Lip Enhancement
Transform your smile with plumper, fuller lips
About this treatment
Background to the procedure
The vast majority of temporary lip enhancement is carried out using fillers. These injection treatments can add volume and definition, enhance small or thin lips, balance our asymmetric lips or reduce the appearance of those fine, vertical lines.
There are some surgical forms of treatment which have permanent effects. This includes a form of surgery known as ‘Fat Transfer’ whereby a surgeon takes spare fat from parts of the body that do not require it, such as the buttocks, and then either injects or surgically places it into the lips. While fat injections last slightly longer than normal filler, a lip enhancement using fat injections can be more unpredictable, resulting in lumping and scarring.
A permanent, low-risk solution for lip augmentation involves the use of Gore-Tex material, which the human body seems to tolerate well, but lip augmentation by these means may not be the best idea for someone who is only experimenting with lip augmentation. Someone in that position may prefer to start out with collagen to see how lip augmentation could affect them.
What would I expect at the consultation?
All consultations are private one-on-one sessions that normally last 15-20 minutes. Your Doctor will talk you through the procedure, any concerns you may have your expectations of the results.
What is involved with Lip Fillers?
The filler is injected into precise areas to achieve the desired look adding volume and definition. Following the procedure, the lips can become swollen for a couple of days. Top up treatments might be required to achieve the desired look.
What is the recovery after Lip Fillers?
Patients can experience sensitivity, swelling, redness or bruising to the lip area. As with all treatments, it is advisable to consider recovery and any social events.
Your Doctor will advise if there is anything you need to avoid following treatment such as makeup, strenuous exercise, extensive sun or heat exposure.
What are the risks of complication?
If you are prone to cold sores on the lip area, you might experience an outbreak following treatment.
Any potential complications will be discussed during consultation and you will be given a copy in writing.
