Lip Filler Treatment
Mr Olivier Amar - Leading Plastic Surgeon in Chelsea, London
Lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid fillers: safe, non-surgical treatment for fuller lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in youthful, healthy skin, making it an ideal choice for natural looking lip enhancement.
What is hyaluronic acid Lip Filler treatment?
Lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid fillers, also known as lip augmentation or lip filler injections, is a safe, effective, non-surgical procedure to add volume, definition and symmetry to the lips. As we age, our lips naturally lose volume and definition, appearing thinner, flatter and less plump. Visible signs include reduced fullness, less defined borders and wrinkles around the mouth area.
Mr Olivier Amar implements a meticulous, gradual approach to ensure a refined, natural looking result. Using advanced hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, these specially formulated fillers are fluid, reversible and naturally absorbable. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in youthful, healthy skin, making it an ideal choice for natural looking lip enhancement.

Your consultation
Whether meeting in person or remotely, your consultation with Mr Olivier Amar provides a comprehensive discussion of your hoped for goals and treatment options. To get the most out of your consultation, we recommend reviewing information about your area of interest beforehand.

This will include a step-by-step treatment process, required preparation, recovery timeline and potential risks and complications.

Advanced Facial Rejuvenation
Mr Olivier Amar specialises in facial rejuvenation treatments. As every face is unique and we all age in different ways, he will conduct a comprehensive facial assessment, carefully developing a tailored approach to help patients achieve subtle, natural rejuvenation.
Risks associated with treatment
Every non-surgical treatment, while performed with the utmost care and expertise, carries inherent risks. Mr Olivier Amar ensures all patients are fully informed about potential complications before proceeding with any treatment.
General treatment side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, bruising and minor discomfort. During your consultation, Mr Olivier Amar will provide detailed information about procedure specific risks, explain preventive measures and safety protocols, answer all questions about potential complications and provide you with all the information needed to make an informed decision.
Preparing for Your Treatment
Aim to arrive to your appointment with your skin as best prepared for your lip filler treatment as it can be. Pre-treatment guidelines would ideally include:
- Avoid ibuprofen and aspirin 48 hours prior to treatment
- Avoid alcohol 2-3 days before treatment
- Get adequate rest the night before
- Eat a light meal and stay hydrated
- Clean skin thoroughly before treatment
Recovery Guide
Immediately after treatment you may experience bruising, mild redness, swelling, tenderness and itching at the site of the treated areas. Most patients find that any side effects subside within 2-3 days.
No downtime is required and you can resume normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours to prevent increasing blood flow to the face. As with all facial treatments, you should avoid direct sun exposure until any bruising subsides, continue using SPF 50+ protection and follow our recommended skincare routine.
Maintaining your results
Results can be seen immediately after treatment, however there may be some initial swelling. The longevity of lip filler treatment results varies based on several factors:
- The specific type and concentration of hyaluronic acid filler used
- Your body’s natural metabolism rate
- Your lifestyle factors (smoking, sun exposure, etc.)
- The injection technique used
Most patients find their hyaluronic acid lip fillers last between 6-12 months before maintenance treatments are recommended. The body safely and naturally reabsorbs the filler over time, allowing for adjustments to your look with subsequent treatments. It is also recommended that you commit to wearing sun protection daily and follow an at home skincare regimen.
