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:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers with optimal tissue integration

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”.

FAQ

We strongly discourage this line of thinking. It is understandable to think in this way when budgeting but these treatments should NOT be dictated by budget but by the desired outcome. This can ONLY be decided after thorough education and consultation following a facial assessment of your aesthetic lines and proportions. To simply go on what a friend may have had or what another practitioner has advised you, is not ideal. We want you get you thinking in a different way; a better way, that will lead to a truly amazing outcome. Typically, we would use 1ml in all patients but if work is needed on lip lines or mouth corners, or perhaps the lips are very thin, further product may be used after a few weeks.

The lips are not a forgiving area and the use of poor quality fillers or simply the wrong sub-type of a reputable brand, can lead to poor results. We use 2 brands which – without a doubt – demonstrate the best tissue integration of any brand there is. The properties of the fillers are as important as the techniques used.

It is easier to talk about filler duration rather than results, as the perception of our face can change over time and multiple factors can influence this. The fillers typically used in this area last 6 months. However, we do find that many of our patients who have Stylage Special Lips, enjoy their results for 9-12 months.

We take pride in the multitude of measures we implement to make your experience as comfortable as possible. We have an excellent numbing cream which works within just a few minutes. Local anaesthetic in the product means you should very quickly be pain-free at each injection site. Patients often report to us how their experience has been significantly better and indeed enjoyable, when compared to treatments elsewhere, in the past. The fact that we always have an assistant with the injector, makes a big difference to your comfort and overall experience.

All patients will have immediate swelling and this can be more obvious on waking the next morning. Most patients will report that the swelling subsides within 36-72 hours. Most get little to no bruising. However, you should always be ready to have more significant bruising and swelling. There may be some small, palpable lumps under the skin but these will rarely be a cosmetic issue and disappear in time. Full information on all potential side effects will be discussed during your consultation.

We value the process of educating our patients during the consultation process, to allow us to create a mutually agreed upon treatment plan. There is no need for you to identify what you need treated. Your full facial assessment by one of our reputable expert doctors or aesthetic practitioners will aid you in understanding your specific needs to achieve the outcome you desire.
