Lip Augmentation procedures

Lip Fillers (Dermal Fillers): The mechanism involves adding volume using hyaluronic acid, with results including increased lip size, enhanced shape, and improved definition. Duration is typically 6-9 months, costing £300-£500 per treatment, and is ideal for thin lips or those wanting more volume.

Lip Flip (Botox): The mechanism involves relaxing muscles around lips using botulinum toxin, creating the appearance of fuller upper lip by relaxing lip muscles. Duration is typically 3-4 months, costing £150-£250 per treatment, and is best for clients who want subtle enhancement.

Combination Approach: Enhanced results can be achieved by combining both treatments for optimal outcome. Timing involves lip flip first, then fillers 2 weeks later, with different maintenance schedules for each treatment. This approach is cost-effective as lip flip can extend filler results.

Immediate Post-Treatment (First 2-3 days): Lips may feel firmer or slightly lumpy in texture, with increased sensitivity to touch and temperature. Swelling effects may make lips feel larger than final result, and slight stiffness during initial healing is normal.

Recovery Timeline: Texture normalises as swelling subsides at days 3-7, lips feel natural and soft by week 2, complete integration with natural lip tissue occurs at month 1, and there’s no difference in sensation from natural lips ongoing.

Kissing and Intimacy: Avoid kissing for the first 24 hours to prevent infection risk. Gentle kissing is acceptable once swelling reduces at days 2-7, normal kissing and intimacy is fully resumed by week 2, and there’s no impact on sensation or pleasure long-term.

Eating and Drinking: Soft foods are recommended for the first 24 hours, avoid very hot or spicy foods for days 2-7, normal diet is completely resumed by week 2, and there are no dietary restrictions after healing ongoing

Standard Pricing: 0.5ml costs £300-£350 for subtle enhancement, 1ml costs £400-£500 for moderate enhancement, 1.5ml costs £550-£650 for significant enhancement, and consultation is £50 but redeemable against treatment.

What’s Included: Comprehensive consultation includes assessment and treatment planning, topical anaesthetic provides pain relief during treatment, premium products use high-quality hyaluronic acid fillers, aftercare kit includes lip balm and care instructions, follow-up appointment includes 2-week review, and emergency contact provides 24-hour helpline for concerns.

Natural Enhancement Philosophy: At Harley Court, we believe in enhancing your natural lip shape rather than creating an artificial look. We work with your facial proportions to achieve balanced, harmonious results.

Results Duration: Initial swelling subsides within 2-3 days, final shape is apparent after 2 weeks, longevity is typically 6-9 months, and maintenance with regular top-ups every 6-8 months maintains optimal results.

Customisation Options: We offer subtle volume enhancement, lip border definition, asymmetry correction, smoker’s lines treatment, and cupid’s bow enhancement.

Critical First 48 Hours: Avoid alcohol consumption, avoid strenuous exercise, avoid heat exposure such as saunas, sunbeds, and hot baths, don’t press, massage, or manipulate your lips, sleep with head elevated, and use provided lip balm regularly.

Ongoing Care: Practice gentle oral hygiene, avoid very hot or spicy foods initially, use SPF lip protection, stay hydrated, and attend follow-up appointment after 2 weeks.

Expected Side Effects: Swelling is most prominent for 24-48 hours, bruising may last 3-7 days, tenderness when touching lips is normal, and temporary asymmetry whilst swelling subsides is expected.

Rare Complications: Small lumps or irregularities are usually massage-able, prolonged swelling occasionally lasts 2-3 weeks, and allergic reactions are extremely rare with hyaluronic acid.

Cost Estimate: £300-£500 per treatment, depending on the amount of product required.
