Lip Enhancement

Natural results come from an experienced practitioner who understands facial proportions. Dr. Phillips assesses your face as a whole, considers your natural lip shape, and adds volume gradually in proportion to your features. Starting conservatively and building over sessions prevents the overdone look. We focus on enhancing your natural lips, not creating an obviously augmented appearance.

Lip fillers typically last 6-12 months, though this varies between individuals. The lips are highly mobile with good blood flow, which can metabolise filler faster than less active areas. Some patients find their results last longer with repeated treatments. We recommend returning before filler fully dissolves to maintain consistent shape rather than starting from scratch each time.

We take every step to ensure comfort. Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and our premium fillers contain built-in anaesthetic. Most patients describe the sensation as pressure with mild discomfort—far more tolerable than expected. Any sensitivity during injection subsides immediately. Lips may feel slightly tender for a day or two afterwards.

This depends on your starting point and goals. First-time patients typically start with 0.5-1ml for subtle enhancement. This allows you to assess results before adding more. Dr. Phillips will recommend an appropriate amount during consultation, always erring on the side of natural-looking results. You can always add more later, but starting conservatively ensures satisfaction.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, returning lips to their pre-treatment state. This provides complete peace of mind and is one reason we use only HA-based products. However, with Dr. Phillips' careful, conservative approach, this is rarely needed. Most patients are delighted with their natural-looking enhancement.
