    Frequently Asked Questions About Our Lip Augmentation in London, UK

    Considering Lip Augmentation? We understand you may have questions. Our team of dental specialists, including a Periodontist, Endodontist and Orthodontist along with our team of Dental Therapists and Nurses are here to guide you through the process.
    What is involved in a lip augmentation procedure and how long does it last?

    Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances lip volume and shape through injectable dermal fillers or surgical techniques. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, with results from dermal fillers lasting 12-18 months, while surgical options like fat transfer or implants can provide longer-lasting results of several years.



    The treatment begins with a thorough consultation to discuss desired outcomes and suitable options. For filler treatments, a topical anaesthetic is applied for comfort, followed by precise injections using ultra-fine needles to carefully shape and enhance the lips according to the agreed aesthetic goals.




    • Treatment Options:

      • Dermal fillers (hyaluronic acid-based)

      • Fat transfer from other body areas

      • Lip implants

      • Surgical lip lift procedures




    • Duration of Results:

      • Dermal fillers: 12-18 months

      • Fat transfer: 2-5 years

      • Implants: Semi-permanent




    • Recovery Timeline:

      • Initial swelling: 24-48 hours

      • Return to normal activities: Immediate to 2 days

      • Final results visible: 2 weeks





    For optimal results and longevity, we recommend following post-treatment care instructions carefully and scheduling regular follow-up appointments. Our specialists are available for support throughout your recovery journey.

    What are the different types of lip augmentation procedures available and which is best for my needs?

    Lip augmentation procedures come in several forms, with dermal fillers and surgical options being the two main categories. Dermal fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid-based ones, offer temporary enhancement lasting 12-18 months and are ideal for those seeking subtle volume increases or first-time treatments. Surgical lip augmentation, including fat transfer and lip implants, provides more permanent results and may be better suited for those wanting dramatic, long-lasting changes.



    The best procedure for your needs depends on several factors, including your desired outcome, recovery time preferences, and natural lip anatomy. Temporary fillers allow you to experiment with different looks before committing to permanent changes, while surgical options eliminate the need for regular maintenance treatments.




    • Temporary Options:

      • Hyaluronic acid fillers - Natural-looking results, reversible if needed

      • Collagen-stimulating fillers - Gradual enhancement over time




    • Permanent Solutions:

      • Fat transfer - Uses your own tissue for natural-looking results

      • Lip implants - Silicone-based for consistent volume

      • Lip lift surgery - Shortens the space between nose and upper lip


























    Procedure TypeRecovery TimeResults Duration
    Dermal Fillers1-3 days12-18 months
    Fat Transfer1-2 weeksPermanent
    Lip Implants1-2 weeksPermanent
    What are the potential risks and recovery expectations after lip augmentation treatment?

    Lip augmentation recovery typically involves mild swelling and bruising that lasts 1-2 weeks, with potential risks including temporary numbness, asymmetry, and infection. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours, though complete healing takes about 2 weeks as the initial swelling subsides and the final results become visible.



    The most common side effects in the first few days include tenderness at injection sites, redness, and minor bruising which can be managed with ice packs and gentle aftercare. While serious complications are rare, patients should be aware of potential risks like allergic reactions, lumps, or migration of filler material.




    • Immediate Recovery Period (1-3 days):

      • Apply ice packs for 10 minutes every hour

      • Sleep with head elevated

      • Avoid strenuous exercise

      • Stay hydrated




    • Common Side Effects:

      • Swelling and bruising

      • Temporary numbness

      • Minor discomfort

      • Slight asymmetry until swelling subsides




    • When to Contact Your Provider:

      • Severe pain or swelling

      • Signs of infection

      • Unusual asymmetry

      • Persistent lumps or nodules





    For optimal results and minimal complications, follow all post-treatment instructions carefully and attend any recommended follow-up appointments. Our specialists are available to address any concerns during your recovery period.

    How can I maintain my lip augmentation results and ensure long-lasting effects?

    Lip augmentation is a cosmetic dental procedure that enhances the shape and volume of your lips through various techniques, most commonly using dermal fillers. The treatment can create fuller, more defined lips while maintaining a natural appearance and balanced facial harmony. At London Dental Specialists, we focus on achieving the ideal lip ratio of 1:1.6 between upper and lower lips for optimal aesthetic results.



    The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes and can address various concerns including thin lips, asymmetry, and age-related volume loss. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment, though some temporary swelling and tenderness is normal.




    • Treatment options include:

      • Hyaluronic acid fillers (lasting 12-18 months)

      • Fat transfer (semi-permanent results)

      • Surgical lip enhancement






    • Post-treatment care:

      • Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
