Lip Fillers
A subtle enhancement of the definition and volume of the lips can make a huge impact on your overall look without drawing undue attention to just your lips. Lip fillers can also contribute to a more youthful appearance by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, providing an anti-wrinkle effect. Talk to our Portsmouth dermal fillers experts about a wide range of treatments at our clinic, administered by highly qualified professionals.
Whatever your age, male or female, thinning lips will add age to the maturing face. Small changes with dermal filler can actually add a significant positive impact on the overall facial appearance. Are dermal fillers safe? When administered by qualified and experienced professionals, dermal fillers are generally regarded as safe. Dr Patel states: “We must ensure lips are beautified so that they are age-appropriate, gender-appropriate, face-appropriate and even personality-appropriate! If you want the unsightly lips we often see on social media profiles, we will do our best to educate you on why this is such a bad idea”. If you are younger and simply just want bigger lips due to genetically thinner lips, this can also be achieved after a thorough consultation with our Doctor. However, these must still fit with your face so you get a beautification from the treatment and you must be over 18.
Dr Dev Patel has an enviable reputation for his lip filler results with some patients flying to the UK for treatment! At Perfect Skin Solutions, for the lips we ONLY use:

What are Hyaluronic Acid Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a specialized type of dermal filler designed to enhance the shape, size, and overall appearance of your lips. Made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, these fillers work to add volume, smooth out fine lines, and create a more defined lip contour.
Dermal fillers work by utilizing hyaluronic acid to reduce static wrinkles and restore skin volume, thereby rejuvenating the skin and enhancing facial aesthetics. Whether you’re looking to address thin lips, lip lines, or marionette lines, lip fillers offer a versatile solution. The hyaluronic acid in the fillers not only provides immediate volume but also attracts moisture, ensuring your lips stay hydrated and plump. This treatment is ideal for those seeking fuller, more luscious lips with a natural look.
We will assess your complete face for the best possible results.
How Lip Fillers Work
Lip fillers are a specialized type of dermal filler designed to enhance the shape and size of your lips. These fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, into the lip tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a key component of connective tissue and plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s hydration and elasticity. When injected into the lips, it attracts and retains water, causing the lip tissue to swell and become more voluminous.
The procedure involves a series of small injections and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. The effects of lip fillers are immediate, providing instant volume and definition. Depending on the type of filler used and your individual metabolism, the results can last for several months. To maintain the desired look, regular top-up treatments are recommended. This minimally invasive procedure offers a quick and effective solution for achieving fuller, more defined lips.
Benefits and Results
The benefits of lip fillers extend beyond just fuller lips. With lip fillers, you can achieve a more enhanced lip shape and size, smoother and more defined lip lines, and increased volume and fullness. Improved lip symmetry is another significant advantage, ensuring that both your upper and lower lips are proportionate and balanced. The results of lip fillers are natural-looking, providing a subtle yet noticeable enhancement that can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle can influence the longevity of the results. With regular maintenance treatments, you can enjoy a youthful, radiant appearance for an extended period. Additionally, lip fillers can be part of anti-wrinkle treatments, helping to reduce facial wrinkles and rejuvenate your overall appearance.
Treatment Process
The dermal filler treatment process is straightforward and designed to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. It begins with a free consultation with a qualified practitioner, where you can discuss your concerns, desired results, and suitability for the treatment. Once you’re ready to proceed, the treatment area is cleaned and prepared, and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort. The practitioner then uses a fine needle to inject the gel-like filler into the targeted areas. After the injection, the treated area is gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler. Finally, you’ll receive aftercare instructions to help you achieve a smooth and comfortable recovery. This comprehensive process ensures that your dermal filler treatment is both safe and effective, with immediate results and no recovery time. Top-up sessions may be necessary to maintain the results over time.
Why choose Perfect Skin Solutions for your Lip Fillers?
As we mention throughout all our pages on fillers, this is an art as much as a science. A deep understanding of facial beauty and the psychology of beauty, allows a doctor to deliver perfect results taking your face to the peak of its aesthetic potential. Our doctors know when to say “no” and often find themselves showing a patient how – for example – treating their lips with filler would be a bad idea whilst bringing the chin into better alignment would easily add beauty to their facial profile. Put your face in our hands to ensure you get the right treatment for you. Dr Dev Patel is keen to promote his mantra of achieving a “natural look” rather than “Donatella Versace lips!” We do not do the “trout-pout look”.
