Many people feel self-conscious about their lips and these insecurities tend to only grow with age. If you suffer from low self-esteem because you are unhappy with the way your lips looks, you will have probably tried lots of at-home, cheap methods to improve the appearance of your lips. Performing clever make-up tricks using lip liner and different shades of lipstick to plump up your pout can radically change the way your lips look. However, these solutions are only ever short lived.
Dermal lip fillers are the perfect way to restore your youthful look. Here at Look Lovely London, we have a team of experts who have changed the lives of many women across a variety of ages.
Undergoing any surgery, particularly to the face, requires a great deal of thought and consideration. Our patients tend to have similar concerns or questions about dermal lip fillers so we’ve put together this cheat sheet for anyone considering dermal lip filler surgery.
Why are you considering dermal fillers for lips?
If, like many of our customers, you feel that your face is not as fresh and youthful as it once was, dermal lip fillers can certainly have a positive impact on your look. As you begin to age, your lips can start to appear thinner which, over time, can affect your confidence. Dermal lip fillers are the perfect way to take years off your appearance by revitalising ageing lips.
But what’s involved?
Dermal lip filler surgery is very straightforward. Following a consultation with our experts, our team gets to work right away. After sterilising the lip area, clear gel is gently injected into the lips. You will then be offered an ice pack to apply to the lips to minimise any bruising or swelling. And that’s it!
Dermal lip fillers look natural, they make a vast difference to your overall look without radically changing your facial expressions and last for up to 12 months. The fillers biodegrade over time meaning that you don’t have to worry about having dermal lip fillers removed, so the overall procedure is not too invasive.
Dermal fillers for lips: before and after
If you’re interested in seeing images of dermal lip fillers before and after the treatment, take a look at our portfolio. Our patients are always delighted to see the instant results of dermal lip filler surgery.
These results slowly become more and more visible, with the full impact being apparent about ten days after treatment.
Are there any side effects to dermal fillers?
Some customers experience a few dermal lip filler side effects. It is fairly common to experience a little swelling or redness around the lips but this settles very quickly, usually within about ten minutes of your treatment. Very occasionally, some customers experience minor bruising but this is very rare.
If you do have some minor bruising, this can be easily covered up with makeup while you wait for the bruising to settle. Most customers do not experience bruising and are able to conduct their day-to-day activities straight after their treatment.
Do dermal fillers for lip lines work?
Yes. Many people feel self-conscious about their lip lines as they get older. Over time the skin around your lips can appear lined, especially when you smile or laugh. Our dermal lip fillers can smooth out lip lines, instantly creating a younger, fresher and healthier appearance.
Do dermal fillers for wrinkles around the lips work?
Certainly. If you have a history of smoking cigarettes, or you have wrinkles around the lips as a result of natural ageing, dermal lip fillers are a great way of smoothing out lip wrinkles.
Do cosmetic fillers for lips hurt?
Some of our customers experience minor pain during the procedure, particularly as the needle goes into the lips, but we can minimize this pain by applying a numbing cream to the area beforehand.
If you are nervous about needles then please discuss this with our team and they will do their best to put your mind at rest. As the filler contains an anesthetic, you will hardly feel it being inserted into your lips. Our team will always supply ice packs after the procedure to minimise any minor pain, swelling or bruising.
