Lip augmentation is a treatment which involves a small number of injections to place filler into the lips to increase volume and create definition. The process is relatively quick, and results are immediate.
Lip Augmentation
AnnaLouise uses the Juvederm range of fillers for lip enhancement, which is a non-permanent filler made up of the naturally occurring molecule hyaluronic acid. The effects of treatment last 12-18 months depending on age, lifestyle factors and the volume of product used.
Treatment of Ageing Lips
Production of collagen decreases as a result of the ageing process. This causes the lips to become thinner and flatter, losing their volume and definition. Lines develop around the mouth, causing lipstick bleed and a 'downturned mouth' appearance. A small amount of filler can very effectively rejuvenate the lips, and beautifully restore natural volume and definition.
Treatment for Thin Lips
Although not yet affected by the ageing process some women have thin lips as a result of genetics, and notice that their top lip disappears when they smile. This can result in low self-confidence as the lips are one of the most prominent features of a smile. Lip filler placed in the body and border of the lips will increase volume, define lip shape and improve the overall appearance of the lips and mouth.
Treatment for Asymmetry
Some people have naturally uneven lips, and find this is more obvious when wearing lipstick. Fillers are a good treatment option for correction of asymmetry, and in most cases can very effectively improve the appearance of the lips. Whatever your reason please get in touch and AnnaLouise will be happy to help.

Juvederm Volift is a firm but natural looking filler which was used here to increase lip volume and create a beautifully defined shape.
Lip Rejuvenation
A very soft filler Juvederm Volbella was used for this 66 year old lady to recreate definition and replace volume which had been lost as a result of ageing. The upper lip lines were also directly treated to improve appearance and prevent lipstick bleed.

Lip Rejuvenation
This anti-ageing rejuvenation was achieved using a 1ml syringe of Juvederm Volbella.

What's Involved?
AnnaLouise offers a free initial consultation to discuss options for lip enhancement, and to give an opportunity to ask any questions.
Initial Consultation
During this appointment your medical history will be discussed to ensure any prescription medications or health issues will not be affected by treatment. Your lips will then be assessed and a suitable filler and number of syringes will be recommended. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss treatment options, and for you to ask questions.
Treatment
Prior to commencing any treatment you will need to sign a consent form. AnnaLouise will give detailed information on the benefits and risks of lip fillers to equip you with the knowledge needed to confirm you are happy to proceed. Photos will be taken before and after treatment. The procedure itself is fairly quick, but the appointment time is 1 hour to allow enough time for numbing cream to take effect and relevant paperwork to be completed.
Follow Up Appointment
You are welcome to attend an optional follow up appointment to assess the healed results of your enhancement using before and after photography.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions by our clients.
If you have a question which is not listed here send us a message or book a consultation.
Yes, this is absolutely fine if you are happy to pay a small deposit at the time of booking.
Juvederm contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule which creates volume in the lips. It also contains lidocaine which is a local anaesthetic to ensure a more comfortable treatment experience.
Prior to injection a local anaesthetic cream is applied directly to the lip area and this is given plenty of time to take effect. There is also a numbing agent in the filler itself so the level of pain and discomfort is kept to a minimum. The majority of people treated are pleasantly surprised about the level of pain, and say it is less than they were expecting.
Yes, there are possible side effects of lip fillers. Common side effects include inflammatory skin reactions such as redness , swelling, itchiness and bruising. These effects are all temporary and should resolve within a week. Although extremely rare there are other more serious risks of treatment; these include skin discolouration, abscesses, granulomas (foreign body reaction) and immediate or delayed hypersensitivity. Another extremely rare but serious risk of lip fillers is blockage of a blood vessel causing lack of blood supply to affected areas. AnnaLouise has had full training on management of complications, and is qualified to dissolve the filler using a dissolving enzyme called Hyaluronidase if there was any concern that the filler had caused a blockage.
During initial consultation AnnaLouise can advise on which filler and volume is most appropriate for you, this is based on desired outcome of treatment. Juvederm Volbella is a soft, natural looking filler suitable for those wanting a subtle rejuvenation. Juvederm Volift is a firmer filler recommended for a more noticeable increase in volume. Juvederm Ultra Smile and Juvederm Volift Retouch are available in a 0.55ml syringe, so is suitable for people who have had filler before and are wanting to top up their enhancement.
In a natural looking lip the lower lip is always fuller than the top, so treating the upper lip alone with filler is likely to give an unnatural 'ducky' appearance. However this is assessed on a case by case basis, and if deemed appropriate AnnaLouise is happy to treat just the upper or lower lip.
Lip filler is not to be used during pregnancy, or while breast feeding. Another contraindication is known allergy to hyaluronic acid injections, or the prescence of an active cold sore or lip infection.
Absolutely not! Sadly there is a stigma attached to lip fillers, and we often see people who have had too much filler, or incorrect filler placement. This gives an unsightly, unattractive appearance. AnnaLouise strongly believes that often less is more, with the aim being to enhance your natural lips rather than to completely change their look.
It is best to avoid excessive or very strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and to avoid wearing lip gloss or lipstick until the day after treatment. Avoid extreme sun exposure, saunas and steam rooms for two weeks, as the the high heat can make swelling more prounounced. If you are having lip fillers for a special event make sure you allow time after your appointment for swelling to settle - generally 1 week is sufficient but AnnaLouise will advise on this during your consultation.
No, AnnaLouise uses the Juvederm range of fillers, which is non-permanent. The effects of treatment last 12-18 months, but depends on factors such as age, lifestyle and volume of filler injected.
Yes - if deemed appropriate AnnaLouise is happy to dissolve your filler. Please book in for a free consultation as your suitability will need to be assessed prior to treatment.
