Frequently asked questions
How long does lip filler last?
Most people find lip filler lasts 6 to 12 months. Lips are a mobile, well-supplied area, so filler breaks down faster there than in less active parts of the face. Metabolism, how much was placed and the technique used all affect it. Many people top up around the 9 month mark.
How long does swelling last after lip filler?
Swelling after lip filler peaks in the first 24 to 48 hours and is often more dramatic than people expect. It subsides through days 3 to 7, and the filler has fully settled by around day 14. That is why the review appointment is set at two weeks rather than earlier: before then you are not looking at your actual result.
Can lip filler be dissolved?
Yes. The filler used is hyaluronic acid, a substance the body already produces, and it can be broken down using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If you are unhappy with the result or simply want to return to your natural lips, it can be reversed. Marina also corrects and dissolves work carried out at other clinics.
Does lip filler hurt?
Topical numbing cream is applied before treatment and the filler itself contains lidocaine, a local anaesthetic. Most people describe pressure rather than sharp pain. The lips are sensitive, so some discomfort is normal, but the appointment is paced around you.
How much does lip filler cost in Maidstone?
At Juvenology Clinic, Subtle Lip Filler at 0.5ml is £200, Signature Lip Filler at 1ml is £250, and Russian Lip Filler is £300. Every price includes the two-week review. 0% finance is available through PLIM, subject to status.
Will my lips look fake or overdone after filler?
That is a question of volume and placement, not of filler itself. Treatment is planned against your own facial proportions rather than to a template, starting conservatively where appropriate. You agree the intended look before anything is injected, and because the filler is reversible, nothing about the decision is permanent.
How much lip filler do I need for my first treatment?
Most first-time patients suit 0.5ml or 1ml lip filler. 0.5ml gives light enhancement of shape and hydration, while 1ml gives balanced volume and definition. Marina will advise at your lip filler assessment, and starting smaller and adding later is always an option.
What should I avoid after lip filler treatment?
For the first 24 to 48 hours after lip filler, avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds, alcohol and very hot drinks, and try not to press or massage the lips. Sleep with your head slightly elevated. Avoid make-up on the lips for 24 hours. Tell Marina in advance if you are prone to cold sores, as treatment can trigger one.
