Lip Fillers
Procedure Overview and Results
Depending on the product, lip fillers use hyaluronic acid to add volume or definition, with treatment planned around your lips and the changes you have in mind. At your consultation, Dr Kamila reviews your health history and advises whether treatment is appropriate. We explain the procedure, possible side effects and aftercare before you decide. Local anaesthesia may be a numbing cream or dental anaesthesia; injections can still cause discomfort. The filler is placed using a fine needle. The appearance can change as swelling settles. A follow-up visit provides time to review your response and any concerns. The duration depends on the filler used and your individual response.

Lip Fillers
Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin that binds water. Treatment can help add volume and define the lip contour, depending on the filler used. The amount and placement are planned around your lips and the changes you have in mind, with attention to their shape and proportions.
Pre-Treatment Recommendations
- Tell Dr Kamila about any history of cold sores before your
appointment - Tell us if you have had lip tattooing recently, so we can advise on the timing of filler treatment
- Agree the timing of any further injections after dissolving filler at a review
- Ask about saunas, sun exposure and exercise before treatment
- Review medicines and preparation with us in advance. Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from your prescriber.
Post-Treatment Care
- Avoid sudden temperature changes
- Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24-48 hours
- Avoid saunas, hot showers, steam rooms
- Avoid touching or massaging the area
- Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours; discuss medicines without stopping prescribed treatment
- Avoid dental work or facial massage for at least 2 weeks
- Apply an ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth to help with swelling; avoid direct contact with
the skin - Stay hydrated
