Lip Filler
Lip enhancement, or lip augmentation, is one of Face Value's most popular procedures. The Face Value doctors and nurses have a reputation for creating full, beautifully shaped lips, carefully tailored to suit individual face shapes, in order to maintain balance and a natural appearance.
Whether you want to add more volume, redefine borders, reduce lip lines or even create a perfect Cupid’s Bow, our team will tailor the treatment and the filler type to your requirements. Lips that are soft, well defined and full help create a beautiful youthful smile and a more confident appearance. Every face shape is unique so to achieve a natural result, balance and restraint is vital. We use the highest quality of non-permanent hyaluronic acid fillers which are administered only after a full consultation to determine your desired outcome while working with you to ensure a natural look. For a more mature client, we can redefine the lip area and correct signs of ageing.
Clinic founder and Clinical Director Dr. Frost is a senior cosmetic Doctor with over 25 years experience and he is also an accredited member of the NZ Society of Cosmetic Medicine so you can relax knowing you are in safe hands.
FAQ
How Long Does Lip Filler Last?
Lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolism, and how well you care for your lips. Regular maintenance appointments can help prolong your results and keep your lips looking their best.
Does Lip Filler Hurt?
Lip filler treatments are generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimise discomfort. Most people describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure, and the treatment is over quickly.
How Long for Lip Filler Swelling to Go Down?
Swelling after lip fillers is normal and typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours. In some cases, minor swelling may last up to a week. Applying a cold compress and avoiding strenuous activities can help reduce swelling faster.
What Not to Do After Lip Filler?
To ensure the best results, avoid the following after your lip filler treatment:
- Touching or massaging the treated area unless directed by your practitioner
- Strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours
- Alcohol consumption for 24 hours
- Extreme heat or cold, such as saunas or ice packs, for 24 hours
- Wearing heavy lip products for the first day
Following these guidelines will help minimise swelling and ensure proper healing.
How Long Does Lip Filler Take to Settle?
Lip fillers typically settle within 1 to 2 weeks, with final results visible once any swelling or bruising has fully subsided. During this time, your lips will soften and take on a natural shape.
