Dermal Fillers are natural complex sugars (known as hyaluronic acid) that gives volume to the skin. When used for a Lip Enhancement, the filler helps to restore volume, body and define the border of the lips. A Lip Enhancement can effectively improve the overall appearance and beauty of one’s facial features. At Cosmos Clinic, we only inject the highest quality of Dermal Filler products that are sources from one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. These Dermal Fillers are made from natural substances and are commonly used to augment the lips. Product selection will vary according to the patient’s requirements and their desired outcome.

Some of the reasons for considering Dermal Lip Fillers include:

• Adding volume to naturally thin lips
• Reducing the appearance of lip lines (smokers lines) around the mouth
• Lip border definition
• Lifting the upper lip so to have a youthful upward appearance

During a Lip Filler procedure, numbing cream and an ice pack is used to numb the treatment area. This will help minimise any discomfort felt during the procedure. Either a doctor or registered cosmetic nurse will then injected product into the lips and lip area – resulting in beautiful, luscious lips. Immediate results are seen after the treatment.

The Dermal Fillers used at Cosmos Clinic have a built in anaesthetic; so there is no need for a painful anaesthetic block. This built in anaesthetic in the filler helps with any discomfort (which is usually very minimal).

As the lips and mouth are sensitive areas, following the procedure you will experience minor swelling for approximately one to two days. In some cases, mild swelling and bruising may persist for up to one week around the injection site. You will also need to avoid wearing make-up for the first 24 hours following the procedure.

Results of this cosmetic procedure are seen immediately after the initial treatment, however full results are evident approximately one week after all the swelling subsides. Results last approximately from 6 – 12 months, and can vary from patient to patient.

Dermal Fillers in the lips are very safe and it is rare to have any complications. If you don’t like the shape of your lips, we only use naturally occurring fillers that can be dissolved with Hyalase. This can restore the lips to their original shape and form.

Your initial Lip Enhancement consultation and subsequent procedure can be undertaken at any one of our cosmetic clinics within Australia. Our practices are in Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide or the Gold Coast.
