What lip filler actually does
Lip filler is hyaluronic acid — a gel made from a substance your body already produces and already holds in your skin. It is placed into the lip in small amounts to do one of three quite different jobs, and knowing which one you actually want is most of the consultation.
Hydration and softening. A very small amount spread through the body of the lip improves texture and the fine vertical lines around the mouth, without meaningfully changing lip size. This is what most people mean when they say they want their lips to look like they did ten years ago.
Definition. Product placed along the vermillion border sharpens the outline and lifts a border that has flattened with age. Again, this changes shape rather than volume.
Volume. Product placed in the body of the lip makes the lip fuller. This is the one people worry about, and it is the one where restraint matters most: the aim is a lip that suits your mouth, your teeth and the rest of your face, not a lip that announces itself.
Most treatment plans use a combination, weighted toward whichever of the three your face actually needs. That judgement is the part that takes 26 years to learn, and it is why treatment here is planned and injected by the specialist rather than handed to a technician.
Your appointment, start to finish
A first lip appointment takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and only a few minutes of that is injecting.
| Stage | How long | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | 15–20 min | Your medical history, what you want changed, and an assessment of lip proportion against the rest of your face. If lip filler is not the right answer, you are told so here. |
| Numbing | 15–20 min | Topical numbing cream. Most hyaluronic acid lip fillers also contain lidocaine, so comfort improves further as treatment begins. |
| Treatment | 10–15 min | Product placed in small increments, with the lip assessed between each. You are shown a mirror before the appointment ends. |
| Immediately after | — | Some swelling straight away. You can go back to your day; most people avoid anything public-facing for the first evening. |
| Review | 2–4 weeks | Once swelling has fully settled, the result is reviewed and a small top-up added if the plan calls for it. |
Swelling, bruising and how long it lasts
Lips swell more than anywhere else on the face, and they swell immediately. For the first 24 to 48 hours your lips will look larger than the result you are going to keep — this is expected, and it is the single most common reason people worry after treatment.
Most of the swelling settles within three to five days. The final result is what you see at about two weeks, which is why any adjustment is made then and not before.
Bruising is possible because the lip is rich in blood vessels. It is usually small and easily covered, but plan the appointment at least two weeks before anything important.
How long it lasts: most people keep a lip result for six to twelve months. Lips metabolise filler faster than most areas of the face, so the first treatment often lasts a little less than the ones that follow.

What lip filler costs
Cost is confirmed at your consultation, because it depends on how much product your plan actually needs — and for a first lip treatment that is often less than people expect. We do not publish a headline price, because a per-syringe figure tells you very little before anyone has looked at your lips.
What you will be told at consultation is the total for the plan being recommended, before anything is agreed. New clients receive 10% off their first appointment.
