What to Expect
-
1. Consultation & Assessment
Your visit begins with a comprehensive consultation with a qualified professional. This includes a discussion of your treatment goals and preferences, along with a review of your medical history to assess suitability and ensure all medical requirements are met.
-
2. Photography for Your Records
A series of standardised before photos will be taken and securely stored in your file. These are used for progress tracking and clinical documentation.
-
3. Preparation for Treatment
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed using a medical-grade antiseptic solution. A topical anaesthetic cream is then applied and left on the lips for approximately 15 minutes to minimise discomfort. Once the area is numb, the lips are cleaned again in preparation for the injections.
-
4. Personalised Injection Technique
The injectable treatment is then carefully administered using techniques selected to suit your lip structure and desired outcome. This may involve enhancing volume, refining the shape, or improving definition—based on the discussion during your consultation.
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes, including preparation time.
FAQs
What are lip fillers made of?
Most lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance found in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume in the skin. The HA used in fillers is a soft, gel-like substance designed to integrate safely into the tissue.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice changes in your lips immediately after the treatment, as the filler adds volume and shape. However, some swelling or minor bruising is common in the first few days, which can affect the appearance temporarily. Final results are typically visible within 1 to 2 weeks, once any swelling has settled and the product has integrated into the tissue.
How long do the results last?
Lip filler results typically last between 6 to 12 months, though this can vary depending on the individual’s metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific product used. Over time, the filler gradually breaks down and is safely absorbed by the body.
Are there any side effects?
As with any injectable treatment, temporary side effects may occur. These can include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or a feeling of firmness at the injection site. Most effects resolve within a few days. Rare but serious complications will be discussed during your consultation.
Who performs the treatment?
All lip filler treatments at MD Cosmetics are performed by qualified and trained professionals, such as registered nurses or doctors, who are experienced in administering cosmetic injectables under medical supervision.
Will it look natural?
Our approach focuses on enhancing your natural features, not changing them. Treatments are tailored to your facial structure and preferences. Your practitioner will work with you to achieve a result that’s subtle and proportionate.
Is the procedure painful?
Discomfort is usually minimal. Most lip fillers contain a local anaesthetic (lidocaine), and a numbing cream may be applied before treatment. Some pressure or pinching may be felt, but the procedure is generally well tolerated.
Can I go back to work after the treatment?
Yes. Many people return to work or normal activities after their appointment. Minor swelling or bruising may occur, so some choose to schedule their treatment before a weekend or event-free period.
What if I don’t like the result?
Results will gradually settle over a few days. If needed, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using a prescription-only enzyme. Your practitioner will discuss this option with you during your consultation.
