Lip Filler Treatment Bishops Waltham

As we age our lips deflate and lose volume which leaves them looking smaller but also more wrinkled. At the same time the vermillion border (the border around the lip) also loses integrity and therefore when you purse your lips, you lose some of the structure leading to fine line above your top lip. For bright lipstick wearers this can be a pain as the lipstick then bleeds into the lines (unfairly called smokers lines) and looks unsightly. At our clinic, located in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, and Alresford, we offer effective treatments to restore volume to the lips and redefine the vermillion border. Using dermal fillers, we can enhance the lips, smooth out wrinkles, and provide better definition, ensuring your lipstick stays put and you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. If you’re concerned about the loss of volume in your lips or the fine lines above your upper lip, book a consultation today at our clinic in Bishops Waltham, Otterbourne, Stockbridge, or Alresford. We’ll help you restore the natural beauty of your lips!

Lip filler doesn’t have to about huge volume and duck lips or trout pouts. In fact I cringe when I see lips that look like that and it makes my job so much harder! I love doing lip filler on the kind of lips I have described above as I use a wonderful filler that is more on the hydration side than the volumising side. I know from talking to my patients that their biggest fear is looking ‘done’ and so they only want a subtle amount of volume increase but more than anything my patients notice the improvement in texture of the lips and the increased hydration. To address the smokers lines I use a different filler to recreate the border of the lip and also treat those lines directly. This has such a wonderful effect at rejuvenating the whole mouth area, which can be quite ageing.

As we age we lose the support of the tissues around the mouth and the corners of the mouth can drop. This leads to a sad appearance and women in particular can be accused of looking miserable even when they don’t feel it! By helping support the corners of the mouth with filler, the whole resting expression of the face can change.

Aftercare

After treatment, I advise my patients not to do anything that will make them hot or flushed (red in the face) otherwise there is a risk of the Botox spreading to a muscle we are not intending to treat. Examples of this would be exercise, saunas, sunbeds (don’t use sunbeds ever anyway!), lots of alcohol or facials. After 24 hours you can do any of the above as the Botox won’t move after this.

FAQs

What Are They?

Botulinum toxin is injected carefully into the muscle, which temporarily blocks the signal from the nerve, leaving the muscle in a relaxed state. There are many different brands of botulinum toxin but I use Botox, made by Allergan.

What Are The Benefits?

The main benefit of Botox injections is a reduction in wrinkles, and softening of established lines, but Botox only works on areas of movement. However, Botox can also be used in the masseter muscles to relieve jaw clenching or teeth grinding which alleviates tension and headaches, and minimises dental damage. Interestingly, Botox can also be used to stop sweating so can be injected under the armpits or into palms or soles of feet, with excellent effect.

Are They Painful?

Botox injections sting a tiny bit but I would rate it at 1-2/10 on the pain scale. In my opinion, pain should absolutely not be a barrier to botox treatment for anyone. If necessary, numbing cream can be applied beforehand.

How Long Is Each Session?

My botox appointments are 20 minutes, but once your dose is established it might not even take that long.
