Ready to enhance your natural beauty and achieve the perfect pout? At Matilda May, we want you to have all the information you need to make the right choice for your beauty journey. Here are five things you need to know before getting Lip Filler:

1. Consultation is Key

It is essential to have a consultation with an experienced practitioner before beginning any cosmetic procedure. For best results, it is important your injector understands your treatment goals and can share expectations with you. It also allows you to learn about the benefits and risks of treatment, as well as potential side effects. Our skilled professionals at Matilda May will discuss and assess the best options for you to achieve your desired result.

2. Choosing the Right Filler

Lip Filler is a versatile substance, coming in a variety of formations each with individual qualities. Choosing an experienced practitioner means they will have a strong knowledge of the benefits of different types of filler, and be able to apply this appropriately. At Matilda May, we put quality first and will only use a product on you that we believe will give you the best results.

3. Realistic Expectations

Lip Filler results can be beautiful and life-changing, but it is important to maintain realistic expectations. There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution as everyone’s anatomy and structure are different. Remember that the goal is to emphasise your unique features, rather than making drastic changes.

4. Lifespan of Results

Lip Filler lifespan will vary for everyone due to a range of factors, from metabolism, product, lip structure and injection technique. Typically results will last for 6-9 months before requiring a maintenance appointment to prolong your desired look. It is important to know that over time, as the integrity of the filler breaks down and your body begins to naturally remove the product, migration can occur. This is easily fixed and techniques are used to avoid this.

5. Potential Side Effects

Just like any injection, Lip Filler can come with some side effects. Post-treatment swelling and bruising can be expected, healing in only a few days. The likelihood of an extreme complication such as a Vascular Occlusion is rare but possible. Your practitioner will discuss the signs to look out for and how to respond. At Matilda May, all practitioners are well-trained in handling complications should they occur.
Lip Filler can create beautiful results, enhancing your natural beauty and helping you to feel more confident. It is important to seek a practitioner you trust, and who understands your goals, while delivering you with appropriate expectations.
