There is no single lip shape or filler technique that will suit everyone. The most natural results come from considering your existing lip anatomy alongside the proportions of the rest of your face.

Before carrying out lip filler in Sheffield, your clinician at Derma Plus Medical Sheffield will assess the shape, symmetry, projection and existing volume of your lips. We will also discuss what you like about your lips, what you would like to change and the type of result you are hoping to achieve.

Some patients want greater definition without significantly increasing volume, while others may want to restore fullness or create a more noticeable enhancement. Your treatment is then planned around your individual anatomy rather than attempting to recreate a particular lip shape on every patient.

Yes. Lip filler does not have to mean noticeably larger lips. Subtle lip enhancement is particularly popular amongst patients at Derma Plus Medical Sheffield who want to improve definition, restore a small amount of volume or refine their natural lip shape without dramatically changing their appearance.

The amount of filler used and where it is placed can be carefully controlled. During your consultation for lip filler in Sheffield, your clinician will discuss the level of enhancement you are comfortable with and explain what can realistically be achieved while maintaining balance with the rest of your facial features.

Hyaluronic acid lip filler is temporary and is gradually broken down by the body. How long your lip filler lasts can vary according to the product used, the amount administered, your metabolism, lifestyle and how your individual body responds to treatment.

As the filler naturally breaks down, your lips will gradually lose the additional volume rather than suddenly returning to their pre-treatment appearance. Patients who would like to maintain their results can return to Derma Plus Medical Sheffield for assessment when they begin to notice their lip filler reducing.

We recommend allowing your clinician to assess your lips before automatically booking additional filler, as repeatedly adding product before it is required may not produce the most balanced result.

Before attending Derma Plus Medical Sheffield for lip filler, we recommend avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours, as this can increase the likelihood of bruising. Certain medicines and supplements may also increase bruising; however, you should never stop prescribed medication without first speaking to the healthcare professional responsible for your care.

Please let your clinician know about any medical conditions, allergies, previous filler treatments or medications during your consultation. If you have an active cold sore, infection, illness or inflammation around the treatment area, contact our Sheffield clinic before attending as your appointment may need to be rearranged.

If you have a history of cold sores, it is particularly important to tell your clinician, as injections around the lips can sometimes trigger an outbreak.

Swelling, tenderness, redness and occasional bruising are common following lip filler and are usually most noticeable during the first few days. Your lips may initially look fuller or slightly uneven because of swelling, so the appearance immediately after treatment should not be considered your final result.

Following lip filler at Derma Plus Medical Sheffield, avoid unnecessarily touching or applying pressure to your lips and follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your clinician. We generally recommend temporarily avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive heat, including saunas and steam rooms, while the initial swelling settles.

Allow time for the filler to integrate and your lips to settle before assessing the final outcome. If you experience symptoms that concern you following your lip filler treatment in Sheffield, contact Derma Plus Medical Sheffield promptly so our medical team can advise you.
