Lip fillers are a non-surgical procedure available in Bath that can add volume to the lips, creating a fuller look that is natural and youthful.

The fillers are a form of dermal filler, with gel injected to counteract the impact of depleted collagen and elastin.

The results can be profound and last for close to two years.

They are a safe treatment, the hyaluronic gel is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. However, as mentioned previously, that is not to say there is not value to choosing an experienced practitioner

Lip fillers are available in Bath through Elena Prousskaia, a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon who brings that level of expertise to the under-regulated world of minimally invasive procedures.

What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are an injection that serve to create volume and the enhanced appearance as desired by the client.

The nature of the gels has changed over time and some still use relatively outdated injectables.

However, the leading choice is to use injectables that include hyaluronic acid, this a substance that occurs naturally. The gel can be injected in different thicknesses and quantities, this to fine-tune the precise results.

The fillers are absorbed into the skin, this can be into deep layers depending on the practitioner’s knowledge of facial anatomy. The greater the knowledge, the more profound the results and the longer they will last.

The dermal fillers can also be used on many other areas of the face – indeed some chose to have a series of injections, the cheekbones, jawline and forehead for instance – to create what can be known as a non-surgical facelift.

The Impact of Lip Fillers

Lip fillers enhance appearance in a way that can be carefully controlled and predicted.

An experienced practitioner can confidently state what can be achieved and work with the client to create results that give them the fuller lips they desire.

Key to the impact is the skill of the surgeon or practitioner. It is worth noting that lip fillers can be injected by a wide range of people – this including everything from leading surgeons, to cosmetic doctors down to the local hairdressing salon.

Only when an expert is used can the impact be predicted – otherwise it is likely that too little filler will be used, leading to results barely worth the money, or too much leading to results that look anything but natural.

To achieve desired results the placement of the injections has to be accurate, so too the density and quantity of the gel.

The old adage is true that you get what you pay for.

Key information about lip fillers

The following are some key points relating to dermal fillers.

  • They are a safe treatment, the hyaluronic gel is a substance that occurs naturally in the body. However, as mentioned previously, that is not to say there is not value to choosing an experienced practitioner
  • You should always have a consultation first. This is your chance to discuss the results you would like to achieve and to ensure that the practitioner inspires confidence
  • The results typically last for between nine and 18 months. To maintain results beyond this you will need follow-up injections of fillers
  • There is no recovery time. Side effects are limited to mild swelling and some mild pain, both of these will typically pass inside 48 hours. Post injections, you can go about your daily routine
  • The results can have more than physical benefits – if someone’s lips are a cause for concern then addressing this can boost confidence and self-esteem and so benefits extend into all areas of life.
  • At worst, the injections cause mild pain – a local anaesthetic will be used to numb the area.
  • The cost will vary depending on the quantity of filler required – in our case, Elena would provide a full quote at consultation for you to take away and consider

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Recovery Time for Breast Augmentation?

Normally, after a one-night stay, you would go home once the drains are removed. You may feel tightness of your breasts after this surgery. This is normal and it will improve gradually. You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 4-6 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 8-12 months following the surgery. The visibility of your scars will depend on the technique used and on the biological response of your body to surgery and healing. Generally the scars after this type of surgery are almost invisible by the end of the year. Patients can benefit from taking four weeks off work, and after you have seen Ms Prousskaia for your four weeks follow up you can discuss beginning a gym routine focused on lower body strength.

What Is The Aftercare for Breast Augmentation?

The Elena Prousskaia Clinic prides itself on the quality of its aftercare so we’ll make absolutely sure you know what to expect, and how much rest is needed. We’ll give you specific instructions that may include how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Elena.

Please scroll down for more information on pricing.

Are There Risks With The Procedure?

While complications with surgery are infrequent, no surgical procedure is without risks. Among the possible complications are scars, infection, haematoma, implant displacement, breast asymmetry and implant rupture. Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.

How Long Does A Breast Augmentation Surgery Take?

Generally speaking this surgery takes around 60-90 minutes, although this varies depending on the nature of the procedure.

Is It Painful To get Breast Implants?

After surgery it is normal to experience some discomfort, the level of which varies widely amongst patients. There is rarely prolonged pain unless there is a complication and in all cases you will be prescribed pain medication.

What Type Of Implants Are Used?

The shape of implants can be round or anatomical (teardrop). Both can provide an excellent result. The outer shell and the filling may vary depending on the manufacturer. Miss Prousskaia has never used PIP implants in her practice and she will offer you high quality implants from the best manufacturers. You will discuss with Miss Prousskaia which specific shape and size of implant would give you the optimal result. You should know that in the European Union (EU) 95% of implants used for breast augmentation are made of silicone gel and only 5% contains other type of fillings such as saline. Mentor Silicone Gel-Filled Breast Implants are devices with shells constructed from silicone elastomer. The shell is filled with MemoryGel®, Mentor’s proprietary formulation of silicone gel.

What Would My Expected Results Be?

Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results.

WHAT DO ELENA'S PATIENTS SAY...

Elena was recommended to me and as soon as I met her I felt entirely comfortable. Her explanations made sense in terms of expectations. Having made the big decision I did feel nervous but had absolute trust and confidence in Elena. I knew I was in the best hands. Elena's team is so supportive, my questions were answered with patience and understanding. My care at the McIndoe Centre was excellent. I am five weeks post op for abdominoplasty and liposuction and last week. Quite amazing to see the before and after pictures! I am so pleased that I was fortunate enough to meet Elena and have no hesitation in recommending her.

SM – Abdominoplasty & Liposuction

I have been both physically and mentally uncomfortable in my body since I was 12. I was born with ‘breast mutation’ and I first had surgery to correct this through the NHS at 16 years old. The surgery I have had with Elena, 17 years later, has removed the NHS implants, one of which had ruptured, and completely altered the shape of my chest. By doing this she has made me look and feel like a woman for the first time in my life. She is at all times quietly kind and fiercely adept. A true artist. She has surrounded herself with the most wonderful team and I cannot thank them all enough for the new lease of life that I have been given.

EG – Removal & Replacement of Implants

I have been self conscious for the whole of my adult life and I cannot express how much this surgery  has changed things for me. Both mentally and physically. I highly recommend Elena. She supported me throughout my journey from start to finish. Elena is very particular which for me is really important. Elena really took care of me from initial consultation right through to surgery and aftercare.My scaring is minimal and I am absolutely over the moon with my results. Thank you Elena!

JB – Breast Reduction

Elena is an OUTSTANDING surgeon. I had PIP implants and was looking to have them changed. I knew Elena was the surgeon to help, she put me at ease and explained my options. The lovely ladies in her office were helpful, I wanted to get sorted asap, when an alternative date was available contacted me straight away. I received outstanding care from start to finish from Elena, her team and the hospital. The aftercare is amazing, nothing is too much trouble, can call any time. I was so relaxed, I knew I was in great hands. The final results are fantastic. Elena has worked magic and I couldn’t be happier. I’m so glad I found her. I can’t thank her and her team enough.

LMS – implant Removal & Replacement

Had surgery with Elena in September, I was extremely anxious about the whole thing, but Elena and her whole team, from admin to the hospital staff were amazing with me and reassured me throughout my journey. I can not recommend Elena enough, and she has changed my life for the better! Already saving for my next operation with her!
