Lip fillers- What is the lowdown?

Lip fillers enhance the natural shape of your lips and give you the desired pout you have never achieved before, they replace lost volume through ageing and plump out any lines that are there whatever age you are.

Lip fillers are a semi permanent implant. It is an augmentation because we are putting something into your body. The product is soft and malleable, we insert into the lip tissue and massage the lip filler into place.  It is my goal to produce only natural looking healthy lips. 

Unfortuately lip fillers have been given a really bad name in the press, due to alot of celebrity abuse and tabloid exposure. I believe it is our moral duty to promote only natural looking aesthetic treatments and strive for this aesthetic to become the precedent compared to a very stretched over done look. 

It can take 2 weeks or more for the lips to heal and it is very normal for swelling, tenderness and bruising. Some bruising can last a few weeks, it is totally up to the individual on how the body heals.  

Lip fillers last around 6-9 months, your body motabilises them over time and this can be affected by your lifestyle too- exercise, drinking and party drugs can affect the lifetime span of the lip fillers. 

Your at home aftercare consists of massaging your lips for 3 days post treatment, drinking at tleast 3 litres of water a day for 3 days after treatment, avoiding heat, sauna steam treatments for 2 weeks, avoiding heavy exercise and abstaining from alcohol for 24 hours post treatment. You can apply make up the next day to cover any skin bruising.
