Lip filler: everything you need to know
Lip filler and lip blush are among the most common questions in our aesthetic department. Here are the answers in brief.
๐ฌ One of our patients' most common questions
The result and how long it lasts
The result is immediate and looks even better once the swelling settles within days; it usually lasts 6โ12 months.
Does it hurt?
We use a numbing cream and most fillers contain an anaesthetic, so discomfort is mild and tolerable.
After the injection
- Swelling and mild bruising are possible for two days to a week.
- Avoid high heat and pressure on the lips for two days.
- Severe pain or any change in skin colour โ seek care immediately.
Filler or lip blush?
Filler is for volume and shape; lip blush is for colour and freshness. We can do both, depending on what you want.

Frequently asked questions
What if I don't like the result?
Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with a special enzyme.
How much filler do I need for my lips?
Usually half to one millilitre depending on the desired shape; we prefer a gentle start for a natural result.
