Perioral line fillers: consultation guide
Lines around the lips are a common cosmetic concern. Filler is one possible option for a suitable person, but this page does not promise a particular treatment or result. An individual consultation should cover alternatives, material risks and realistic limits.
What treatment planning should establish.
These four points support treatment planning. The detailed guide below covers this treatment.

Considering filler for lines around the lips

Fine vertical lines can appear around the mouth. Their appearance and causes vary, so a web page cannot determine whether a filler procedure is suitable for you.
A clinician can review your goals, skin, medical history, previous procedures and preferences. Filler may not be appropriate, and an alternative approach, waiting or no treatment may be the better choice.
Injectable procedures can cause adverse effects, including uncommon serious complications. The proposed product, technique, alternatives, aftercare and response plan should be explained before consent. No particular degree of improvement or duration can be guaranteed.
Before, during and after your treatment.
Your exact experience and recovery are individual. Your clinician will explain what applies to you.
01 · Before What Should You Expect Before The Procedure?
At Dr Sknn, prior to any filler procedure, Dr Shaffu performs a full medical history. Dr Shaffu then will perform a full aesthetic consultation looking at your face, skin and evaluate which signs of ageing have occurred. During the consultation there will be an opportunity to discuss any concerns, expectations, results or questions you may have. Prior to treatment any risks associated with the treatment are discussed ensuring you fully understand them. As each patient is different and no one size fits all approach is taken, Dr Shaffu then formulates a couture plan specifically tailored to your ageing concerns and signs that have developed. The expert technique is then performed to produce long lasting natural results in the least painful manner.
02 · During Are Dermal Filler Painful?
Prior to performing any dermal fillers, if suitable, an anaesthetic cream is applied 30 minutes prior to the procedure to minimise discomfort additionally, at Dr Sknn, we use a fine needle in addition to fillers premixed with anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort.
03 · After What Should I Avoid After Dermal Fillers?
Some of the aftercare instructions include: Avoid touching and rubbing and make-up to the treated areas for 4 hours Avoid extreme heat/cold for up to 1 week post treatment Please note post your procedure you will be provided with a complete list of aftercare instructions.
