How can I increase the volume in my lips?

November 13th, 2012
Q.
Hello I’m interested in increasing the volume of my lips, they are very thin, not what a women wants at all! I’ve done some research and I’ve heard mixed reviews about Juvederm? I didn’t know if researching it on the internet was a reliable source? I was hoping to get your opinion on which product is best to use for lip enhancement? What is the price of a syringe at your clinic? Thanks a lot for your time its appreciated! Regards.
A.
The problem is that when things don’t go as expected people are very motivated to share their experiences on the internet. However, when things go well they tend not to bother posting on the web which gives a bit of a skewed view of things.
For reasons of personal preference I use Restylane but Juvederm is an excellent HA filler and suitable for use in the lips. Personally I would always go for either Juvederm or Restylane.

In our clinic a 1.0ml syringe of Restylane is £325.
When comparing prices remember that when clinics quote prices per ‘syringe’ you need to be aware of the fact that a syringe can be either 0.5 or 1.0ml therefore you need to look at volume as well.
Also, don’t forget that when choosing a treatment it is not just about shopping around for the lowest price. Having facial injectables such as Botox or Restylane is not like buying the cheapest product from the supermarket – this is your face we’re talking about here. As well as the cost of the actual product you are also paying for the time, advice, expertise and follow-up from a qualified professional.

How old do you need to be to have dermal fillers for lip enhancement?

April 10th, 2012
Q.
Hi How old do you have to be to have dermal fillers for lip enhancement. I have very thin lips and am very conscious of them and would really love to have some injectable treatment to make them fuller. I have tried all kinds of creams and lotions and makeup techniques but everything is either very temporary or doesn’t give them much volume. It is mainly my upper lip which is thin and would love to have something that made them voluptuous. My parents are in agreement that i can have this treatment and will pay for it but i want to know what the age limit is and what i should look for in a good doctor. Many thanks for replying.

Thanks for your answer.

We would recommend that you are at least 18 to have dermal fillers. Lip treatments are ideal for enhancing the volume of your lips and we would be happy to discuss these with you.
