How does lip filler work?

There are many types of injectable fillers that are used to augment the shape of your lips. Due to its many benefits, the most commonly used substance for lip filler treatments is hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid can enhance the appearance of lips by modifying three qualities

  • The shape of lips
  • Lip volume
  • Lip structure

Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in our body. Its purpose is to hydrate tissues and is found in all tissues of the body. It works by attracting the water molecules to the tissue it’s in, thus adding volume. When injected into lips, the lips will expand in volume and become fuller. It also helps your lips hydrate from within resulting in natural, plump and beautiful looking lips.

What are the Benefits of Lip Filler Treatment?

The moment you leave our surgery your lips will be plump and full of new alluring volume.

The increase in volume and definition can last between 4 to 6 months with hyaluronic acid fillers.

This is because the hyaluronic acid material used in our lip fillers is similar to a substance naturally produced by our body for the purpose of adding volume to our lips.

Our skilled clinicians can control the amount of lip filler material that is injected, therefore allowing better control over how much volume is created. Furthermore, the increase in volume can be carried out gradually until the desired lip volume is achieved.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by our body. Therefore, hyaluronic acid lip fillers will add a natural looking fullness to your lips with reduced risk of bruising and swelling. 

There is little downtime after lip filler treatment is carried out and most of our patients are able to resume their daily activities within 24 hours.

There is usually some minor discomfort during the procedure. Many dermal fillers contain lidocaine, which is a local anaesthetic. Further measures can be taken to make the cosmetic procedure as comfortable as possible such as applying numbing cream to the areas of treatment. A complete nerve block may be carried out similar to that of traditional dental procedures. This is will completely remove all sensations during treatment. With the right highly trained clinician, lip filler treatment should be a fairly comfortable treatment to carry out.

There is an initial consultation, where one of our highly trained clinicians will carry out a facial analysis and discuss what you’d like to achieve and your treatment options. Treatment appointment times typically take around 30 minutes.

 Avoid using make-up and lip balms for a minimum of 2 hours. Avoid activities involving extreme heats such as sauna, steam rooms and sun beds until any swelling subsides. A cold pack or ice may be used to help reduce any initial swelling.  A review appointment may be arranged after your first treatment to assess your progress.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours
  • Avoid lip balm and lip stick for a minimum of 2 hours 
  • Avoid spicy foods (might sting injection sites) and salty foods as they dehydrate you. 
  • Avoid applying any pressure to your lips
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
  • Avoid activities involving extreme heats like saunas, steam rooms and sun beds. 
  • Avoid taking drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen unless they have been prescribed by your GP. 

With the right highly trained cosmetic dentist, lip filler and lip augmentation procedures are a safe cosmetic procedure to carry out. For this reason it is important to ensure the treatment is carried out by an experienced and fully qualified professional with a high level of knowledge of facial anatomy. This will greatly minimise the risk of side effects and complications. This will be discussed in detail with the cosmetic dentist before any procedure is carried out.  

There are various different materials that are used for lip filler treatments. At Queensways Dental Practice, we only use hyaluronic acid lip fillers due to their many benefits. Hyaluronic acid is a smooth naturally occuring substance which adds volume and provides contour to your lips. 

Lip filler treatment will give an immediate result following the procedure. Some of the added volume in the first 24 hours is due to swelling which will quickly subside. Ice may be used to reduce this initial swelling. Within 2-3 days, lips will return to their injection volume and will then gradually soften further over 2-3 weeks to their natural, soft and full feel. 

Results do vary with each individual, as your metabolism can affect the speed at which hyaluronic acid is broken down. A conservative estimate would be 4-6 months. Results do tend to last even longer with successive injections as it takes longer for the body to breakdown the hyaluronic acid. 

Side effects of hyaluronic lip filler cosmetic treatment are temporary and normally last 2-3 days. These include:

  • Swelling of the lips
  • Bleeding and tenderness at the injection sites
  • Reactivation of cold sore at the lips

 

After a few days of possible swelling, your lips will go back to their new fuller more defined volume. 

And after around 6 months, your lips will go back to how they were before lip filler treatment was carried out. 

It’s all about the planning. If for example you have a wedding coming up and want to look your best, we would recommend having your cosmetic lip filler treatment at least 3 weeks before the big day. If its your first time having lip fillers, we would advise having the treatment 4-6 weeks before. 

Absolutely! It’s very common for our patients to have Teeth Whitening and Botox treatments, both great ways of enhancing your natural beauty and giving you a more youthful look.
