One of the signs of facial ageing is thinning lips. Sun exposure, lifestyle and diet can all affect the condition of the lips. Genetics can also play a part in the shape of our lips and if you are someone who is not happy with the way your lips look but do not wish to undergo invasive surgery, a dermal filler lip enhancement treatment could be the perfect option for you. Dr Roman has performed countless dermal filler treatments and is medically-qualified and highly-trained in lip augmentation, so you can rest assured you will be receiving a safe and effective treatment.
Dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found in the body, responsible for cushioning and hydrating the tissues. As we age, hyaluronic acid depletes, leading to thinner, less plump lips. Dermal fillers can not only enhance the size and shape of the lips, but can also correct asymmetry in this area. The treatment takes around 15 to 30 minutes to administer and the results are immediate. You may experience some swelling and slight bruising following the treatment, but this is very normal and should subside in a couple of days.
