LIP FILLERS

Lip filler is art.

Whether you want to enhance the cupid's bow, volumise the lips, so they don't disappear when you smile or softly smooth smokers' lines without adding volume, lip fillers are a powerful way to rejuvenate the face.

Everyone's lip anatomy is slightly different, so we always focus on enhancing the lips in a highly natural way, not to distort the natural shape but to enhance them whilst always respecting the natural anatomy.

Prices start from £400

Pre-Treatment Phase

  1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr Arun, who will assess your facial structure and lip structure, skin condition, and discuss your aesthetic goals.

  2. Medical Assessment: Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure you're a suitable candidate. Dr Arun will check for allergies, previous reactions to fillers, and any contraindications.

  3. Treatment Planning: Based on your facial anatomy and desired results, Dr Arun will develop a tailored treatment plan.

The Treatment Procedure

  1. Cleansing: Dr Arun thoroughly cleanses the treatment area to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities.

  2. Topical Anaesthetic Application: A numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure. This typically requires 5 minutes to take effect.

  3. Treatment Mapping: Dr Arun then marks the areas to be injected, carefully planning placement for optimal results.

  4. Filler Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the dermal filler (hyaluronic acid-based) is precisely injected into predetermined areas of the lips.

  5. Massage and Molding: Dr Arun gently massages the product to ensure even distribution and proper contouring.

  6. Final Assessment: Both Dr Arun and the patient evaluate the immediate results, with potential touch-ups applied as needed.

  7. Post-Treatment Care Instructions: Dr Arun provides detailed aftercare guidelines to optimise healing and results.

FAQs

    • Consultation: 15-20 minutes to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations

    • Preparation: 10-15 minutes for cleansing the area and applying topical numbing cream

    • Actual injection: 15-30 minutes depending on the extent of enhancement desired

    • Post-procedure care discussion: 5-10 minutes

    In total, you should plan to spend approximately 45-60 minutes at the clinic for a lip filler appointment. The procedure itself is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, allowing most patients to return to their normal activities immediately afterward.

  • Aftercare Notes:

    Needle entry points, redness, bruising, swelling and asymmetry around injection sites immediately after treatment is normal due to the very nature of the treatment.

    There may also be some tenderness present as the bruising and inflammation sets in. These symptoms will resolve over the next 2-7 days, depending on your individual response to the treatment. It may take a full 2-4 weeks for all swelling to settle; until this time we cannot re-treat.

  • This treatment typically lasts for approximately 12–24 months before requiring a top-up. The longevity of results varies based on several factors.

    • Treatment Area: Fillers in highly mobile areas such as lips tend to break down faster than less mobile areas

    • Metabolism: People with faster metabolisms may break down fillers more quickly

    • Lifestyle: Sun exposure, smoking, saunas and intense physical activity can reduce longevity

    • Injection Technique: The skill of the injector can impact how long results last

    • Type of Filler: dense fillers tend to last longer than soft fillers.

    • First 24-48 hours: Expect the most noticeable swelling, possible bruising, and tenderness at injection sites.

    • 3-5 days: Most of the swelling and bruising should significantly decrease.

    • 1-2 weeks: All visible signs of the procedure typically resolve completely.

  • No lip fillers are not permanent. We use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which can be reversed anytime.

  • In our experience, 0.5ml of filler is usually enough to create stunning and natural results and prevent the lip from appearing overfilled. However, for some clients, 1ml can be appropriate. During the consultation, we can assess the lips in detail and advise on the appropriate volume to use in each circumstance.

  • Yes, the results are immediate. You will also experience some swelling at first, lasting 3-5 days. All swelling settles entirely by the 2-week mark.

    1. No alcohol or exercise for 24 hours

    2. No hot showers or sauna/steam rooms for the rest of the day

    3. No hot drinks, smoking or drinking from straws for the rest of the day.

  • We use Juvederm for lip enhancement as it gives the softest and most natural look.

  • Absolutely not. At Karwal Aesthetics, we focus on natural enhancements and never aim to create fake-looking results. There are two main reasons why lip filler can begin to look unnatural, and these are due to 1) overfilling and 2) migration of product. In most instances, 0.5ml of product is enough to create stunning results without causing any migration or an overly full appearance. Some people with naturally larger lips can tolerate 1ml. We advise not to have more than 1ml of lip filler per year, reducing migration likelihood. Migration can cause a slight ledge to form above the lip, which leads to the classic "duck lips". The injection technique is also crucial, and we use the best techniques to respect your lip's natural anatomy to achieve beautiful results.
