Many individuals turn to cosmetic procedures to achieve their desired look in a world where plump, luscious lips can seem all the rage. The most popular method is lip filler injections, which can provide instant volume and definition. However, only some are after a dramatic transformation, and many prefer a more natural-looking enhancement. Subtle lip filler can be the perfect solution for those who want to improve their lips without looking like they have had “work” done.
What is Subtle Lip Filler?
Subtle lip filler is an advanced lip filler procedure that involves injecting a small amount of hyaluronic acid-based filler into the lips to create a natural-looking, fuller appearance. Dr Bong’s unique injecting style focuses on sharpening up your lip border to create an elegant lip shape and contour. This treatment is ideal for those who want to enhance their lips without drastically changing their appearance. The goal is to create a subtle yet noticeable improvement in the size and shape of the lips while maintaining a balanced, harmonious look.
Benefits of Subtle Lip Filler
- Natural-looking results: One of the primary benefits of subtle lip filler is that it creates a more natural appearance, avoiding the overly plump look that can sometimes result from too much filler.
- Shape and contour: Dr Bong’s unique injecting style creates a sensuous and classy lip shape and contour with only subtle volume enhancement.
- Customisable: The amount of filler used can be tailored to each individual’s preferences and facial features, ensuring that the results align with the desired look.
- Minimally invasive: Unlike surgical lip augmentation, subtle lip filler involves a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that requires little to no downtime.
- Reversible: Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if the patient is unsatisfied with the results or wants to revert to their original lip shape.
- Temporary: As the body gradually metabolises the filler, the results typically last between 6 to 12 months, allowing patients to choose whether or not to maintain their enhanced lips long-term.
Procedure and Recovery
A subtle lip filler procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and should be performed by a qualified and experienced aesthetic clinician. Before the treatment, the medical professional will discuss the patient’s goals and expectations and assess their facial features to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
A topical numbing cream or local anaesthesia may be applied to minimise discomfort during the injections. However, Dr Kieren Bong is known for his gentle and almost pain-free procedures, so most clients do not request numbing cream. The filler is then carefully injected into strategic areas of the lips to achieve the desired shape and fullness.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites, which should subside within a few days. However, following the aftercare instructions are essential to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Cost and Considerations
The cost of subtle lip filler varies depending on factors such as the filler used, the provider’s experience and location, and the specific product chosen. Please see our filler and prices page for more details here.
