Enhance and Plump
Lift, plump and create lip enhancement and definition with non-surgical procedures to augment the size, shape, and contour of the lips, creating a fuller, more defined appearance. Lip enhancement and definition involve bolus injections with a small needle, we specialise in enhancing natural lip features, tailored to your requirements when you are seeking plump and well-defined lips. We avoid ‘over-filling’ at all costs and carefully select our fillers to avoid migration or complications. Our clinic has ‘a full fridge policy’ and ‘safety first’ policy when it comes to Hyalurondaise (Filler Dissolver) so that in the rare instance that a complication may arise you can rest assured that Maxine is trained and on hand to dissolve filler instantly should the need arise.
They’re a type of dermal filler that consist of synthetic Hyaluronic Acid — HA is a natural substance in your body. There are many different brands of lip fillers and following your consultation, the brand best suited to your needs will be selected. Choosing lip fillers is a personal decision and many women who have lip fillers want to increase the size of their lip or simply add definition:
Lip fillers restore or add volume to your lips. They don’t stop the aging process, but they might help delay the need for a more invasive surgical augmentation like lip implants which can sometimes be required if left too late. They can also help you achieve a desired look, which boosts self esteem.
Lip fillers typically last 12 to 18 months. However, it depends on your age and how fast your body breaks down calories into energy (metabolism) this directly effects how long the filler lasts. Younger Women tend to burn calories faster as opposed to more Mature Women.
Before your lip filler procedure, you’ll meet with Maxine privately to discuss your expectations. She will assess many factors, including the current physical condition of your lips and what is achievable, current level of hydration (or dehydration!), and any medical conditions or medications.
During a lip filler procedure, we will apply a topical anesthetic to your lips. The topical anesthetic will numb your lips so you won’t feel pain and the process is as comfortable as possible. We will then use a thin needle to inject lip filler into any or all parts of your lips, including the edges of your lips (vermillion border), the curve in the center of your upper lip (Cupid’s bow) and your oral commissures (corners of your mouth). You won’t feel any pain, but you may feel a pinching sensation, and your eyes may water. On average, for a natural look 1 milliliter is used in your lips, which is about one-fifth of a teaspoon. The needle won’t go deeper than 2.5 mm into your skin.
After the procedure is complete, gentle massage is applied to your lips so that they absorb the filler, ice packs may be used as well. Whilst Maxine does endeavour to minimise any trauma to your lips, they may be swollen, sensitive and sometimes bruised. Swelling usually goes away after 24 to 48 hours, but it may take up to a week. The following tips will help your lips as they heal:
