Lip Filler Liverpool

Lip filler is a cosmetic injectable treatment that enhances the lips by adding volume, improving shape, and defining contours. Made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body, lip fillers provide a soft, natural feel while maintaining hydration and smoothness. They are commonly used to create fuller lips, correct asymmetry, and reduce fine lines around the mouth.

Lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and the type of filler used. Over time, the body naturally breaks down the filler, and top-up treatments are recommended to maintain results.

Most people experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimise pain. Some may feel a slight pinching or pressure during the injections, but the process is quick and well-tolerated.

Yes, lip fillers are safe when administered by a trained and experienced professional. Since they are made of hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in the body, the risk of allergic reactions is low. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness can occur but usually subsides within a few days.

Swelling is a normal reaction after lip filler injections. To reduce it:

• Apply a cold compress (avoid direct ice contact)
• Keep your head elevated while sleeping
• Drink plenty of water and avoid salty foods
• Take an antihistamine if recommended by your practitioner
• Avoid strenuous exercise and heat exposure for 24-48 hours

At JTMedical, lip fillers start from £140 to £350, depending on the amount of filler used and the desired results. A consultation is recommended to assess your goals and determine the best treatment plan.

Swelling is most noticeable within the first 24-48 hours and usually subsides within 3 to 5 days. In some cases, minor residual swelling can last up to two weeks, after which the final results become visible.

Mild swelling is normal, but seek medical advice if you experience:

• Severe pain or swelling that worsens instead of improving
• Lumps or hard nodules that don’t go away after two weeks
• Bluish or white patches on the lips (which could indicate blood vessel blockage)
• Signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, or pus

Yes, Vaseline or a gentle lip balm can be used after lip fillers to keep the lips moisturised. However, avoid excessive rubbing or pressure on the lips for at least 24 hours.

Yes, antihistamines like cetirizine or loratadine can help reduce swelling, especially if you’re prone to allergic reactions. Always check with your practitioner before taking any medication post-treatment.

No, lip fillers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is limited research on the effects of dermal fillers on pregnant women, so it is best to wait until after pregnancy for treatment.

Sunbeds can increase swelling and irritation, so it’s best to avoid them for at least two weeks after lip fillers. If you must use a sunbed, apply a high-SPF lip balm (SPF 30 or higher) and keep lips hydrated to prevent dryness.

After getting lip fillers, follow these aftercare tips:

• Avoid touching or massaging your lips for at least 24 hours
• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water
• Avoid alcohol and salty foods that can worsen swelling
• Skip intense exercise and heat exposure for 48 hours
• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling if needed

Yes, you can eat after lip filler, but stick to soft foods for the first few hours. Avoid hot, spicy, or salty foods immediately after the procedure, as they can increase swelling and irritation.

The lip filler procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation, numbing, and injection. The results are immediate, but final results are visible after one to two weeks once any swelling has fully settled.

Bruising can last between 3 to 7 days, depending on individual healing. Applying arnica cream, avoiding blood-thinning medications, and following aftercare instructions can help reduce bruising faster.

It is best to avoid ibuprofen and aspirin for 24-48 hours after lip fillers, as they can increase bruising and swelling. If you need pain relief, paracetamol is a safer option.

No, lip fillers are temporary and gradually break down over time. The results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on individual metabolism and lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance treatments are needed to maintain volume and definition.

Most people choose to have top-up treatments every 6 to 12 months to maintain their desired lip shape and volume. Some may need less frequent treatments if they metabolise filler more slowly.

It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying lipstick or makeup to the lips. This reduces the risk of infection and irritation, allowing the lips to heal properly.

Avoid kissing for at least 24-48 hours after lip filler to prevent pressure on the lips and reduce swelling. This allows the filler to settle properly and minimises discomfort.
