About
Ageing can often have a negative effect on the look and size of the lips. Lips may decrease in size, or appear more droopy or flat. Because the skin on your lips is so thin, they become damaged easier, particularly by elements such as the sun and wind. These factors can result in lips that age your appearance. To remedy this, Centre for Surgery offers dermal fillers.
If you consider your lips to be too thin, you may wish to enhance them with dermal fillers. This is a type of lip enhancement which involves plumping injections. This will give the lips extra definition, as well as see a reduction in lines around the mouth. These injections will last around six months.
Candidates
All patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with dermal fillers
We do not treat patients below the age of 18 years of age.
Healing is better if patients refrain from or quit smoking.
The lip enhancement procedure is performed purely for cosmetic purposes, to help improve one’s image and self-esteem.
Procedure
Getting lip fillers is a short and simple process. As it is a non-surgical procedure, it results in no downtime.
Dermal fillers involve injecting fine needles into your lips. Using thin needles means there is less trauma at the injection site.
The lip fillers will result in you having lips that have increased volume, more definition and contouring. You will also notice fewer lines surrounding the lips, resulting in a more youthful looking face.
After the injections, you may notice some bruising, swelling, redness and tenderness. This can be reduced by applying ice to the area. You will not be allowed to apply any cosmetics, such as lipstick, to your lips directly after the procedure.
Most people will be able to return to work straight after having dermal fillers.
While the results of the dermal fillers will be noticeable once the swelling goes down, the lips will reduce in size over time. After about six months, you will require more lip fillers if you want to maintain the same size of your lips.
Recovery
As this is not a surgical procedure, there is no downtime for lip fillers. In some rare cases, you may notice bruising or swelling after the injections, but this will fade with time.
FAQs
Reasons for considering lip enhancement: plumping up of thin lips or to create a look with more volume, improving lip asymmetry, mouth shape, the gum appearance

At Centre for Surgery, we perform lip enhancement under local anaesthesia.
Injections with Lip Fillers can be performed with little to no downtime. The surgeon will numb the area to be treated and take precautions to minimise your pain.
The procedure takes about 25 minutes.
There are more invasive procedures, however, the results for the lip enhancement we offer lasts for about six to nine months on average. After this timeframe, you will need additional lip fillers if you want to maintain the same look.
Yes, Centre for Surgery can use an enzyme which will dissolve the fillers.
There is zero downtime for lip enhancement but in very few cases the patient’s lips may swell and bruise for the first few days, but very rare.
Side effects include redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising and discolouration at the injection sites.
These effects typically resolve very quickly but may last up to two days after treatment.
There is little or no discomfort – local anaesthetic and ice packs will be used to keep you as comfortable as possible.
The will be some moderate swelling after the procedure, however, this should go down after two days.
Lip enhancement does not involve incisions and so you will not have any scars.
You can go back to your normal routine right after the procedure, however, we recommend you to wait for 24 hours before you go back to the gym.
Lip plumping can often be dangerous, particularly if you attempt to do it yourself at home. Lip fillers, on the other hand, will be injected by a trained and qualified surgeon, who will be able to monitor you after the procedure.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.

Honestly, I was supposed to have a surgery at another private hospital (this hospital was supposed to be one of the best in london) but I chose to get my surgery done at center for surgery instead, my main reason for this was the level of service I recieved, the staff are very professional, they are caring (I had not eaten the entire day on the day of my surgery and one of the nurses got me some food without me asking her to do so. My surgery itself was amazing considering I never had one before and was a bit nervous beforehand. The staff calls you everyday to make sure you are ok and coping post surgery. Honestly I cannot thank the staff enough.
