Dr. Barbara O'Beirne M.B.

Beautiful lips are a most desired asset. Injections to improve the shape, volume and outline are very popular. When skilfully administered, the results can be very pleasing.

 

Uses

 

Lip fillers can be used to add volume to lips, to define the lip boarder, and to enhance the "Cupid's Bow".

 

They can also be used very effectively in older clients whose lips have lost volume and look thin. Here, mouth corners can also be lifted and lines around the mouth softened.

 

Lip fillers are also a very effective treatment for smokers lines.

 

Treatment

 

The treatment is given by injection using Volbella, which is a form of hyaluronic acid specifically formulated for the lips to give a natural and soft finish. It also contains local anaesthetic for the comfort of the client.

 

Results are immediately visible and last for up to a year.

 

Side Effects

 

Side effects are minor and can include temporary swelling of the lips which will subside over a number of hours or days.
