Lip Fillers Liverpool

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers are biodegradable so they break down over time. This is not a bad thing because the best results and most beautiful lips are the patients who return time and time again for their lip jobs.  This allows your practitioner to work with the shape and volume and gradually increase the size and shape of the lips.

Smoking will significantly reduce the time the lip filler is present in the tissue. This is because the act of making a pout to smoke a cigarette or e-cig means that the body breaks down the filler faster.

Getting your lips done at Smileworks is a straight-forward process. That said, many patients are a little apprehensive and our helpful and caring staff will guide you through each stage of the procedure so that you are comfortable and happy.     First you come in and fill out your medical history and information on an iPad in our beautiful state-of-the-art office. This takes about ten minutes and then you’ll go through into a treatment room for your consultation.

Following a short consultation, MJ will make sure you are happy with what to expect from your lip procedure. She will then administer a painless nerve block that will totally numb your lips. It takes a few seconds to work so MJ will usually sing you a song, tell you about her five cats or do a little dance. Lip augmentations can be painful and numbing cream is not enough to take the pain away.   Then you’ll have your procedure and be done in another 15 or so minutes. You then get told your aftercare instructions and you’re done. Your lips might be swollen right after the procedure but you’ll be advised on what to do with your aftercare instructions. Patients usually tolerate the procedure very well and our team will be in touch the next day to make sure you’re all ok and there is an emergency out of hours number on your instructions. You will be invited back for a two week review appointment to make sure everything has settled.  

If you think you’ve had a complication from a practitioner here in Liverpool then don’t hesitate to get in touch. Dr Rowland-Warmann is a trained medical professional with a great deal of experience dissolving filler with hylase and helping patients who’ve essentially been botched.  The main risks of lip fillers are bruising and swelling. The lips are a very sensitive area and some patients experience swelling and bruising that takes a good few days to resolve. Like with many aesthetic procedures, you can reduce risks by taking care of your filler at home. We advise you to cool the area with peas or an ice pack once you get home for a good few hours. If you do this the swelling will be significantly reduced.

You may also notice unevenness and bumps in your lips after treatment. This is swelling, bruises and small blood blisters under the skin that you can’t see. You will be advised to be prepared for this and told under no circumstances to mess around with your lips or squeeze them. When you have your review Dr MJ will manipulate the result to perfection if it is not already perfect.

Perhaps the biggest risk of lip injections is going to a practitioner who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Unfortunately anyone can inject lips and we see many cases of dreadful results from individuals who have decided to start injecting lips with little or no training. Here at Smileworks we often have cases where people come to us wanting problems ‘fixed’. Unfortunately there is sometimes not a great deal we can do so urge you to think carefully about who is injecting you and where they went to university.

Here at Smileworks we only use gold standard, CE marked dermal fillers. Although lip filler injections are, sadly, unregulated here in the UK, Smileworks pride ourselves on the highest standards of safety.  Our products of choice are Allergan products like Juvederm because Allergan put a great deal of research and development into their products to make sure they are longer lasting, safer and carry fewer risks to our beautiful patients.
