Lip Fillers

Lip fillers can be used to treat the following concerns at Dr Grace Kelly Aesthetic Skin Clinic in Chalfont St Peter: lip lines, thin lips and asymmetric lips. We always carry out a thorough consultation prior to any lip enhancement treatment. During this session, you will discuss both your concerns and your desired outcome with one of our doctors. This information, along with details of your general health and medical history, will determine if lip fillers are suitable for you.

Dermal fillers are considered to be a safe treatment for lip augmentation. The products used at our lip fillers clinic in Buckinghamshire are of the highest quality, and are FDA approved. Your well-being is our priority, and our experienced medical professionals ensure your lip filler journey is approached with the utmost care.

As the skin and tissues on and around the lips are more delicate in nature compared to the rest of the face, you may feel some slight discomfort with lip enhancement treatment. It is for this reason that lip fillers contain a mild anaesthetic – lidocaine, however we understand that everyone has a different tolerance level. We can discuss the use of a numbing cream at the consultation in Chalfont St Peter.

Swelling is to be expected following the lip filler injections, with redness and bruising also likely. These effects are usually minor and have often settled within 24 hours, and patients do not often feel significant downtime is necessary. In some cases headaches, flu-like symptoms and irregular contouring is experienced, but further complications are rare. These will be discussed during the consultation at our lip fillers clinic in Buckinghamshire .

Our Chalfont St Peter doctors will usually advise that for 6 hours after lip fillers have been applied, patients should avoid: touching the mouth, hot baths / showers, sun exposure, cold temperatures and the wind. Following this advice will help to ensure that when the full outcome has developed, it produces the desired lip augmentation result.
