Lip Fillers

From our late twenties our lips start to become thinner flatter, and less defined. There may be vertical lines that extend from the lip border or that extend downwards from the corners of the mouth creating a downturned mouth. By injecting a small amount of lip filler we can create a happier and more youthful, rejuvenated appearance to boost your confidence.

Younger patients may want to highlight their lips cosmetically and this can be discussed at a thorough consultation as to what is a safe volume of lip filler to inject.

Your consultation

At Finesse, you will receive an in depth consultation ahead of your Lip Filler treatment. We do not take this responsibility lightly. The consultation includes a facial assessment and your skin concerns and expectations will be discussed.

We will determine your suitability for treatment and we will discuss with you the potential side effects of the therapy and how to minimise these. Where in your best interests, a treatment is refused, the reasons why will be explained.

FAQs

Do I need a consultation ahead of treatment?

Yes at Finesse Skin Clinic we require you to have a thorough consultation prior to treatment to ensure we can help you in the best possible way. We will look at your medical history and advise you whether you are suitable for this lip filler treatment. You will also be given advice to follow ahead of your treatment.

What to expect on the day of the appointment?

When you arrive for treatment numbing cream will be applied for 20-30minutes. During this time we will discuss your desired results. Either a small needle or cannula can be used to carry out the treatment which should take around 20-30 minutes. You will be provided with after care advice which you must follow carefully.

Will I swell after treatment?

It is very common for your lips to swell after your treatment and for there to be some bruising. This swelling may last a few days and is sometimes worse in the morning than in the evening. Sometimes it can last up to 2 weeks post treatment. You may be advised to take an anti-histamine or use a cold pack to help with the swelling and use arnica gel or tablets to help to reduce the bruising. Should you notice anything unusual such as intense pain, heat, or a lack of colour to the area of the skin you must contact us urgently and we will assess whether we need to see you for a face to face appointment.

Does it hurt?

The lips are one of the most sensitive areas on the face and so discomfort is expected. You will be given numbing cream to reduce the discomfort. In addition, all of our fillers contain a local anaesthetic.

Will they look natural?

At Finesse you will be offered a subtle solution for enhancement. I will listen to your requirements at your consultation and advise you on the best way to achieve your desired look. There is a perfect lip ratio of 1:1.6 for natural beauty. Fashion is constantly changing and many patients now opt for a lip ratio of 1:1. Occasionally, I will refuse treatment if I consider it is inappropriate.

How soon can I have another treatment?

You must allow a full 2 weeks for your lips to settle before assessing the need for more volume. On average you can expect your lips to lose 10-20% of the size once the swelling has gone.Thinner lips may require more than one treatment to build up the lip volume, this is to maintain safety. A further treatment can be done 2 weeks after your first treatment if this is considered appropriate. If you have come from another practitioner you must wait a full 6 months before booking in for a further lip treatment unless you know the name of the lip filler that was used. This is to avoid complications with treatment.

What do I do if I can feel lumps?

It is common to experience lumps in the first two weeks after treatment as the filler become integrated in your own tissue. Follow the instructions that have been given to you. After 2 weeks if they are still present then please arrange a follow up consultation to assess. Should you experience pain or swelling associated with these lips then call us sooner to assess. You may need a prescription of steroids to resolve it.

How long will the results last for?

It can vary from person to person but anywhere from 4 to 12 months.

What if I don’t like the result?

It is important to wait a FULL 2 weeks to allow the lips to settle. If you are not happy with the result then please make an appointment for a review where we can discuss your concerns. Lip fillers can be dissolved although this is a risk in itself. This is a chargeable service.

What our patients say

"Extremely friendly and professional service from Sarah at Finesse. I have had 3 areas of anti-wrinkle treatment regularly for a few years but never entirely happy until now. Sarah WILL make sure she finds out all your requirements and actually listen to them which is why I am so happy with the results every time I go to Sarah. As I trust Sarah with my face I recently decided to have my lips slightly enhanced with 1ml of filler. I was very anxious to say the least as you hear of so many fails. Sarah knew it was very important to make them look natural especially as I am in my mid-forties. I couldn’t be happier with the results – exactly what I asked for, Subtle but defined. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed you are in very capable hands. "

" I am in love with my lips and it’s not even been a day 😍 Sarah was lovely right from the first message. Quick and clear communication, she was super informative during the consultation and was very good at making sure I knew exactly what I was doing and ensuring I had all the information I needed to make my decision. I was prepped before my appointment making sure I knew what I was doing with the numbing cream. I wasn’t that nervous as this was something I’ve wanted for a long time but Sarah was so lovely, checking I was comfortable and not in any pain. I felt at total ease in her hands! The fillers did not hurt at all just a slight scratch sensation. I’ve come away with all the aftercare info and even had a check up message to make sure I was ok! I can’t wait to show them off!!"

"From consultation to aftercare, Sarah has been absolutely fantastic. This was my first ever treatment so was a little nervous about procedure and result but had no pressure from Sarah, just a very, very professional and informative experience and a fantastic result. Thank you so much for my little confidence boost. I am now looking forward to some skin TLC "

Tanya JonesCam, Gloucestershire

"I had both a phone consultation and face to face consultation to make sure I was comfortable and aware of the procedure for lip fillers. Sarah made me feel at ease and was well informative and professional. Sarah made sure even after the fillers that everything was okay checking in to make sure I was happy whilst the swelling went down. Overall I am so happy and would highly recommend and return. Thank you so much!"
