About the Treatment
Enhance your lips with volume, definition, and symmetry using lip filler
Lip filler is a non-surgical treatment designed to enhance the natural beauty of your lips by adding volume, improving shape, and correcting asymmetry. Using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, this treatment provides a soft, plump appearance while maintaining a natural look. Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or more noticeable volume, lip filler can be tailored to your aesthetic preferences.
At Smooth Dimensions, our Advanced Aesthetic Nurse, Fiona Mahandru, is an expert in creating beautifully balanced, natural results. During your consultation, Fiona will work with you to design a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and complements your features.

Is there any downtime?
There is little to no downtime. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, although it's advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. You may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few days.
Is there anything I need to do before my treatment?
To minimise bruising, swelling, and complications, avoid the following before your appointment:
7 days before treatment:
- Ibuprofen, naproxen, and other NSAIDs.
- Alcohol – increases the risk of bruising and swelling.
- Omega-3 & vitamin E – can thin the blood and increase bruising.
- Herbal supplements, especially Ginkgo Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and Ginseng – increases the risk of bruising.
24 to 48 hours before treatment:
- Caffeine – can increase sensitivity and bruising risk.
- Intense exercise – can increase blood flow and worsen swelling or bruising.
On the day of treatment:
- Arrive makeup-free if possible.
- Stay hydrated and eat a light meal to prevent feeling lightheaded.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine.
If you are prone to bruising, Arnica supplements may help when taken a few days before treatment.
What are lip fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable treatments made of hyaluronic acid that enhance lip volume, shape, and symmetry.
What is the difference between a lip flip (using botulinum toxin) and lip filler (using dermal filler)?
Both treatments enhance the appearance of the lips, but they work differently:
- Lip flip (botulinum toxin): Uses small doses of botulinum toxin around the upper lip to relax the muscles, causing the lip to roll outward slightly. This creates a subtle lift without adding volume, and results typically last 3 – 4 months.
- Lip filler (dermal filler): Involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based gel into the lips for noticeable volume, shape, and definition. The effect is more pronounced and can last from 6 – 12 months, depending on the product used and individual factors.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after the procedure, with optimal results appearing as swelling subsides within a few days.
