Do you want to have bigger lips, but don’t want to rely on fillers or surgery? The solution is laser lip enhancement, otherwise known as LipLase™.

At Centre for Surgery, we use Fotona’s LipLase™, which increases the fullness of the lips while maintaining a natural appearance.

About

LipLase™ is a non-invasive procedure which enhances the appearance of the lips. This method is appealing as it involves no incisions or injections. This is a day procedure, and you will be able to return to your usual daily routine immediately with little downtime involved.

LipLase™ uses heat pulses on and around the lips. This works to stimulate collagen production, which results in the lips becoming fuller and plumper over time.

There are many benefits to undergoing laser lip enhancement. These include:

No foreign materials (such as fillers) used
Little to no downtime
No needles
No bruising
Can return to work immediately

Candidates

You will be a suitable candidate if you wish to increase the appearance of your lips and do not wish to use fillers or undergo a surgical procedure such as a lip lift.

You will need to be at least 18 years old to undergo this procedure.

You will need to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.

Prior to undergoing this procedure, you will need to have a consultation with one of the surgeons, who will be able to tell you if you are a suitable candidate for this procedure.

Procedure

LipLase™ is a quick, non-invasive procedure. It will take around 20 minutes to complete.

You do not require any anaesthetic. However, if elected, a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area prior to treatment.

The laser energy then targets the deep tissue in the skin. This treatment stimulates the collagen production, which causes the lips to increase in volume.

To achieve the best results, you will generally need three to four treatments.

Recovery

This is a non-surgical procedure, so there is no recovery involved. You may feel heat for 30 minutes following the procedure.

You will notice your lips will peel; this will last for around two days following treatment.

You will be encouraged to keep your lips moist following treatment.

You will notice results improve slowly over time as the collagen continues to be produced. Results will continue to improve over four to six months.

I would recommend anyone looking to have a cosmetic surgery to visit the Centre For Surgery. I had two procedures done the same day, forehead osteoma excision and an open septo-rhinoplasty under their general anaesthesia technique – known as ClearSleep™, it allows you o be discharged the same day, right after the surgery you'll be able to get up and dress yourself with very little drowsiness that subsides within the following 30 minutes. The medical technique used by the surgeon for the rhinoplasty also made my recovery period very easy with little bruising and swelling that went away very quick. I didn't take any pain-killers as there was no need for them, only antibiotics pills for a week and some antibiotic cream for the incision between the nostrils.The process from first consultation to post-operative visits was a bliss. Nikesh Shah the patient coordinator was fantastic and made it all very easy for me as I live 6700 miles away from London and we needed to work around my visits to the UK. Dr Onur Gilleard is the kind of Surgeon you want, knowledgeable, patient, calm and reassuring, I had two visits pre-surgery and one post-surgery with him, every time I felt I was what mattered the most at that moment. The Nurses and the Anesthesiologist were fabulous during the day of the surgery, I wasn't particularly nervous but they made sure I had any questions answered prior to the surgery and had smile on their faces all the time while displaying high professionalism at all times. Post-operative visits went very well and eight days after my surgery I was flying back. It's been almost two months now and I'm very pleased with the results, which are very natural and most people after the second week couldn't tell I had any procedure done. You can have a chaperon and driver booked by the Centre For Surgery to go back to your hotel, it was a great service. Post-surgery you will be called every day to check how you are doing/feeling and if there is anything you need until you decide that the calls can stop.Overall a fantastic experience with the Centre for Surgery and their staff, which I have already recommended to many of my friends looking to have a cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Omar Tillo performed a bilateral otoplasty a few weeks ago and the results are better than I ever expected. I am very happy that I chose Dr. Tillo to perform my surgery. I visited both clinics for various appointments and they both are of a very high standard; all staff members were professional and very caring. I would highly recommend this practice. Thank you for the amazing job you performed.

I recently had a breast augumentation under Dr Omar Tillo and couldn't recommend him enough! He is a clear professional in what he does as I've had fantastic results!! I am quite an anxious person but Omar was very accommodating and patient with me in answering all queries and booked additional appointments for check ups. Thank you so much centre for surgery :)
