What they are
Lip filler treatments add volume, improve symmetry, and define the shape of the lips — all while maintaining a natural look. At Coastal Aesthetics, every treatment is suited to your individual features and goals. For added comfort, a dental block is available (local anaesthetic injection), making your experience virtually painless!
Add volume and define shape safely
What to expect
Your consultation will be between 60-90 minutes. Most patients experience slight discomfort during the procedure, which can be minimised with topical numbing cream before the procedure. An advisable dental block can be used for increased comfort.
After lip filler injections, you can expect temporary swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site. Side effects usually subside within a few days but may persist for a week or more in some cases. It's normal to feel some tenderness or tightness in the lips.
