Lip Fillers
What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers use a soft filler placed in small amounts to support the shape, border or volume of the lips.
Treatment can be subtle, for example improving symmetry or contour, and is always planned around the proportions of your lips and face.
Concerns it may address
- Thin lips or loss of volume
- Uneven or asymmetric lips
- A less defined lip border
- Fine lines around the mouth
Who it may suit
Lip fillers may suit adults who would like a subtle improvement in lip shape or balance, and who value proportion over size.
- A wish for definition, symmetry or gentle volume
- No active cold sores or infection at the time of treatment
- Openness to building results gradually
When it may not be suitable
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- An active cold sore or infection around the mouth
- Recent dental treatment, until advised
- A wish for a size out of proportion with your face; a clinician may advise against proceeding
Alternatives that may be discussed
Lip filler is one of several dermal filler treatments. If fine lines around the mouth are the main concern, skin boosters may be discussed; if the profile is the focus, chin fillers can change how the lips sit in balance with the face.
Consultation and assessment
Your consultation looks at your lips in proportion with your nose, chin and smile, and at exactly what you would like to change.
Preparing for your consultation
- Which matters most: shape, border, symmetry or volume
- Any history of cold sores
- Previous lip treatments, with dates if known
- Upcoming events, as swelling needs time to settle
Facial assessment
Your features, expression and skin are assessed at rest and in movement.
Medical history
Health, medicines, allergies and any previous treatments are reviewed.
Plan and consent
If treatment is appropriate, the plan, aftercare and possible side effects are explained before you consent.
Your lip filler appointment
Your lips are assessed together with the rest of the face. Technique and treatment planning vary according to the treatment area, clinical assessment and product selected.
The result is judged once any swelling has settled.
Why plans differ
Lip shape, the balance between upper and lower lip and the surrounding features differ between people, so the amount and placement of filler are planned individually and often built gradually.
Recovery and downtime
The lips often swell after treatment, and bruising or tenderness can occur. Temporary responses vary between individuals. Your clinician will explain aftercare, including avoiding pressure and heat for a short time.
Aftercare principles
- Avoid pressing or massaging the lips unless advised
- Avoid heat and strenuous exercise for the time advised
- Judge the shape only once swelling has settled
- Seek advice promptly if you notice increasing pain or a change in skin colour
Safety and suitability
Tell your clinician if you have a history of cold sores, as precautions may be needed. Rare complications, including those affecting blood supply, will be explained before treatment.
Injectable treatments are medical procedures and are not suitable for everyone, including during pregnancy or breastfeeding and with certain medical conditions. Temporary redness, swelling or bruising can occur, and less common side effects will be explained at consultation. Results vary from person to person.

How long do lip fillers last?

Can lip fillers be reversed?
This depends on the product used. Your clinician will explain the product proposed for you, and whether its effect can be reversed, before treatment.
Can I have lip fillers before an event?
Swelling and bruising can occur and vary between individuals, so it is wise to allow time between treatment and any important event. Your clinician will advise on timing.
