Lip Fillers Cardiff

Full plump volup­tuous lips with a well-defined lip line have been the hall­marks of beauty thought ages and cultures. The popularity and indis­pens­ab­ility of lipsticks and lip liners attests to the central role of the lips in softening a female face.

Since the advent of revers­ible Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers about 20 years back, women now have a very powerful tool to prevent and reverse lip aging.

While most woman are wanting to consider lip fillers, as they see their lip volume dimin­ishing and vertical lines appearing on top of their lips, they are scared at the thought of ducky arti­fi­cial looking lips.

Dr Prashant special­ises in Natural Lip Volumisation and guar­an­tees that you will have lips that look natur­ally good and not artificial.

Dr Prashant also special­ises in all the different lip filler tech­niques including the Russian Lip filler tech­nique and uses his extensive know­ledge to tailor the results to your face.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to get 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. Most younger patients below the age of 35 years will need about 0.8cc of filler, while older more mature lips will need more than 1cc espe­cially if the corners are also being treated.

How long do Lip Fillers last?

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. You will find that the lip fillers last longer with each subsequent treat­ment often not needing topup for 1 – 1.5 years.

Are lip fillers painful?

The injec­tions can be mildly painful, this is why 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 vibrating devices.

Which is the best lip filler?

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. He will also use other fillers like RHA3, Belotero Balance, Restylane if the patient’s anatomy requires it.

What are the types of lip fillers?

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.

Natural lip fillers?

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. Besides the signi­ficant swelling and down­time, the other problem is lack of revers­ib­ility of the treatment.

What are permanent lip fillers?

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.
