Dermal fillersDuring dermal fillers treatment
Treatment with injectable fillers is an office based procedure that usually takes less than 30 minutes. It is possible to apply local anaesthetic cream on the skin or on the lips to decrease sensation and reduce the discomfort related to the treatment, although many people find this unnecessary.
Volume augmentation
Volume augmentation of the lips can also be carried out using regional nerve block which means that the lips become completely numb, but they will take several hours to recover, similar to the dental local anaesthetic.
Results
The results after the treatment are immediate, and it is possible to monitor the changes and guide your surgeon regarding areas that you feel require attention.
After the treatment
After the treatment, it is important to avoid excessive rubbing to the treatment areas and application of cold is sometimes favourable to minimising reactions like redness or swelling.
