Q. Is Lip Augmentation procedure painful?
A. We understand the lips are a sensitive area. A range of anesthetics such as an ice pack and numbing cream can be provided depending upon your preference. In addition, we use products that contain an anaesthetic, making the treatment relatively comfortable. Our highly experienced medical professionals will ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Q.Will I see the results immediately?
A. After the injection, the lips often become a little swollen, so the result immediately after the treatment may not be the final one. The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a couple of days. To achieve the optimal result, a touch-up treatment 2 to 4 weeks after the initial session is recommended, which will also add to the duration of the treatment effect.
Q. How long will Lip Augmentation results last?
A. The results generally last from 6 to 12 months. The longevity of these filler products is variable, and individual results may vary. We can create a personalized plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result. Our treatment provides a long-lasting but not permanent result, leaving you the option of refining your treatment to suit your individual needs over time.
