Lip Fillers

Beautifully balanced lips — enhancing shape, definition and volume while keeping your results natural.

What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler uses a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler carefully placed into selected areas of the lips to enhance their shape, structure and volume.

Treatment isn’t simply about making lips bigger. Depending on your natural anatomy and what you’d like to achieve, filler can be used to define the lip border, enhance the Cupid’s bow, restore lost volume or improve overall balance and proportion.

My approach is intentionally conservative. I would always rather build your result gradually than add too much product in one appointment.

The goal is for your lips to still look like your lips — just beautifully enhanced.

What Can Lip Filler Help With?

  • Volume — subtly enhancing naturally thin lips or restoring fullness that has reduced over time
  • Definition — creating a more defined lip border and Cupid’s bow
  • Balance — improving proportion between the upper and lower lip and addressing minor asymmetry
  • Shape — enhancing your natural lip shape while respecting your individual anatomy
  • Hydration & softness — creating a smoother, plumper appearance

What Happens at Your Appointment?

  1. Consultation & Assessment

    We’ll discuss what you’d like to change and what you’d prefer to keep natural. I’ll assess your lips, facial proportions and symmetry, take a medical history and explain what can realistically be achieved.

  2. Numbing

    Numbing cream is applied before treatment to make your appointment as comfortable as possible. Many dermal fillers also contain local anaesthetic.

  3. Your Treatment

    Filler is carefully placed in small amounts, with your lip shape, balance and symmetry assessed throughout.

    The treatment itself usually takes around 30 minutes.

  4. Aftercare & Healing

    Some swelling, tenderness and bruising are normal following lip filler and the lips may initially look fuller or slightly uneven while swelling settles.

    You’ll receive full aftercare instructions and information on the signs that would require you to contact me urgently.

  5. Two-Week Review

    Your lips can be reviewed once the initial swelling has settled and the filler has had time to integrate.

    This allows us to assess your final result and discuss whether anything further is appropriate.

Your lips — just beautifully enhanced.

Common questions

Will my lips look natural?

Yes, if that is what you want, and it is what I recommend. The amount used is agreed at your consultation, and a first treatment is usually conservative. You can always build on it later.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream and the anaesthetic in the filler mean most people feel pressure rather than pain. Lips are sensitive, so I take it slowly.

How long does the swelling last?

Swelling is usually at its worst the next day and settles over two to three days. The final result is clear at around two weeks, which is why the review is booked then.

How long do lip fillers last?

Usually six to twelve months. Lips move constantly, so filler breaks down faster there than in other areas.

Can I have lip filler before an event?

Leave at least two weeks, so any swelling or bruising has gone and there is time for your review.

Who can’t have lip filler?

It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, if you have an active cold sore or infection near the lips, or with some medical conditions and medications, which are checked at consultation. It is illegal to give lip filler to anyone under 18 in England.
