Lip fillers can be used to improve the volume, contour, and definition of the lips. They can be used to restore the symmetry of your smile, correct drooping mouth corners, and soften “barcode lines”.
Lip enhancement with dermal fillers can have wonderful results. It is true that there are some very obvious and freakishly over-done lips out there, and this deters many people from seeking treatment because they are afraid of being given a ”trout pout” There are also some very beautiful lips out there… you just haven’t spotted them because they look perfectly natural. It is absolutely possible to achieve a subtle and beautiful enhancement of the lips. This requires knowledge of anatomy, skilled hands, a good product, and a good eye. Choose your practitioner carefully!
“If you can tell someone has had their lips done, then they haven’t been done properly.”
the treatment process
Consultation
Dr Fitzgerald will examine you, take a full medical history, and determine the best options for treatment. This is an opportunity for you to gain a full understanding of your options, and what the process will be like.
Treatment
Numbing cream is liberally applied for 20-30 minutes prior to your procedure. Small amounts of hyaluronic acid gel mixed with a local anaesthetic are then injected with a tiny needle. Although this does not remove all sensation, most patients find the procedure quite comfortable.
Follow up.
You will see a difference immediately, but the true results are only visible about 1-2 weeks later. At that time, you will be asked to come back for a review to check that the results are optimal.
How long before I see results?
You will see a difference immediately, but the true results are only visible about 1-2 weeks later when the product has had a chance to settle in and integrate with the tissue. Although you may be able to feel the product immediately post-treatment, there should be no persistent lumps or bumps.
can i go straight back to work after the treatment?
You may have significant swelling immediately after the treatment, and this may persist for a couple of days. Some short-term bruising is another possible side effect, although this is an exception rather than the rule. It is therefore not advisable to undergo a lip filler treatment if you have to go straight back to work, or have an event to attend the same evening.
how long does lip enhancement treatment last?
The results of a lip enhancement treatment undertaken with dermal fillers should last 6-12 months. This exact length of time will vary from person to person, depending upon how the body breaks down the fillers.
