Lip filler is art.

Whether you want to enhance the cupid's bow, volumise the lips, so they don't disappear when you smile or softly smooth smokers' lines without adding volume, lip fillers are a powerful way to rejuvenate the face.

Everyone's lip anatomy is slightly different, so we always focus on enhancing the lips in a highly natural way, not to distort the natural shape but to enhance them whilst always respecting the natural anatomy.

A man wearing glasses, a face mask, and blue gloves is examining or treating a woman's nose in a medical setting. The woman is lying on a bed, with her head resting on a pillow, and looking upward.

Pre-Treatment Phase

  1. Initial Consultation: The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr Arun, who will assess your facial structure and lip structure, skin condition, and discuss your aesthetic goals.

  2. Medical Assessment: Your medical history will be reviewed to ensure you're a suitable candidate. Dr Arun will check for allergies, previous reactions to fillers, and any contraindications.

  3. Treatment Planning: Based on your facial anatomy and desired results, Dr Arun will develop a tailored treatment plan.

The Treatment Procedure

  1. Cleansing: Dr Arun thoroughly cleanses the treatment area to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities.

  2. Topical Anaesthetic Application: A numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort during the procedure. This typically requires 5 minutes to take effect.

  3. Treatment Mapping: Dr Arun then marks the areas to be injected, carefully planning placement for optimal results.

  4. Filler Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, the dermal filler (hyaluronic acid-based) is precisely injected into predetermined areas of the lips.

  5. Massage and Molding: Dr Arun gently massages the product to ensure even distribution and proper contouring.

  6. Final Assessment: Both Dr Arun and the patient evaluate the immediate results, with potential touch-ups applied as needed.

  7. Post-Treatment Care Instructions: Dr Arun provides detailed aftercare guidelines to optimise healing and results.

FAQs

  • Lip fillers typically last 12-24 months, though this varies considerably between individuals. Some patients find their results last towards the shorter end of this range, whilst others enjoy longer-lasting results. The longevity depends on multiple factors including metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount injected.

  • No, hyaluronic acid lip fillers are not permanent. They are temporary treatments that gradually break down naturally over time.

  • Yes and no. You'll see an immediate change in your lip volume and shape, but this isn't your final result. Immediately after treatment, your lips will be swollen (sometimes significantly), which can mask the true result.

    Your final, settled results will be visible approximately 2-4 weeks after treatment, once all swelling has subsided and the filler has fully integrated into the tissue.

  • Normal side effects include:

    • Swelling (peaks at 24-48 hours, resolves within 1-2 weeks)

    • Minor bruising

    • Tenderness to touch

    • Slight asymmetry during the swelling phase

    • Small bumps that resolve as filler settles

    Contact Dr Karwal if you experience:

    • Severe pain

    • Significant asymmetry that worsens rather than improves

    • White or blanched areas (could indicate vascular compromise)

    • Signs of infection (increasing redness, warmth, pus)

    • Difficulty opening your mouth

    • Any concerning symptoms
