Lip enhancement is one of the most popular cosmetic tweakments offered by aesthetic clinics in the UK. If you are thinking about enhancing the natural beauty of your lips, here are 10 things I think you should know before booking your first appointment.
1. It's Crucial to Find an Experienced, Trusted Aesthetic Professional
In order to obtain the natural, beautiful looking outcomes you are no doubt hoping for, it is imperative to visit a fully qualified aesthetic practitioner who makes you feel comfortable as soon as you step into the clinic. Your practitioner should seek to understand your hopes and expectations and provide expert advice in order to ensure that you leave their clinic feeling confident and empowered.
2. Not All Filler is the Same
There are a number of different types of lip filler, however, hyaluronic acid based fillers are by far the most popular because they are versatile, safe, and can be easily dissolved if required.
3. It's Never a Good Idea to Copy Celebrities
Everyone's face is unique, and the only way to obtain the right look for you is to consult with an experienced professional who understands how to enhance your features to achieve your ideal treatment outcomes.
4. Less is More, Especially For Your First Appointment
The amount of filler you have will entirely depend upon the look you are hoping to achieve, but it's always a good idea to start slowly. Between 0.5 ml and 1ml of filler will provide a naturally plump look to the lips, but if you ultimately decide that you would like a fuller looking pout, then it's always possible to add more.
5. Yes, Lip Filler Really Can Look Natural
If you have been put off by unnatural looking pouts in the past but are still curious about lip filler treatments, please be assured that it is perfectly possible to achieve natural results. In fact, it's even possible to add a small amount of volume to the lips without it looking as though you have had a lip filler treatment.
6. Supplements Can Cause Additional Bleeding or Bruising
Fish oil and vitamin E are just two examples of supplements that may affect the healing process or cause additional bruising, swelling or bleeding. So, it is important to be open with your practitioner, who may advise you to skip certain supplements for a few days pre and post-treatment.
7. Some Discomfort is Normal
Everyone's pain tolerance levels are different, which is why most aesthetic practitioners apply a numbing cream to the area in order to minimise pain as much as possible. While some patients won't feel very much during their treatment, others typically describe the sensation of getting lip fillers as feeling like a slight pinch, mild scratch or some pressure.
8. Bruising is Also Normal
Although discontinuing the use of certain vitamins and supplements can help to keep bruising and swelling to a minimum, it is entirely normal to experience both of these side effects immediately after treatment. Side effects are generally very mild, with any swelling and bruising dissipating within about a week.
9.. Schedule a Follow-Up Appointment
Scheduling a follow-up appointment allows your practitioner to monitor the outcomes of your treatment, answer any questions you have, and work with you to tweak your look as required.
10. Aftercare is Essential to Optimal Outcomes
There are a number of steps that your practitioner may recommend after your treatment, including applying an ice pack to reduce swelling. I also often recommend avoiding wearing makeup for a few days post-treatment, to avoid touching the treatment area, and to opt out of strenuous exercise or activities for 48 hours.
