Why get dermal fillers for lips?
Dermal fillers for lips have become increasingly popular in recent years as a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. They can enhance lip volume, shape, and symmetry. This treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance into the lips to add volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and define the lip contours. It offers a safe and effective way to achieve fuller, more youthful-looking lips without the need for invasive surgery.
What are some of the benefits of lip enhancements?
There are a number of benefits to getting dermal fillers for lip enhancement. These can include –
Enhanced Lip Volume: Dermal fillers can add volume to thin or naturally small lips. They help to create a more voluptuous and youthful appearance.
Improved Lip Symmetry: Fillers can address asymmetry and irregularities in the lips. This creates a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing look.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Lip fillers can smooth out vertical lip lines (smoker’s lines) and fine wrinkles around the mouth. This rejuvenates the overall appearance of the lips and surrounding area.
Natural-Looking Results: Advanced filler formulations and injection techniques allow for subtle and natural-looking results. This ensures that the lips maintain a soft and natural texture.

How does the lip enhancement procedure work?
The lip filler procedure typically begins with a consultation with one of our qualified and medically trained practitioners. Here we will discuss goals, expectations, and medical history. During the procedure:
Preparation: The lips are cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort during the injection process.
Injection: Using a fine needle the filler is injected into targeted areas of the lips to achieve the desired volume and shape. The injections are administered with precision to ensure natural-looking results.
Assessment: Throughout the procedure, we will make any necessary adjustments to achieve optimal symmetry and balance.
What is the recovery like after having lip enhancement?
While lip filler treatments are minimally invasive, some temporary side effects may occur during the recovery period.
Swelling and Bruising: Mild swelling and bruising at the injection sites are common and usually resolve within a few days.
Sensitivity: The lips may feel tender or sensitive immediately after the procedure. This typically subsides within a few days.
Temporary Results: Initial swelling may cause the lips to appear slightly larger than the final result. Once the swelling resolves, the lips will settle into their final shape and size.
Is there anything I shouldn’t do after having lip enhancements?
We suggest our patients avoid strenuous exercise, hot temperatures, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours after treatment. This helps to minimise swelling and promote optimal healing.
Are lip fillers painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to help minimise any pain or discomfort.
How long do lip fillers last?
The duration of lip filler results varies depending on factors such as individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. On average, lip fillers typically last between six to 12 months before additional touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain results.
Can I choose the size and shape of my lips with fillers?
Yes, lip fillers offer a customisable solution tailored to each individual’s unique anatomy and aesthetic preferences. During the consultation we will discuss your goals and work with you to create a treatment plan that achieves the desired size, shape, and symmetry of the lips.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with lip enhancement?
While lip fillers are considered safe when administered by a trained and experienced practitioner, such as at Revitalise Skincare Clinic, some potential risks and side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or lumps at the injection sites. Always ensure you visit a clinic with medically trained staff.

How soon can I see results after lip filler treatment?
Results are typically noticeable immediately after the procedure. Although some initial swelling may obscure the final outcome. As swelling subsides over the following days, the lips will gradually settle into their final shape and size. Optimal results are usually visible within one to two weeks.
Can I wear makeup after lip enhancement treatment?
It is generally recommended to avoid applying makeup to the lips for the first 24 hours after treatment. This allows the injection sites to heal properly. Once any swelling or bruising has subsided, makeup can be applied as usual.
