Lip Fillers

Do you have lips which have decreased in size, look droopy or flat? Have your lips always been too thin for your liking? If you would like to have lips with more volume, you may wish to consider lip fillers.

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.

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.

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.

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.
