Improve the signs of ageing with lip fillers treatment. Natural looking results.
Lip fillers are injectable cosmetic treatments used to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. They typically consist of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials.
With over 15 years of experience, Dr Ng approaches the topic of lip fillers with a commitment to patient safety, satisfaction, and ethical practice. Lip augmentation through dermal fillers is a procedure that requires a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, aesthetic principles, and the unique needs of each individual. Drawing upon the latest lip filler techniques coupled with his wealth of experience, Dr. Ng will help craft a personalised treatment plan for you to achieve natural looking lips.
Humans are unique in that our lips are of different colour to the surrounding skin. This evolutionary trait plays a key role in both verbal and non-verbal communication, facial expression and sensuality. Characteristics on an attractive lip includes:
Ageing is a complex process that involves both intrinsic and extrinsic (e.g. smoking) factors. The multidimensional effects of aging involves the loss of collagen in the skin, changes to facial muscles, ligaments, the re-positing of fat and underlying skeletal bone loss.
The changes around the mouth and lips may not occur simultaneously but progressively over time and space. Age-related changes to the lips include:
Studies have shown that a balanced lower face with round, fuller and well-defined lips is one of the most important landmarks for beauty perception. Lip fillers treatment can enhance the following areas of the lips:
Consultation: Before the procedure, you'll have a consultation with a qualified doctor. During this consultation, you'll discuss your goals for the treatment and the desired outcome. The doctor will assess your lips, discuss the various filler options available, and help you choose the most suitable filler based on your anatomy and preferences.
Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the doctor will clean the area around your lips to reduce the risk of infection. They may also apply a topical numbing cream or administer a local anesthetic injection to minimise discomfort during the procedure.
Injection: Once the numbing has taken effect, the doctor will carefully inject the filler into specific areas of your lips using a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. The injection technique and the amount of filler used will depend on the desired outcome discussed during the consultation. The doctor may inject the filler into the body of the lips to add volume, as well as along the vermilion border (the border between the lips and the surrounding skin) to enhance definition.
Assessment and Adjustment: After injecting the filler, the doctor will assess the results and make any necessary adjustments to ensure symmetry and achieve the desired shape and volume. You may be given a mirror to provide feedback on the results during this process.
Post-Procedure Care: Once the procedure is complete, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness around the lips, which is normal and typically resolves within a few days. You'll be given instructions on how to care for your lips post-procedure, such as avoiding strenuous activity, applying ice packs to reduce swelling, and avoiding certain medications that may increase the risk of bruising.
Follow-Up: Depending on the filler used and your individual response to the treatment, you may need to schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the results and determine if any additional filler is needed to achieve your desired outcome.
There is no "best" lip filler, but rather one that would best suit you based on your desired outcome, lip anatomy, and personal preferences. A consultation with your doctor will help determine what lip filler option would be most ideal and help you achieve your desired lip appearance.
The duration of lip fillers can vary depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year or more.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the lip filler procedure. The doctor may apply a topical numbing cream or administer a local anesthetic injection to minimize any discomfort.
Common side effects of lip fillers may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. Rarely, more serious complications such as infection, allergic reactions or vascular occlusions can occur.
The amount of filler needed varies depending on the individual’s anatomy, desired outcome, and the expertise of the injector. During the consultation, the doctor will assess your lips and recommend an appropriate amount of filler to achieve your goals.
While lip fillers are generally safe and well-tolerated by many individuals, there are certain situations in which people may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
