Do lip injections hurt?

A numbing agent is used to minimise discomfort, and most clients find the treatment very manageable.

Does lip filler dissolve naturally?

We use Juvederm lip filler, which is made from hyaluronic acid and will gradually dissolve naturally. If you are unhappy with the outcome for any reason, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to break down the filler.

How long does swelling last?

Swelling after lip fillers is normal and usually settles within 3 to 5 days. Mild swelling may last slightly longer, depending on the individual.

Can lip fillers look natural?

Yes, when performed correctly, lip fillers can look very natural. The goal of lip enhancement in London is to enhance your existing features rather than overfill the lips.

What should I avoid after getting lip fillers?

After lip injections, you should avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise and touching the treated area for at least 24 hours. Following proper aftercare helps optimise your results.

Can lip fillers go wrong?

While lip fillers are generally safe, poor technique can lead to issues such as uneven results or lumpiness. Choosing an experienced practitioner for lip fillers on Harley Street significantly reduces these risks.

How much do lip fillers cost in London?

Lip fillers in London typically start from £300, depending on the amount of filler used and the desired result. A personalised consultation will determine the exact cost of your lip enhancement.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Rupesh for my Botox for over 6 years now and it’s always a pleasure. Results are always amazing and Rupesh is just a wonderful person to be around - even if for 15 mins at a time. Could not recommend more!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh was an amazing practitioner. From when I arrived, he explained the full procedure to me making sure to highlight the after-care and what I need to do for the best results. He talked me through everything he was doing and made me feel at ease. The Botox procedure was seamless and was very quick. I told him my problem areas and he made sure to explain how this is going to help that. He was very knowledgeable and even recommended other services based on my future needs giving me the pros and cons for each one. I left very happy and I will definitely be back when I need a top up, and recommend him to everyone. Thanks a lot, Rupesh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Rupesh at the London Lip Clinic. I had been struggling with excessive underarm sweating for a long time—it was really uncomfortable and started affecting my confidence. I tried different roll-ons recommended by my GP, but nothing worked.

A friend of mine mentioned that her sister had the same issue and got treated by Dr. Rupesh with Botox for hyperhidrosis, and it worked really well for her. That gave me the push I needed to book a consultation.

Honestly, I wasn’t sure if the treatment would work for me, and I was also a bit scared about the pain and the whole process. But Dr. Rupesh was incredibly patient, kind, and professional. He took the time to explain everything in detail and really helped put my mind at ease.

He mentioned that results can start showing anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks, depending on the person. For me, I noticed a difference the very next day! It’s now been 3 weeks since my treatment, and I haven’t experienced any sweating at all—I’m honestly so happy with the results.

I highly recommend Dr. Rupesh and the team at London Lip Clinic. Thank you so much for looking after me!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh is an amazing man and practitioner. He takes such good and skilled technical care with treatment and is generous in tweaking results later and so achieves the best result of any such doctor I have had anywhere in the world. But it is the human being who so readily comes through that makes him especially good at his craft and with his patients. I have been seeing Rupesh for well over two years now and have gotten to know him as a person. He is dedicated to his parents, to his family and thoughtful about life, how to raise children, how others feel and how he can help them. An authentic and skilled man. Thank you Rupesh - this review was long-planned but well overdue.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rupesh makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and is excellent at his job, ensuring you get exactly the level of improvement you desire. His honesty and professionalism ensure there is no hard sell which is unusual (and greatly appreciated) in this field. His aftercare is reassuring and informative. I wouldn’t go anywhere else again and have no doubts recommending him and his clinic.

What Are Lip Fillers and How Do They Work?

Lip fillers are injectable gels used to add volume, refine contours and support the shape of the lips. They are also known as lip injections or lip augmentation filler.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body that attracts and retains water. In dermal fillers, it is formulated into a gel with properties suited to different treatment goals.

Careful placement within selected areas of the lips adds fullness or definition. The result depends on the product, quantity and placement, together with your existing anatomy.

At London Lip Clinic, we use hyaluronic acid fillers, including the Juvéderm filler range. Your consultation establishes which product is appropriate for the softness, flexibility and support your treatment requires.

What Can Lip Filler Treatment Improve?

Lip enhancement involves more than increasing size. Treatment can focus on specific features while maintaining proportion across the upper lip, lower lip and wider face.

Lip Volume and Naturally Thin Lips

Lip fillers add fullness to naturally thin lips or restore volume that has reduced over time.

The amount used is guided by the capacity of your lip tissue and the intended change. A gradual approach allows enhancement to develop without placing excessive volume in a single appointment.

Lip Shape, Border and Cupid’s Bow

Treatment can refine the lip border, improve contour and define the Cupid’s bow.

For patients seeking clearer definition, filler placement focuses on shape and support rather than simply making the lips larger.

Lip Symmetry and Proportion

Differences between the two sides of the lips, or between the upper and lower lip, are common.

Targeted filler placement helps improve selected differences in volume and shape. Your assessment considers the lips at rest and during movement, because filler does not correct every cause of asymmetry.

Age-Related Volume Loss

Lips change with age, becoming thinner and less defined. Treatment can restore selected areas of fullness and support while respecting your existing features.

Fine lines around the mouth and downturned mouth corners require a separate assessment. Where appropriate, we discuss dermal filler treatments for these surrounding areas rather than treating every concern through additional lip volume.

Procedure Time
45–60 minutes, including a comprehensive consultation and treatment at London Lip Clinic, Harley Street, London.

No. of Treatments
Most patients achieve their desired results in 1 treatment. A review appointment after 2–4 weeks may be recommended, with additional filler only if required to achieve optimal balance and symmetry.

Results Last
Typically 6–12 months, depending on the type of hyaluronic acid filler used, your metabolism, lifestyle and the area treated. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve beautiful, natural-looking results.

From £350

Before & After Results

Why Choose London Lip Clinic for Your Lip Filler Treatment?

Why Choose London Lip Clinic for Lip Fillers?

At our clinic, every treatment is performed by a qualified medical professional using premium dermal fillers and advanced techniques such as the cannula method, designed to reduce bruising and improve comfort.

Treatment with Rupesh Shah

Your lip injections in London are performed by Rupesh Shah, a pharmacist and independent prescriber with additional training in aesthetic treatments.

You can meet Rupesh Shah and read about his professional background, training and approach to facial assessment.

An Approach Based on Facial Proportions

Treatment planning considers your lips as part of the whole face. The aim is to improve the features you identify while maintaining proportion and avoiding unnecessary volume.

Rupesh explains when a smaller change, staged treatment, or an alternative approach better fits your concerns.

Individual Product and Technique Selection

The filler and injection approach are selected for your anatomy and treatment goals. We explain how the proposed plan addresses fullness, definition or support before proceeding.

Clear Guidance Before and After Treatment

Your consultation covers suitability, costs and risks. After treatment, you receive guidance on recovery and how to contact the clinic with concerns.

How Much Lip Filler Do You Need?

The right amount of filler depends on your lip anatomy, existing filler and treatment goals. Quantity alone does not determine whether a result looks subtle or pronounced.

0.5 ml Lip Filler

A smaller quantity supports modest changes to selected areas, such as definition or limited volume enhancement.

It is an option for suitable patients seeking a restrained change, but it is not automatically the correct starting amount for everyone.

1 ml Lip Filler

One millilitre provides more product to distribute across the agreed treatment areas. It supports treatment plans involving fullness, shape and proportion.

The visible effect differs between patients because the same quantity is distributed within different lip shapes and tissue volumes.

Staged Treatment and Larger Treatment Plans

Further enhancement should follow assessment of the settled result. Existing swelling and remaining filler need to be considered before additional product is placed.

A larger treatment plan also distinguishes filler within the lips from treatment around the mouth. A listed quantity does not mean that the entire amount should be injected into the lips during one appointment.

Rupesh explains the proposed quantity and placement before treatment begins.

Make the most of your appointment

Patient consultation at London Lip Clinic

Your appointment begins with a discussion of the changes you want and an assessment of your lips and facial proportions.

Rupesh reviews your medical history, allergies, medicines, previous aesthetic treatments and any history of cold sores. Tell us about previous filler, including the product and treatment date where known.

We explain the proposed treatment, alternatives, limitations, risks and costs before you decide whether to proceed. An active cold sore or infection requires treatment to be postponed.

Where possible, avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment and refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E and ginkgo biloba unless prescribed by your doctor.

Product selection considers the support, flexibility and texture needed for your treatment.

Rupesh uses cannula and needle techniques according to the area and intended placement. A cannula allows filler to be distributed through fewer entry points in suitable treatment plans. Both techniques carry risks and require careful anatomical assessment.

Anaesthetic options include topical numbing and a dental block. We explain the proposed approach before treatment so you know what to expect.

The lips are cleansed, the treatment areas are agreed, and filler is placed in controlled amounts.

Throughout the procedure, Rupesh checks placement and proportion. You receive aftercare instructions before leaving the clinic.

Once swelling has settled, a review establishes whether further refinement is appropriate. Additional filler is considered according to the result, rather than added automatically.

Swelling, tenderness and bruising are common following lip injections. Your lips initially appear fuller than the settled result, and early swelling creates temporary differences in shape.

These reactions generally improve over the following days. Allow approximately two weeks before judging the outcome, with further assessment if swelling or other concerns persist.

Caring for Your Lips

Follow the individual aftercare instructions provided by Rupesh.

For the initial recovery period:

Avoid unnecessary pressure, rubbing or manipulation of the lips.
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and excessive heat for the advised period.
Use a cool compress as instructed, without applying ice directly to the skin.
Follow the clinic’s guidance on lipstick and other lip products.
Do not massage the area unless your practitioner specifically instructs you to do so.

Contact the clinic if you are concerned about your recovery rather than attempting to correct lumps or unevenness yourself.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

Lip filler results typically last between 6 and 12 months. Duration depends on the product, amount placed and individual response.

Hyaluronic acid filler gradually breaks down, but visible changes do not provide an exact measure of how much product remains.

Maintenance treatment follows assessment of your lips and remaining filler. There is no need to add more product simply because a fixed interval has passed.

Lip Filler Risks and When to Contact the Clinic

All injectable treatments carry risks. Careful assessment, appropriate products and injection technique reduce risk but do not eliminate it.

Common Reactions

Expected reactions include swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary redness. Early swelling affects the appearance of symmetry and fullness.

Complications Requiring Assessment

Persistent lumps, prolonged swelling, infection, filler migration and unwanted asymmetry require professional assessment.

A rare but serious complication is vascular occlusion, where filler blocks blood flow. This requires urgent treatment to protect the affected tissue.

When to Seek Urgent Help

Contact the clinic immediately for severe or increasing pain, unusual pale or dusky skin, or a spreading mottled appearance. Do not wait for a routine review.

For unwanted or previously placed hyaluronic acid filler, lip filler dissolving is considered after assessment. Hyaluronidase treatment has its own risks, including allergic reactions, and is not a routine substitute for careful treatment planning.

Lip Filler FAQs

Can I Have Treatment If I Already Have Lip Filler?

Existing filler needs to be assessed before more product is added. Tell us when you were treated, which product was used and whether you experienced any complications.

The assessment establishes whether further filler, a period of observation or another approach is appropriate.

What If I Do Not Know Which Filler Was Used Previously?

Contact your previous clinic for the product name, quantity and treatment date.

Bring any available records to your consultation. If the product remains unknown, Rupesh explains the limitations this creates for further treatment planning.

Can I Have Lip Fillers If I Get Cold Sores?

Tell us about your history of cold sores before treatment. Lip injections can trigger an outbreak in susceptible patients, so preventative treatment requires consideration.

An active cold sore means your appointment should be postponed until it has healed.

What Happens If I Decide Against Treatment After My Consultation?

You are free to decide against treatment. A consultation gives you information and recommendations without an obligation to proceed.

Ask the clinic to explain its current consultation, deposit and cancellation terms when booking.

Can Lip Filler Change How My Lips Look When I Smile?

Filler changes volume and support, which affects appearance both at rest and during expression.

Your assessment includes lip movement. Concerns driven mainly by muscle activity require a different approach, and filler does not correct every cause of a disappearing upper lip or uneven smile.

Will My Lips Feel Hard After Lip Fillers?

Your lips can feel firmer or tender during the initial recovery period because of swelling. As this settles, the feel of your lips should become more comfortable. Persistent hardness, painful lumps, or worsening tenderness require assessment by Rupesh rather than self-massage.

Can I Have Lip Fillers During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?

Elective lip filler treatment should be postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding because safety has not been established. Tell Rupesh if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding so this can be considered when discussing treatment.

Can I Bring a Photograph of the Lip Shape I Like?

Yes. Reference photographs help explain the fullness, definition or shape you prefer. Rupesh uses them to understand your goals, then assesses what suits your own anatomy. Treatment is planned around your features rather than promising to recreate another person’s lips.

Can I Return to Work After Lip Filler Treatment?

Many patients return to desk work after treatment, but swelling, bruising and tenderness can be visible. Allow additional time if your work involves strenuous activity or if you want the initial swelling to settle before meetings. Follow the individual aftercare guidance provided by the clinic.

Can I Have a Facial or Lip Blush Around the Same Time as Lip Fillers?

Discuss other planned treatments before booking. Facials involving pressure around the mouth and lip blush procedures need to be scheduled around recovery. Tell Rupesh what treatment you are having and when, so he can advise on the appropriate order and interval.
