Lip Lift

Dr Natasha’s signature injection technique to uncurl a lip, for a fuller lifted top lip.

How long it takes

Approximate treatment time is 20 minutes.

Return to work

Approximately 1 hour after treatment.

Recovery time

Approximately 24–72 hours after treatment.

How long it lasts

Approximately 3-4 months after treatment.

Consultation

A £50 no-refundable deposit is required and can be used toward either the face to face consultation OR the treatment on the day.

Pain relief during injections

A numbing cream may be applied to the area prior to the treatment (45 minutes prior is ideal) Glad wrap may be used over the numbing cream to increase its effect.

Most patients do not bother with numbing cream because it takes so long to work and because the treatment isn’t very painful anyway.

Ice is always used to decrease pain and to reduce the risk of bruising.

What happens during the treatment itself?

The face will be cleaned with alcohol and chlorhexidine. Ice will be applied to the area briefly before treatment. Dr Natasha will inject approx 4 sites near the lips. Then pressure with gauze will be applied. The procedure itself can take less than 5 minutes.

Possible side effects

In general, treatment is very low-risk. However, headaches can occur in around 10% of new users and bruising occurs in a significant number of cases.
