Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are one of our most popular treatments at our Crystal Palace and West Norwood aesthetic clinics, with many patients choosing them to enhance their natural beauty.
Understanding Lip Enhancement
There is a considerable variation in lip shape, volume and upper to lower lip ratio depending on your age and ethnic background.
It is important to take these factors into consideration along with personal preference as to the type of shape you want and what fits with your overall facial features.
There are many different techniques available to enhance different parts of the lips. However, it is not always about having very large lips, as it is possible to give a very subtle look if that is something you prefer.
Lips are one area where it is very easy to over do, and look ‘done’. This is where we can use a biorejuvenating treatment as opposed to filler, if you are particularly concerned about this issue. That way the lips look hydrated without volume Everything will be discussed and reviewed as part of your consultation and a bespoke plan given.

What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of your lips. This procedure involves injecting a specially formulated substance into your lips to add volume, improve shape, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth area. At London & Surrey Aesthetics, we use this treatment to help our clients achieve fuller, more defined lips while maintaining a natural look.
Types of fillers we use
At our clinic, we exclusively use hyaluronic acid-based fillers for lip enhancement. Here’s why:
- Safety: Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your body, which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
- Reversibility: In the unlikely event that you’re not satisfied with the results, hyaluronic acid fillers can be easily dissolved using a special enzyme.
- Natural feel: These fillers integrate seamlessly with your lip tissue, ensuring a soft and natural feel.
- Gradual absorption: Hyaluronic acid fillers are slowly absorbed by your body over time, allowing for a gradual return to your natural lip appearance.
- Hydration: Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping your lips stay hydrated and smooth.
We use popular high-end brands known for their high quality and excellent safety profiles.
Lip Filler Procedure
The lip filler treatment is a relatively quick and simple procedure that can be performed in an aesthetic clinic. We use numbing cream to reduce any discomfort during the injections. A series of injections are used to help you achieve the desired lip look.
However, swelling, bruising and some discomfort are common side effects of the procedure, which usually subside within a few days.
Choosing the Right Practitioner
It is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner for your lip filler treatment. Practitioners who are trained in facial anatomy and injection techniques are best placed to ensure the best results and minimize any risks. A good practitioner will also be able to assess your individual needs and tailor a treatment plan to achieve the desired outcome. I am trained in many different techniques to optimise your lip structure.
Lip Filler Risks and Safety
Like any medical procedure, lip filler treatments carry certain risks, including the possibility of infection, uneven results, and adverse reactions.
It is important to discuss all potential risks and side effects with your practitioner and to follow their aftercare instructions to minimize any complications.
Lip Filler Results
Lip filler treatments can give a range of results, from subtle definition to a more dramatic enhancement. The results of the treatment will depend on the type of filler used, the amount of filler injected, and the individual’s anatomy and skin.
Most patients see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their lips, with results lasting anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the type of filler used.
Lip filler treatments can provide a range of cosmetic benefits, helping to enhance the appearance of the lips and restore a youthful look. If you are considering a lip filler treatment, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner, discuss your treatment plan in detail, and understand all the potential risks and benefits involved.
Downtime and Aftercare
Lip filler treatments typically have minimal downtime, with patients able to return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. It is important however to avoid wearing lipstick and other cosmetic products for at least 6-12 hours after the injections and to avoid excessive movement of the lip area to minimize swelling and discomfort. Do not touch the lips especially if you haven’t washed your hands – we carry a lot of germs on our hands.
No heat should be used for 48 hours and that includes drinking hot drinks as well as going into steam rooms or saunas. Heat can make the filler more malleable and it can then move to places we don’t wish it to go. High intensity exercise should be avoided for the first 48 hours, and alcohol should also be avoided for 24 hours too, as these increase the risk of bruising and of course increases heat. It is important not to massage the lips. If there are any small lumps at 2 weeks, please come back to clinic so that we can assess them. Massaging your lips can move the filler to places we don’t want it to go. Always use sunscreen after having filler treatment and avoid UV light for 48 hours after treatment. Avoid unnecessary pressure over the area treated especially in the first 24 hours.
