Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid fillers typically lasts between 6 to 12 months. It depends on several factors, including:

• Your metabolism –  Faster metabolisms break down fillers more quickly.

• The type and amount of filler used –  Different brands and filler densities last for varying durations.

• Lifestyle choices –  Frequent sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration may shorten the longevity of fillers.

• Aftercare practices –  Proper hydration, a healthy diet, and avoiding excessive pressure on the lips help maintain results.

For long-term lip enhancement, top-up treatments are recommended every 6-9 months to maintain your desired lip volume.

Pain tolerance varies from person to person. I take several steps to minimise discomfort and ensure a smooth experience.

• Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to desensitise the area.
• Most lip fillers contain lidocaine, a mild anaesthetic that further reduces pain during injection.
• Our skilled practitioners use precise techniques to ensure minimal discomfort.

Some clients experience mild pressure or a slight pinching sensation. However, the procedure is quick and well-tolerated.

Absolutely! One of the most common misconceptions about lip augmentation is that it always results in overfilled or unnatural-looking lips. My approach focuses on subtle, natural-looking enhancements that complement your facial features.

I customize each treatment to:

• Enhance your lip shape and volume while maintaining facial harmony.
• Prevent an overdone or artificial appearance.
• Ensure balanced proportions between your upper and lower lips.

I take the time to understand your goals. Also, I use advanced techniques to create a beautiful yet natural enhancement.

Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results and preventing complications. I recommend the following post-treatment precautions:

For the first 24 hours:

• Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging your lips.
• Refrain from drinking alcohol as it can increase swelling.
• Avoid intense physical exercise, as it may increase bruising.
• Do not use lipstick or lip balm to prevent irritation.

For the first 48 hours:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning beds.
• Refrain from drinking through a straw, as the suction may disturb the filler placement.
• Avoid spicy or very hot foods that might cause discomfort.

Following these guidelines will minimise swelling and bruising. 

Yes! One of the benefits of hyaluronic acid-based fillers is that they can be dissolved if necessary.

If you are unsatisfied with your results or experience any complications, I can administer an enzyme called hyaluronidase. It breaks down the filler within 24 to 48 hours.

This provides peace of mind, knowing that lip fillers are not permanent and adjustments can always be made.
