What is the lip filler and why have it?

Beautiful lips are your ticket to a radiant smile. They enhance facial symmetry and boost confidence. The lip fillers are used to augment the volume and shape of your lips in order to attain the luscious effect you desire.

Many women chose the lip fillers procedure at Dr. Ducu Clinics for their ability to instantly add volume and definition, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance.

How does lip filler work?

The lip filler procedure involves the injection of substances called dermal fillers.Those are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body and is known for its ability to retain moisture.This process not only enhances the size of the lips but also improves their contour and definition, giving a fuller and more youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers usually last around 6 to 12 months. Over time, the body gradually absorbs the filler material, and the lips return to their original state. Repeat treatments are needed.

What is the difference between lip fillers and lip lift?

A lip lift and lip fillers are both cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance of the lips, but they differ in their approach and results. 

A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose, lifting the upper lip to give a fuller, more youthful look. 

In contrast, lip fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips to add volume, shape, and definition.

Key differences:

  • Procedure – Lip lift is surgical, while lip fillers are non-surgical injections.
  • Results – Lip lift creates a permanent change in lip position, whereas lip fillers offer temporary volume enhancement.
  • Recovery – Lip lift requires a longer recovery time (typically 1-2 weeks), while lip fillers have minimal downtime.
  • Longevity – Lip lift results are permanent, while fillers last about 6-12 months before needing a touch-up
  • Target area – Lip lift focuses on lifting the upper lip, while lip fillers can add volume to both the upper and lower lips.

Each procedure has its own benefits, depending on the desired result. Book a consultation today to learn what procedure is best for you!

Lip augmentation at Dr. Ducu Clinics London

1. Consultation

First of all, you will have a meeting with a qualified professional at Dr. Ducu Clinics who will assess your facial structure, discuss your Cosmetic & Medical goals and explains the options available. You can ask questions and address concerns, and the practitioner will evaluate if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

2. Lip injections

During the procedure, the lips are cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimise discomfort. The hyaluronic acid-based filler is then carefully injected into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired volume and shape. The practitioner might massage the lips slightly to distribute the filler evenly.

3. Aftercare

After getting the lip injections, you will be advised on how to care for your lips to minimise swelling and bruising. This may include applying ice, avoiding strenuous exercise, and keeping hydrated. You will be instructed to avoid applying pressure or massaging the lips for a few days to allow the filler to settle properly.

4. Results

The lip enhancement is noticeable immediately, but the full effect is seen after the swelling subsides, usually within a few days to a week. The results are temporary, lasting from 6 to 18 months, after which the procedure can be repeated to maintain the desired appearance.

Lip fillers London - Frequently asked questions

People with thin lips often seek lip fillers as a cosmetic solution to enhance their lip volume and achieve a fuller, more pronounced pout. Ideal candidates for lip fillers are those who are looking to enhance the appearance of their lips by adding volume, shape, or structure.

At Dr. Ducu Clinics, we exclusively utilise dermal fillers from reputable brands, ensuring that all products meet the highest standards of safety and effectiveness. In your consultation, our doctor will carefully determine the most appropriate filler type for your needs, considering the level of contouring required, and the outcomes you wish to achieve.

The effects of lip fillers are visible immediately after the procedure, although the final results are more apparent once the initial swelling and bruising subside. This usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks. During this period, the filler settles into place, and the lips adjust to their new shape and volume, revealing the complete outcome of the treatment.

Lip fillers aren’t permanent and dissolve naturally over time. Depending on which filler you choose, the results of the injections can last from six months to over a year.

While lip filler treatment carries minimal risks, some possible side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites.

After the procedure the following activities are forbidden, for at least 3 weeks in most cases: manipulating the area(s) of injection, alcohol use, exposure to sun or other types of radiations, extreme temperatures (such as hot/cold showers, sauna, etc), using products for skin that are not recommended by the doctor for the area undergoing the procedure, makeup (may be not recommended for a period of time), any movements or actions of/on the area that can affect or traumatise the area (such as massaging the area, hitting, procedures or treatments on the area unless previously being assessed and deemed suitable by a healthcare practitioner).

There may be some swelling and bruising post procedure whichis a normal reaction, if any concerns please contact the Dr Ducu London team. We will always keep in contact with you to ensure you are well and for any enquires please feel free to contact us any time.

 You can express your desired outcome to your provider and they will devise a treatment plan that best suits you. Ultimately, the decision hinges on whether you prefer a significantly fuller pout or merely wish to enhance your lips with a slight increase in volume.

The price it’s determinate by the amount that the doctor will be using to achieve the results and the number of areas that need to be treated. The best course of action will be to book in a consultation with one of our doctors.

Wearing glasses after nose filler injections typically won’t damage the filler itself, but it may affect the distribution of the filler. It’s advisable to avoid wearing glasses or any other items that put pressure on the nose for the first few days after the procedure.

Lip fillers, when administered correctly by a qualified professional, are safe and do not cause permanent damage to the lips. However, they can cause allergic reactions or other side effects, but their risk is minimum.
