Whether you’re looking to define the lip line, add volume, or correct asymmetry, lip filler is a versatile treatment that delivers impactful yet natural-looking results.

The 8D Lip Design assesses eight key dimensions of the lips, which help guide a personalised and balanced treatment:
This multi-dimensional analysis helps Dr. Bela determine the most effective filler product, injection technique, and amount of filler to create a beautiful, natural-looking lip.
The lips are highly mobile and delicate, requiring a specific type of filler. We typically use soft, hydrating hyaluronic acid lip fillers that move naturally with lip muscles. These fillers are commonly used for lip treatments due to their flexibility and safety profile. Because of the lips’ constant movement, lip fillers typically last about 12 months—shorter than other areas of the face.
Dr. Bela uses a refined combination of techniques for his lip filler treatments, including:
Depending on the patient, Dr. Bela may use the standard needle included with the syringe, very fine needles for smaller lips or vertical work, or blunt-tipped cannulas for mature patients with fragile lip tissue. Each lip filler procedure is customised based on the patient’s anatomy and desired results.
Yes, if too much filler is used or if it’s injected incorrectly, filler can migrate beyond the natural lip line. This is why it is essential to choose an experienced practitioner. If needed, migrated or excessive filler can be dissolved using Hyalase, and a new lip filler plan can be safely started to restore natural shape.
The procedure begins with a consultation and application of a high strength numbing gel, which provides adequate comfort for nearly all patients. Lip filler is injected strategically to build a fuller lip or enhance the lip line while maintaining facial balance.
After treatment, swelling is common and completely normal. Most patients experience some swelling within the first 48 hours. Bruises, if any, typically resolve within a few days. We recommend timing your lip filler appointment at a moment when you don’t have any planned social engagements for at least 5–7 days afterwards. The final result settles within two weeks.
Lip fillers offer a quick and effective way to improve lip look without surgery. The results of lip filler are visible almost immediately and continue to improve as swelling subsides.
Over the years, Dr. Bela has identified multiple melanomas on aesthetic patients—often in areas they hadn’t noticed themselves. In one notable case, during a Botox consultation, he spotted a small but suspicious lesion on a patient’s forehead. When reviewing previous treatment photos, it became clear that the melanoma had gradually developed over time, becoming increasingly visible across sessions. Despite its small size, the lesion was already an early invasive melanoma—but was thankfully detected in time. This case is just one of several examples highlighting how melanoma can remain hidden in plain sight. For this reason, Dr. Bela now offers a discounted mole check for all existing aesthetic patients, making it easier to combine cosmetic care with life-saving early detection.
Your lip filler treatment will be performed by Dr. Bela, a consultant dermatologist and expert in advanced dermal filler treatments. He has trained with global leaders in lip aesthetics and brings a unique blend of science, safety, and artistry to every injectable filler procedure.
Lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid lip fillers are flexible, hydrating, and can be dissolved if needed.
Because of the lip tissue’s mobility, lip fillers typically last around 12 months. The filler breaks down more quickly in the lips than in less active areas.
Some post-procedure swelling is expected and completely normal. The lips tend to remain swollen for a few days, with the full result settling within two weeks. Bruising is rare, but if it does occur, it is usually mild and short-lived. Arnica cream and cold compresses can support healing if needed.
We use soft, FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers like Teosyal RHA2 or RHA3. These fillers are designed specifically for the delicate lip region.
Yes, lip fillers are temporary and reversible. If you’re not happy with the result or have experienced filler migration, we can dissolve the filler using a product called Hyalase.
Yes. The safest and most effective results often come from gradual lip enhancement injections. This allows the lip to adapt and prevents overfilling.
