Lip fillers offer the most effective non-invasive method  for treating upper lip lines and it usually only requires a very small volume of the product injected into precise locations along the lines and lip border.

We use  temporary  hyaluron rich fillers to hydrate and add volume to this area, giving the upper lip area more support and reduce  wrinkling. Most importantly, they have a proven safety record. The results that can be achieved  are usually  stunning and natural looking. 

There are 2 ways filler can be injected into the upper lip lines-

• The filler  is injected into the fatty tissue in the upper lip to re-inflate the area and gives a more structure and integrity to the skin. Often  the vermillion border (red part of the lips) is  filled with this area to  reduce lipstick bleeds.
• The filler is injected  superficially directly into  the lines and wrinkles.

This works well for very fine lines that just need some hydration, but as soon as you start adding  volume  extreme care needs to be taken to avoid looking unnatural. 

Tiny amounts of  strategically placed  wrinkle relaxers (4 small injections of 0.5 units in each injection point) reduces muscle contraction of  mouth muscle, reducing the lines. They should be used with caution since too much can cause not only an unnatural appearance but also problems with drinking and speaking properly. 

For best results, we recommend a combination of dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxers.

This is a very safe procedure in the hands of our highly experienced cosmetic doctors. Common side-effects include redness, swelling and bruising. These usually resolve  quite quickly.  Dermal fillers can result in some lumpiness which settles easily . Too much filler can result  in lengthening of the upper lip which can look unnatural, its there really important to choose an experienced practitioner. These fillers can be broken down with an enzyme injection if required.
