Why Choose EliteSkin
Lip filler uses hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in your body — to add volume, improve symmetry, and soften fine lines around the mouth. At EliteSkin, every treatment is performed by a GMC-registered doctor, using precise, conservative dosing to achieve a natural, balanced result rather than an obviously “overfilled” look. Whether you’re looking to restore lips that have thinned with age, correct asymmetry you’ve always been self-conscious about, or simply add subtle definition, our doctors take the time to understand your goals before recommending any treatment plan.Natural lip filler results are about proportion, not just volume. Our doctors are trained to work with your existing lip shape and facial structure — including the golden ratio between upper and lower lip — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. This is why so many of our patients describe their results as “no one can tell, they just say I look well.”

Am I a Good Candidate for Lip Filler?
You're likely a good candidate if:
-
You want more volume, definition or symmetry in your lips
-
You've noticed thinning or loss of lip volume with age
-
You want to soften vertical lines around the mouth
-
You're new to filler and want a conservative, natural-looking start
It’s generally not the right treatment if you’re hoping for a dramatic, highly augmented look from a single session — our doctors favour a gradual, build-up approach over several sessions for larger changes, which is both safer and gives a more natural result. Lip filler also isn’t suitable if you have an active cold sore, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid — all of which will be discussed openly during your free consultation.
Your Lip Filler Journey
1. Consultation
We assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and build a treatment plan tailored to you including whether filler is genuinely the right option.
2. Assessment & Mapping Photographs and injection-site mapping ensure precise, symmetrical treatment.
3. Preparation
The area is thoroughly cleaned, and numbing cream or a dental block is applied for comfort.
4. Injection
Filler is administered with precise, conservative dosing, focused on your specific goals — volume, symmetry, or contour.
5. Aftercare & Review
A gentle massage and cold pack reduce swelling. You’ll receive full aftercare guidance and a complimentary review 1–2 weeks later.
Lip Filler Swelling Timeline: What’s Normal?
One of the most common concerns after treatment is how much swelling to expect, and how long it lasts. Here’s the honest, realistic timeline:
Day 1: Swelling is usually most noticeable, and lips may feel firm or tight
Day 2–3: Swelling typically peaks, especially by the second day
Day 4–7: Swelling steadily reduces; any bruising begins to fade
Day 10–14: Final, settled result becomes visible. This is why we schedule your review at this point
Because lips can look larger than your final result in the first few days, we always recommend judging your results at the two-week mark, not immediately after treatment. If asymmetry or lumps persist beyond two weeks, your doctor can assess and correct this at your complimentary review.
Lip Filler vs Lip Flip — What’s the Difference?
Lip Filler
-
Hyaluronic acid adds volume
-
Best for volume and symmetry
-
Lasts 6–8 months
Lip Flip
-
Anti-wrinkle injection relaxes the upper lip muscle
-
Best for a subtle upward curl, with no added volume
-
Lasts 10–12 weeks
Many patients combine both for a fuller, subtly curled result.
How Much Does Lip Filler Cost in London?
Lip filler in London typically costs £150–£350 per session. At EliteSkin, treatment starts from £149, performed exclusively by GMC-registered doctors using licensed, medical-grade hyaluronic acid filler. Our pricing is transparent because we're a doctor-led clinic with our own premises, not because we cut corners on product. Be cautious of very low prices elsewhere, which can reflect unlicensed products or non-medical practitioners.
The exact cost of your treatment depends on how much filler is needed to achieve your goals — some patients need just half a millilitre for subtle definition, while others build volume gradually across 2–3 sessions. Your doctor will always discuss the realistic cost for your specific goals during your free consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
Juvederm vs Restylane vs Teosyal vs Perfectha - What’s the Difference?
Not all lip fillers behave the same way, and the right choice depends on your goals, lip anatomy, and how natural or defined you want the result. Here’s how the products we use actually differ:
- Juvederm® — Smooth, cohesive gel that spreads evenly — often chosen for soft, natural-looking volume and a subtle finish.
- Restylane® — Firmer consistency, holds shape well — often preferred for precise lip border definition and structure.
- Teosyal® — Known for good longevity and a soft feel — a popular all-rounder for both volume and hydration.
- Perfectha® — Smooth integration with natural tissue — often chosen for first-time patients wanting a conservative, natural starting point.
There’s no single “best” filler — it genuinely depends on your lips and your goals. This is exactly why every treatment at EliteSkin starts with a real consultation, not a pre-selected product. Your doctor will recommend the filler best suited to your anatomy and desired outcome, and explain their reasoning so you understand the choice.
First Time Getting Lip Filler? Here’s What to Know
It's completely normal to feel nervous before your first treatment. Most of our patients do. A few honest reassurances:
-
You are never obligated to proceed after your consultation. It's free, with no pressure.
-
We always start conservatively. It's always easier to add a little more than to take away.
-
Your doctor will show you before-and-after examples similar to your lip shape, so you know what's realistic.
-
If you're unsure, you can book a consultation-only visit with no treatment that day.
Many first-time patients choose a very small amount — sometimes as little as 0.5ml — specifically to see how they feel about the change before committing to more. This is a completely valid, common approach, and your doctor will never pressure you toward a larger volume than you’re comfortable with.
Is Lip Filler Migration a Real Risk?
“Lip filler migration” — where filler moves beyond the lip border over time, sometimes called “duck lips” or a flattened philtrum — is a genuine concern, but it’s largely preventable with the right approach. Migration is far more common with lower-quality or unlicensed filler, overfilling in a single session, or filler placed too superficially by an inexperienced injector.
How we reduce the risk:
-
We use only licensed, medical-grade hyaluronic acid filler
-
Conservative, gradual dosing
-
Precise injection depth and technique by a GMC-registered doctor
-
Your natural lip border is respected, not overridden
If you've had filler elsewhere that has migrated, this can usually be corrected, often by dissolving the affected area with hyaluronidase and starting fresh with a more conservative approach. This is a conversation worth having openly at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Medically reviewed by Dr. Katerina (MBBS, MRCGP), Medical Director · October 2026
How long does lip filler last?
Lip filler typically lasts 6 to 8 months, though this varies depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of filler used.
Does lip filler hurt?
Most patients find it very manageable. Numbing cream or a dental block can be used beforehand, and the filler itself contains lidocaine for added comfort.
What is the difference between lip filler and a lip flip?
Lip filler adds volume using hyaluronic acid. A lip flip uses a small amount of anti-wrinkle injection to relax the upper lip muscle for a subtle curl, without adding volume. The two can be combined.
Is lip filler safe?
When performed by a GMC-registered doctor using licensed filler, lip filler is considered safe. Choosing a doctor-led clinic significantly reduces the risk of complications.
Can lip filler be dissolved if I don’t like the result?
Yes — hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you’re unhappy with the result or experience a complication.
Will my lip filler look natural?
Yes, when performed conservatively by an experienced doctor. Our approach favours proportion and gradual build-up over dramatic single-session change, which is what gives the most natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How much swelling should I expect after lip filler?
Swelling is normal and typically peaks around day 2–3, settling significantly by day 7 and fully by around two weeks — which is why we schedule your review appointment at that point, not immediately after treatment.
Can I wear lipstick after lip filler?
We recommend avoiding lipstick and other lip products for at least 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection at injection points.
Combining Lip Filler with Other Treatments
Many patients choose to combine lip filler with other treatments for a more complete result. A lip flip, using a small amount of anti-wrinkle injection, can be added alongside filler for a subtle upward curl without extra volume. Patients concerned with fine lines around the mouth sometimes pair lip filler with Profhilo or Polynucleotides to improve overall skin quality in the surrounding area, rather than treating the lips in isolation. Your doctor can advise on the right combination and sequencing for your goals during your free consultation — there’s never any pressure to add treatments you don’t need.
