Your Perfect Lips

Prior a lip fillers treatment it is important to come to your appointment well prepared. Hereby, we share some advice:

• Prior to treatment, always fill in your medical data so that your treating physician can prepare for the consultation/treatment.
• Do you have a autoimmune disease or allergy? This is important information for our doctor to carry out the treatment safely and without risk.
• Have you undergone aesthetic treatments before? With the right previous history, our doctor can better advise you to ensure a beautiful and natural result.
• Are you pregnant or breastfeeding? Due to a lack of research, we do not treat anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding, for your safety and that of your baby. You are of course welcome after this period.

At SkinSurgery Clinics, we understand that lips and the area around the mouth are dynamic parts of the face that need to maintain their natural movement. Therefore, we choose a soft and flexible gel that adds natural-looking volume without affecting the expressiveness of your lips and mouth area.

The results of our filler treatments are long-lasting, but not permanent. Our Restylane filler is hyaluronic acid-based, which is a naturally occurring substance that also breaks down. Depending on the person, lifestyle, the amount of filler used and the area treated, results can remain visible for 9 to 12 months. At SkinSurgery Clinics, we make sure you always look radiant and natural.

A certified cosmetic always focuses on the following points to beautifully build up or improve the lips. This creates more peace and balance in the face, allowing you to achieve a more youthful, fresh look.

• Enhance lip volume
• Improve the shape of the lip
• Defining the lip edge or cupid arch
• Smoothing out lines around the mouth
• Correcting asymmetry

For optimal results, the perioral area (the area around the mouth) should also be considered. If there are lines and/or wrinkles here, it can give our appearance an ageing appearance. When we talk, laugh or move our lips, the area around our mouth and eyes automatically moves with us. Overactivity of some muscles can change our smile. The following areas can be co-treated for natural results:

• Frown wrinkle
• Crow's feet
• Nasal lip fold
• Smoker's lines/ lip filler
• Marionette lines
• Hanging corners of the mouth

No, a lip filler treatment is not necessarily painful, but most people experience the feeling as unpleasant. This is because pressure is created in the lips because hyaluronic acid is injected. Are you afraid of this oppressive feeling? No worries! Fortunately, we already take away much of this feeling by using a numbing cream.

How much filler is needed varies from person to person. The average person who has lip fillers injected has enough with 1 ml. This amount gives the effect of beautiful, full lips, but keeps the change subtle and natural. If you want a more pronounced result, you can opt for 1.5 ml. Some people don't necessarily want fuller lips, but want small tweaks to improve the symmetry of their lips, for example. They often opt for 0.5 ml. Our Skin + Surgery specialists will think with you.

The effect of lip fillers can be as subtle as you like. The first ml remains visible for about 6 months. The effect of the next lip filler treatment is visible for about 6 to 9 months. Your lips are trained, so to speak, to absorb the hyaluronic acid. In addition, the natural production of hyaluronic acid in your lips is stimulated by injecting lip fillers. This means that when you stop using lip fillers, it still leaves you with slightly fuller lips. This is a subtle change, though.

A lot of research has been done on filler injection. You will also read a lot in the media about the good and not so good experiences. Scientific research and our own experience have shown that the use of fillers is completely safe. The fillers Skin + Surgery Clinics works with are of high quality and completely biodegradable. In addition, our doctors always ensure a subtle result and guard against overfilling and an unnatural look. Our doctors therefore give honest advice at all times. Should we be of the opinion that your chosen treatment will lead to an unnatural look, we will discuss this in detail and in consultation decide not to carry out the treatment in this way.

How long results are visible varies from filler to filler. We assume an average duration of action between 6 and 12 months.

In the end, a Filler is nothing more than hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid already occurs naturally in your body and ensures that your skin is hydrated. By injecting it into the middle and lower layer of skin, the skin is hydrated from within, this ensures a long-term improvement in skin quality. Fillers can also restore volume to the face and provide a rejuvenating and lifting effect through deep injection into the skin layers.

The filler is used to rejuvenate facial wrinkles. Often after a stressful period, due to losing weight or aging, for example, your face starts to show signs. Soluble non-permanent fillers are ideal for blurring signs of ageing and fatigue. The name actually says it all, namely filler. The filler restores volume to certain areas of your face. These include lifting the cheeks, reducing the nasolabial fold and lifting the corners of the mouth.
