Lip Fillers - Are they for me?

One thing is certain, lip fillers are not for everyone. When considering having an aesthetic procedure such as lip fillers it is important that you take your time, research your injector and the procedure and do not rush into it on a whim. One thing to consider is often the results that a patient wishes to achieve are not achievable in one session. We will always be honest with you and manage your expectations so that you can make informed decisions. Here is some more information to help you make a well informed decision:

• Aesthetics procedures are never a one off treatment. We will always work with you to come up with a treatment plan so that your desired results can be achieved and maintained over a period of time.

• We do not use numbing creams. But don’t panic. We use dental block (infiltrate). This means that the treatment is much more comfortable for you and you are not in pain.

• In general Dr Raph prefers to use a cannulae (a blunt tube) for lip volume and needles for definition. Cannulas reduce the risk of bruising.

And the most important thing to consider… The immediate before and after pictures. This is not your final result. You final result is around 3 weeks post procedure and by this stage we usually have patients begging us for a little more!
