the area.

A thin needle is used to inject the hyaluronic acid filler into certain parts of your lips depending on the areas you wish to define.

You shouldn’t feel pain, just a pinching sensation, and your eyes may water.

The procedure usually takes around 30 minutes and depending on your metabolism, the results should last 6-12 months.

Aftercare

An ice pack may be applied to minimize swelling and bruising and these effects should pass in 24-48 hours.

For the first 24 hours after the procedure, you should avoid wearing lipstick, exercising, kissing, touching, drinking through a straw or any other activity which may require puckering of your lips.

We recommend that you protect and moisturise your lips in order to achieve the best results.

Lip enhancement involves the use of soft tissue fillers to add volume, improve symmetry, and define the borders of the lips. The goal is to provide a fuller appearance that complements your unique facial proportions. During your consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and create a tailored plan.

The longevity of the results varies depending on the individual’s metabolism and the specific type of filler used. Generally, the effects remain visible for 6 to 12 months. Because the substance is naturally absorbed by the body over time, follow-up appointments are required to maintain the desired volume.

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the process. We often use topical numbing agents or fillers containing local anaesthetic to improve comfort. You may experience swelling and bruising for 2 to 7 days post-treatment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive heat for the first 24–48 hours to minimize these effects.

While common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and bruising, more significant risks can occur. These include lumps (granulomas), asymmetry, or infection. Rare but serious complications include vascular occlusion (where filler enters a blood vessel). Our clinical team is highly trained to identify and manage these risks immediately.

Yes, the most common fillers used for lip enhancement are reversible. A specific enzyme can be injected to break down the filler safely if a complication occurs or if the aesthetic outcome does not meet your expectations.
