The Truth About Lip Fillers

With most people trawling instagram for the best Lip doctor we thought it was important to tell you the truth about lip fillers. Lip fillers when done in the hands of a skilled Dr can be fantastic and really increase a patients confidence. However lip fillers done in the hands of an inexperienced practitioner can not just be catastrophic- they can be lethal.

Over the years we have had patients come to Dr Raph who have been treated and a vein has been blocked or something has gone wrong. When this happens you are working against the time to treat the issue otherwise risk permanent facial disfigurement.

Most of the pictures you see on instagram of after lip fillers show and ultra plumped pout which is red and often very shiny. This can sometimes leave people considering lip fillers thinking that they will get a more rosey pout by getting lip fillers - which simply isnt the case. This is swelling immediately after treatment and the glow is the balm used to prevent infection.

Dr Raph always states that the true result of lip fillers is 3 weeks after treatment. By this stage any swelling has gone down and your lips have had chance to settle.
