NATURAL LIP FILLER TREATMENTS
Naturally subtle, defined, and hydrated lips crafted by Dr. Victoria
Lip Filler can be used to add volume, definition, hydration or all three! When performed in a safe and natural way, it can help make the face more youthful and restore balance and symmetrical look to the face.
​
Dr. Victoria will always perform an indepth consultation and facial analysis at each appointment to best devise a treatment plan for your individual goals. You will always receive honest advice and a treatment plan that will respect and compliment your face as a whole.
​​
Using masterfully placed, precision injections alongside her in-depth anatomy knowledge, Dr. Victoria uses small volumes of hyaluronic acid filler to enhance patients own natural beauty and uniqueness.
The goal is to look like you have naturally great lips, not great lip filler.
Less really is more when it comes to lip filler.
​​It is generally recommended to have no more than 0.7ml lip filler in one sitting as higher volumes risk lip filler migration and an unnatural look.
​​
For more than this, it is better to add volume in more than one sitting over a period of months to give a more natural appearance with less migration risk.
​
The lips are a very mobile area of the face and if too much filler is injected, the movements of the mouth can push it out around the borders of the lips which looks unnatural and ageing.

LIP FILLER FAQs
Does lip filler hurt? Dr. Victoria offers an advanced local anaesthetic for lip filler treatments- this is similar to numbing injections at the dentist which will ensure you feel nothing during the treatment.
How long will lip filler last? The duration will vary from patient to patient, and can be effected by individuals metabolism, lifestyle, medical history and other factors. Generally premium products such as Belotero or Teoxane will last 9-18 months.
What should I expect after lip filler? It is normally to have some swelling after treatment, which mostly settles by 48 hours but can take upto one week in some individuals. It is also typical to have some brusiing in the delicate lip area which should disappear fully by two weeks. Always leave 2 weeks between filler treatment and a big event. Full integration of the filler into the tissues can take 6-12 weeks.
Are there any risks with lip filler? Some bruising and swelling are typical, which usuallky settles at 2 weeks. There is always a risk that cold sores could be reactivated and flare after any dermal filler treatment- Dr. Victoria may prescribe anti-virals to reduce this risk. There is a small risk of infection, despite treatment being performed in a sterile condition as the skin is pierced- it is important to follow the aftercare to minimise this risk. The most serious complication with lip filler is if filler were to inadvertently be placed in an artery and block the blood flow. This is very rare, but were it to occur Dr. Victoria is extensively trained in recognising and treating these complications.
