Lip fillers, composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in soft tissues, offer a solution for enhancing lip volume, defining contours, and addressing vertical creases and wrinkles around the mouth.

Lip fillers can be strategically injected into the upper, lower, or both lips to achieve desired results. While moderate use of fillers can result in subtle enhancements, excessive filler application may yield an unnatural appearance.

Your consultation for lip fillers at our clinic begins with a discussion with our doctor who will discuss your lip goals in detail. Following the consultation, a medical history review and photography session are conducted to tailor the treatment plan to your needs.

Risks and Side Effects of Lip Fillers

Safety of Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation procedures conducted at our clinic are deemed safe and effective. As lip fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. Additionally, hyaluronic acid fillers do not necessitate allergy testing.

When administered by a qualified medical professional, the procedure is non-invasive with minimal risk.

Potential Complications

Common side effects of lip fillers may include redness, tenderness, swelling, and bruising. Although severe complications are rare, asymmetry, nerve damage, and infection are possible. Therefore, it is imperative that patients select a reputable medical professional operating within a clinical setting for any injectable treatment.

Factors such as bumpiness, unevenness, overfilled lips, bruising, and swelling may occur post-treatment. These effects typically subside within a few days to weeks, depending on individual healing processes.

Potential Damage to Lips

Lip filler injections are a safe and well-established procedure when administered by a skilled medical professional. However, if performed by an inexperienced or unqualified practitioner, unsatisfactory results and overuse of filler products can lead to permanent stretching of lip skin.

Migrating Lip Fillers

Lip filler migration, characterised by unintentional movement or spreading of fillers over time, can result in visual irregularities. Factors contributing to migration include the brand of fillers used, practitioner qualifications, quantity of filler injected, and post-treatment aftercare.

Addressing Lip Filler Bumps

Lumps and bumps from lip fillers typically dissipate within 72 hours. However, persistent lumps may result from superficial injections or excessive filler products. Massaging the injection site or administering hyaluronidase can help alleviate lumps and bumps caused by filler deposits.

Impact on Teeth

Excessive lip filler application can obscure visibility of teeth when smiling. When properly administered, lip fillers should provide a smoother, supplier feel without noticeable sensations. To ensure a comfortable experience, local anaesthesia and specialised topical numbing cream are employed during procedures at our clinic.
