Lip Fillers

The cost of lip filler varies with the type of filler and the number of 1 ml syringes needed to achieve the effect. Often lip fillers are done along with other facial fillers like cheek or chin augmentation.

Due to the mobile nature of our lips and the slow breakdown of the hyaluronic acid that happens naturally, the effects of lips fillers can generally only last for 4 – 6 months before needing a top-up.

The injections can be mildly painful, as all modern lip fillers are premixed with Local Anesthesia medication so the injection numbs the lips as it goes in. We also increase the comfort by using numbing cream and ice.

Dr. Prashant prefers Juvéderm Ultra 3, the same filler Kylie Jenner is rumoured to have. This gel-based filler gives very smooth and natural plumping.

All the lip fillers we use are hyaluronic acid based fillers, these have a proven track record, are not associated with allergies and can be reversed if needed adding to the safety profile.

The patient’s own fat can make an excellent filler substance, as long as the patient is happy to have more bruising, swelling and downtime compared to hyaluronic acid filler.

While lip implants are available to give a permanent augmentation, we don’t prefer them due to their risks and the downtime associated with them.
