Lip Fillers at Allure
At Allure Face & Smile, lip filler is approached the same way as every other treatment: your lips, just more considered. Dr Monica Pais plans lip enhancement around proportion and symmetry, aiming for a refined version of your own lips rather than a different shape altogether
Facial balance, not trends.
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers typically use a hyaluronic acid gel, injected into the lips to:
-
Add volume
-
Improve definition
-
Address minor asymmetry
Dr Pais assesses your lips alongside your nose, chin and jawline, and won’t recommend a volume or shape that wouldn’t suit your face, even if it’s requested. As with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects, which she’ll discuss beforehand.
Working out what will suit your face
If you decide to go ahead, Dr Pais talks you through the technique she plans to use and what to expect during and after treatment, so there are no surprises on the day. If lip filler isn’t the right choice for you, she’ll tell you.
Settling in after your appointment
What to expect afterwards.
Some swelling, tenderness or minor bruising is common and usually settles within a few days.
Dr Pais provides clear aftercare advice and lets you know when to expect your final result. As with all filler treatment, results are individual and can’t be guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
1. Will my lips look natural?
Dr Pais’s approach favours subtle, proportionate enhancement in keeping with your facial features, although the final result depends on individual anatomy and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
2. How long do lip fillers last?
Duration varies between individuals, but hyaluronic acid lip fillers are typically broken down by the body over time and are not permanent. Dr Pais can discuss expected timeframes during consultation.
3. Is the treatment painful?
Some discomfort during injection is common, and numbing options may be available to help with comfort. Dr Pais can discuss this with you beforehand.
4. Can lip fillers be reversed?
In many cases, hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using a separate treatment, though this cannot always fully reverse every outcome. Dr Pais can explain this further if relevant to you.
5. Who shouldn’t have lip fillers?
Certain people, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or with particular allergies or medical conditions, may not be suitable. This is assessed individually during consultation.
6. Will there be visible swelling straight after treatment?
Some swelling and minor bruising is common in the first few days after treatment. Dr Pais will explain what to expect and how to manage this during aftercare guidance.
7. Can lip filler correct uneven lips?
Filler can often help address minor asymmetry, though the degree of correction possible depends on individual anatomy, which Dr Pais will assess during your consultation.
8. Does Allure offer a lip flip as well as lip filler?
Both are options Dr Pais can discuss at consultation; a lip flip works differently to filler, and she’ll explain which approach, if either, suits what you’re looking for.
