GP-led treatment
Soft definition, shape and hydration, planned by a GP around your features rather than a trend.
About the treatment
Lip filler uses a hyaluronic acid gel to add soft volume, improve shape and definition, or rebalance the upper and lower lip. The aim is lips that suit your face: hydrated, defined and in proportion, rather than an obviously "done" look.
Every treatment is planned by a GP after a face-to-face consultation. A conservative amount of product is used, and you can choose to build gradually over more than one appointment.
Your full medical history is reviewed at consultation, so this list is a guide only.
Step by step
Swelling, tenderness and bruising are common for the first few days, and lips often look fuller than the final result at first. Most swelling settles within one to two weeks, so it is best not to book treatment just before an important event.
Lip filler usually lasts around 6 to 12 months. The lips move constantly, so filler here tends to break down faster than in other areas. How long it lasts depends on the product, your metabolism and your lifestyle.
If your vision changes after a facial injectable treatment, call 999 or go to A&E straight away and tell them what treatment you have recently had. Do not wait for a reply from the clinic. If you have severe or increasing pain, or the skin turns pale, dusky or blotchy, contact the clinic immediately, or get urgent medical help if you cannot reach us.

Lip Filler FAQs
The aim is a natural, balanced result. A conservative amount is used, and it is always easier to add a little more at a later appointment than to take it away.
Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. Most lip fillers contain a local anaesthetic, and numbing cream can be discussed at your appointment.
Usually around 6 to 12 months, depending on the product, your metabolism and lifestyle. Many people choose a smaller top-up rather than a full treatment when it starts to fade.
You will see a change straight away, but swelling can make the lips look fuller at first. The final result is usually clearer after about two weeks.
Hyaluronic acid filler can sometimes be dissolved after a clinical assessment. Dissolving is a medical treatment in its own right, with its own risks, and it cannot guarantee a return to how you looked before.
Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common. Other possible complications include infection, lumps that persist, asymmetry and delayed inflammation. Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel and damage the skin or other tissue, and very rarely this can cause permanent loss of vision. Careful technique lowers these risks but cannot remove them. Your practitioner will explain the risks that apply to your treatment.
