LIPS & DERMAL FILLER
These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation.
There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips and around your mouth. But the most common fillers today are products that contain substances similar to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It helps increase volume in your lips.
These types of dermal fillers are sometimes called "hyaluronic acid fillers."
Hyaluronic acid fillers can improve the appearance of your lips by adding:
Shape
Structure
Volume
HOW MUCH DO I NEED?
We use Belotero Lips which is a unique dual dermal filler approach to lips. It gives a customised natural enhancement to your lips. The first filler (0.6ml) outlines, contours and shapes (like a lip liner) and the second filler (0.6ml) adds volume where it is needed. A single product is often not versatile enough to deliver the natural, personalized result that most people are looking for. One size definitely doesn’t fit all.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET MY LIPS DONE?
At the beginning of the procedure, it feels like a pinch and then it stings as the filler is being injected. Afterward, Dr. Kelleher will massage your lips a little, ice them for 10 minutes, and then let you go about your day.
You can choose to have your lips numbed beforehand with a dental nerve block or a topical aesthetic. Dr. Kelleher can numb the area around your lips with an injection into your gums (a standard dental injection) or you can opt for a numbing cream.
You will see the results almost immediately. Your lips will be a swollen at first but you'll see the effects of the fillers pretty quickly. Give your lips 24 hours to settle and the swelling to calm. Then you'll be seeing your filled-out lips as they will be for the next few months.
Some slight bruising and bleeding at the site of injection is normal and expected. The bruises should fade after five to seven days.
IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
You might want to try lip fillers, which add or restore fullness to your lips, because:
your lips have lost definition over the years;
you’re tired of using makeup to enhance your pout and want something longer lasting;
you think that a more defined smile and shapelier lips would suit your face better.
ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW?
Ten days prior to your procedure, avoid painkillers (except Tylenol), fish oil, and vitamin E, which tend to thin the blood. Thinner blood will make the area more prone to bruising and bleeding.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Belotero Lips is a premium lip enhancement using 2 different dermal fillers. It costs €400 for 1.2ml. We also offer standard lip filler using Teoxane kiss 1.0ml for €350.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
HA fillers last about four to six months. But if your body is on the thinner side, you'll metabolize the formula faster and the injections won't last as long.
WHAT IF I DON'T LIKE IT?
You can completely erase HA fillers if you don't like how your lips turn out for whatever reason. Because HA is not permanent, we can inject an eraser enzyme called hyaluronidase. The enzyme will dissolve the filler in five minutes if you're unhappy with the initial results.
