What is the cost of a syringe of permanent dermal filler for lip augmentation?

December 11th, 2012
Q.
What is the cost one syringe of permanent dermal filler for lip augmentation(volume precisely)?
I’ve had temporary dermal fillers done on my lips and been satisfied with the results. For a subtle change I would opt for one syringe for upper and lower lips. I’ve always used Restylane as I liked the first result of it. My fillers would last about 10 to 12 months. However when I got it done the first time my fillers were completely gone in a week. What could have been the reason.
Now I’m considering getting permanent dermal fillers for my lips for their volume and I would like to know their cost and what names are they available? Does Restylane have permanent fillers?
Where can it be done in Birmingham, UK?
A.
I would absolutely NOT recommend having any form of permanent filler in your lips.
Although it may seem a good idea, in my opinion the safety advantages of HA fillers far outweigh their lack of longevity. I would recommend Restylane Lip Volume or Emervel Lips.

How can I achieve fuller lips with out getting a ‘trout pout’?

November 30th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Peter,
I would like to have fuller lips but I am worried about getting a so-called ‘trout pout’ like many celebrities seem to fashion these days. Id there any kind of filler that I should stay clear of or any that you would recommend for the lips?I don’t want a huge change just more volume so my lipstick looks better and my face is more proportional. Also, I am worried about how to find a good clinic to get the procedure done , any tips for this? Thanks for your help and I look forward to reading your view.

Hello,

I would very definitely go for a mainstream HA filler for the lips. Probably Restylane Lip Volume or Juvederm. A skilled and sensitive practitioner will never over-fill the lips. Lips should never look ‘treated’. However, remember that lips are an area of the face that will always swell and bruise for a day or two, so be prepared for some downtime.

If you don’t have a personal recommendation then you could start with the Restylane practitioner finder at http://www.restylane.co.uk/Practitioner-Finder/

Is Global Action suitable to give volume to the lips?

November 13th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Forrester,
I have a question for you.; can you use Global Action in your lips to achieve more volume? I read on the website that it is recommended for fine lines and mild to moderate wrinkles but not as an injectable for your lips. There is another one for your lips. I want to achieve volume in my lips and nowhere else. Can you use Global Action in the lips?
Thank you for your time.
A.
 I think I’m correct in saying that Global Action is a HA filler from the Teosyal range. This is not a range that I use and so wouldn’t like to comment on its suitability for lips. Personally I would use Restylane Lipp Volume.
I have confidence in the Restylane range because it has been in use for a long time with an excellent safety record. Sorry not to be of more help.

I want lip enhancement treatment but i want it to look natural, what do you suggest?

October 12th, 2012
Q.
Hi, its a question regarding lip enhancement. I have very thin lips bottom lip is slightly larger but still not very plump. I am currently wearing a brace and its filled them out but once this comes off theyll be back to normal. Ive seen the celebs that have had there lips done and it looks terrible, is there any product on the market for thin lips that doesn’t make you look like a duck that literally just fills them out abit?. I also suffer with cold sores will the treatment bring one out?thanks
A.
Hello there, thanks for your question.

I can see why you are concerned, in my opinion there are lots of folks out there with badly & over done lips. If that’s what they want, then fine but it’s not what most people want from a lip enhancement. The problem is that it gives the impression that this is how it’s always done. However there are lots of people with very natural-looking lip enhancements, but you won’t notice them – you’d think that they had nice, naturally full lips.

The secret is not which product, but how much volume is used. A full discussion with your practitioner should ascertain what you are looking to achieve and importantly what you are not looking to achieve.

I favour Restylane Lip Volume but there are other hyaluronic acid fillers that also would work well.

With regard to your cold sores I would prescribe a short course of aciclovir tablets (zovirax) for 5 days after treatment so that this was not a problem.
