Before and after procedure

Before / After

I recently corrected asymmetric lips caused by a previous filler injection performed elsewhere. This correction was achieved without dissolving the existing filler, simply by adding volume where needed and rebalancing the proportions with precision. The “before” image clearly shows the asymmetry, while the “after” picture reveals a more harmonious and balanced lip shape.


Asymmetries following lip filler injections can occasionally occur, even when the procedure is done correctly.

That’s the main reason a follow-up is so important, and that's why I recommend a second lip filler treatment to smooth out any inconsistencies that appeared during the healing period (two weeks after injection). Common factors that can alter a procedure done correctly include:

• Improper aftercare during the healing period (first 2 weeks)

• Sleeping consistently on one side • Smoking predominantly on one side • A naturally strong pre-existing asymmetry


However, in the majority of cases, these asymmetries appear following poor injection technique + improper filler products. This is particularly common among less experienced practitioners, especially those coming from unrelated medical backgrounds and beauticians with minimal or no filler training and little experience.


Contrary to popular belief, cosmetic injectables are not taught in medical school

This is an extracurricular field that requires additional, highly specialised training and extensive hands-on experience.

FAQ about injectables

  • Can I have less than 1ml flip filler?
    Yes, If you're considering a subtle enhancement, less than 1ml is a great option. It adds definition while keeping your lips looking natural and balanced. Please note that the price remains the same as 1ml. This is because fillers come in sealed 1ml syringes, and even if only part is used, the entire syringe must be discarded after treatment.
  • What's the minimum age for injectables?
    In the UK, you must be 18 or older to get injectables. This prohibition is enforced by the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act 2021, which came into effect on 1 October 2021. The law applies regardless of parental consent or whether the individual is a resident or visitor in England.
  • Can I go to an important event next day?
    Injectables can cause temporary inflammation and localised bruising, which usually begin to settle within 3 to 7 days. To be safe, schedule your treatment at least one week before any major event and follow all aftercare instructions carefully.
  • Are injectables painful?
    Pain perception varies from person to person; however, the majority of patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure, while others find it completely painless. A topical anaesthetic containing lidocaine is applied prior to treatment to minimise any potential discomfort and enhance patient comfort. Among chin, cheek, and lip fillers, lip filler is generally considered the most uncomfortable.
  • How long does the results last?
    Fillers results typically last between 6 to 12 months while ant-wrinkle treatments around 4 months, depending on many contributing factors like the brand of filler, your metabolism, and lifestyle. Regular maintenance appointments can help sustain your results.
  • How soon can I return to my daily routine?
    There may be some mild swelling or bruising for 2-3 days after your treatment. Advice: If you're preparing for an important event such as a wedding, party, or photoshoot, schedule your treatments at least 1-2 weeks in advance to be safe. This allows time for any swelling or bruising to fully settle.

  • What is the natural-look lip filler technique?
    The "natural-look" lip filler technique focuses on enhancing the lips subtly to complement an individual's facial features rather than creating an overfilled or artificial appearance. The goal is to achieve results that look like natural plumpness, hydration, and a well-defined shape. Minimal amounts of filler will be used to gradually build up volume as needed. This helps prevent an "overdone" look, sometimes referred to as "duck lips," and ensures the lips look naturally fuller.
