Lip filler in Doncaster

At Dermacy Clinic, lip filler is £190 for 0.5 ml or 1 ml, the same price either way. Lip augmentation with a premium filler is £220 for 1 ml, and Russian lips is £220. Your price is agreed at the consultation, before anything is injected. Medicred patient finance is available, subject to approval.

Usually 6 to 12 months. Lips are one of the most mobile parts of the face, so filler here breaks down faster than in the cheeks or chin. Metabolism, smoking, sun exposure and a lot of intense exercise can shorten it. As filler fades, your lips return gradually towards their natural shape rather than dropping suddenly.

Many first-timers start with 0.5 ml for a subtle change, and others choose 1 ml for a more noticeable one. Both are £190. One ml is about a fifth of a teaspoon, so even 1 ml spread across both lips usually looks soft rather than dramatic. We talk through how full you want to go before we start. Building up later is easy; taking filler away means dissolving.

Lips are sensitive, so expect some discomfort, but most people find it manageable. We apply topical numbing cream first, and many lip fillers contain a local anaesthetic that numbs the area further as we go. You may feel pressure, and a sting at the border, which is the most sensitive part. Lips can feel tender and tight for a day or two afterwards.

Swelling is usually worst in the first one to three days, when lips can look bigger, firmer and a little uneven. It is mostly settled within a week, and the final shape shows at about two weeks, when we see you for your review. A cold compress wrapped in a clean cloth, held on gently, can help. Avoid booking within two weeks of a wedding or big event.

Not for the first 24 hours. Pressure and suction from kissing, straws, smoking or vaping can move fresh filler and add to swelling. Avoid hot drinks on the first day, and keep make-up and lip products off for the rest of the day. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga and alcohol for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid facials, massage and firm pressure on the lips for two weeks.

Usually yes, but tell us at your consultation. Lip injections can trigger a cold sore in people who carry the virus, so we may advise you to speak to your GP or pharmacist about antiviral treatment before your appointment. We never treat lips with an active cold sore, or one that is just starting to tingle. We move your appointment until it has fully healed.

Migration is when filler moves away from where it was placed, most often above the border of the upper lip. It can leave a puffy ridge, sometimes called a filler moustache, or a blurred lip line. It is linked to too much filler, filler placed too often and top-ups before old filler has gone. We build lips gradually and check what is already there. If filler has migrated, we usually dissolve it and start again.

Classic lip filler adds volume and projection, so lips look fuller from the front and from the side. Russian lips is a technique that lifts the lips vertically and shapes the Cupid’s bow, giving a taller, heart-shaped look while the profile stays fairly flat. It suits lips with some natural height and shape. If you already have filler, we may need to dissolve it first so the new shape sits cleanly.

No. Hyaluronic acid filler is broken down by your body over time, which is why lip results usually last 6 to 12 months. We use hyaluronic acid fillers from Juvéderm, Stylage and Fillmed, and they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if something needs correcting. If you have ever had permanent lip filler, tell us, because it changes what we can safely do.

Lip filler is one of the most common aesthetic treatments, and for most healthy adults the side effects are short-lived. Swelling, tenderness and bruising are expected. Less common problems include lumps, infection and cold sores, and, rarely, filler blocking a blood vessel, which needs urgent treatment. We go through your medical history before treating and explain the warning signs to look out for before you leave.

Yes. Because we use hyaluronic acid filler, it can be broken down with hyaluronidase if lips look uneven, lumpy or overfilled. Dissolving existing filler costs £150 per ml, and an allergy patch test is required first. We also treat lip filler placed at other clinics after an assessment. We usually wait about two weeks before adding any new filler.

You must be 18 or over. Cosmetic filler for anyone under 18 is illegal in England under the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021. Above 18, the right time is when you have a clear reason, such as thin lips, uneven sides or volume lost with age, rather than a particular birthday.

For many people who want fuller or more defined lips without surgery, it is: you see a change straight away, downtime is short and hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if you change your mind. It is less worth it if you want a size your lips cannot carry without looking overfilled, or if the real issue is a set-back chin. We will tell you honestly at your consultation.

We use hyaluronic acid fillers from Juvéderm, Stylage and Fillmed, all of which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if ever needed. For lips we choose from lip-specific gels such as Juvéderm Volbella, Stylage Special Lips and Fillmed ART FILLER Lips. The exact product is chosen for your face at consultation.
