Frequently asked questions

 

How does it work?
Dermal filler is injected into the lips to define the lip borders and/or create a fuller, plumped-out effect. We can inject as much or as little filler as the patient requires to give a subtle or more dramatic result - the maximum that can safely be injected in the lips in one session is 1ml.

​

What is injected into the lips?
Lip filler is a naturally occurring hyaluronic acid gel. Ayumah Asigri Aesthetics Ltd. use Restylane® which is one of the "Gold Standard" fillers available.

​

What does the lip enhancement procedure involve?
Nurse Presriber will inject small quantities of filler into the border of the lips or body of the lip depending on the desired effect. The process can be uncomfortable and topical local anaesthetic will be applied to reduce any pain experienced. It should take approximately 30 minutes and the effects are instant.

​

What is the result?
Lip borders can be defined and the shape and size of the lips can be enhanced either subtly or dramatically depending on the result the client desires. This treatment is also ideal for removing lines and creases around the mouth area (including ‘smoker’s lines’).

​

How long do the results last?
Results last approximately 6-9 months.

​

Are there any risks or side effects?
The most common side effects are minor swelling and redness but these are temporary and should subside shortly after the procedure.

​

Is the person giving the injections qualified?
Our Independent Nurse Prescriber, has given thousands of injections throughout her medical career and is fully qualified in the use of dermal fillers.

​

Will I receive a consultation?
Yes. Lip Enhancement treatment will only take place after a full consultation with our Independent Nurse Prescriber, Ayumah Asigri during which we’ll discuss the results you’re looking for and any cautions and contraindications. 

​

When should I not have lip enhancement fillers?
Lip fillers are not suitable for anyone with severe allergies, or allergy to Lidocaine. You should not consider dermal fillers of any kind if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

 

Can I have the filler dissolved?

Yes. Ayumah however does not dissolve other practitioner's work - please return to the practitioner who performed your original procedure for them to carry out the dissolving procedure.

A patch test will be performed at this treatment to ensure you do not have a reaction to Hyalase/Hyaluronidaise.

Any other potential issues will be covered in your consultation.
