What are lip fillers?
Lip augmentation is a procedure that aims to increase both volume and definition. In some cases, filler can also help to correct asymmetry of the lips by alignment of the top and bottom lip - each patients treatment is bespoke to them to ensure the most beautifying result.
Here at Klnik we use a cannula method when carrying out lip filler treatment, this is an alternative method to the usual needle technique. Cannulas are specifically useful in sensitive areas of the face such as the lips but can also be used in areas such as the tear trough, cheek and jaw. A cannula has a blunt end in which causes less trauma to the lip. This therefore reduces swelling and bruising meaning you get to see the end result of your new filler faster. This also dramatically reduces the chance of vascular occlusion (cell death) and also filler migration.
Lip fillers are a perfect way to add or restore volume to your lips and when done properly, can still look natural! However depending on your anatomy you might not be a candidate for lip filler. The vermillion border is the line in which your red lip meets the white lip and when this leans forward it makes it difficult to increase the red show. In this case a procedure called the 'lip flip' would be beneficial which involves injecting anti-wrinkle injections in the top lip to reduce muscle movement therefore increasing red show. In some cases it would be a combination of both filler and botox which is why it is important to have a consultation with one of our Doctors beforehand to decide which treatment would be the best for you!
What will happen on the day of treatment?
- Following your consultation, a medical questionnaire will be filled out which will deem whether you are suitable for treatment.
- A series of before and after pictures will also be taken at various angles and expressions. This will therefore allow us to compare the outcome of your treatments to ensure we reach your desired result.
- Your skin will then be cleansed and a numb cream is applied to the area. Numbing cream is proven to reduce pain from filler by 60% when a needle is used. However the same can not be said for the cannula method.Whether a needle or cannula is used will depend on what treatment you are having and also your own facial structure.
- In this case a cannula will be used with a small introducer which will pierce the entry point for the cannula to follow. The cannula is a blunt instrument and is therefore the safest method of filler administration and so the risks are reduced. This method also dramatically reduces the risk of swelling and bruising.
- Following the procedure you may feel tender to touch and may possibly experience swelling and redness. This will subside over the following days however over the counter pain relief and arnica cream may be applied.
- We also ask that you refrain from any physical activity for 24 hours and avoid extreme heat, including hot tubs and saunas. It is also advised to avoid make up on the area for 24 hours as this could lead to an infection.
- You will then receive a follow up phone call 2 weeksprior to treatment to ensure you are happy with the treatment.

Lip Filler
Before and After
“The world is lip obsessed. Lip filler can be a beautiful thing when performed correctly. It is the most difficult facial filler and needs supreme technical skills. I like to alternate between the needle and cannula method depending on the patients anatomy. This gives the most beautifying affect with no migration”
