A dermatologist-led guide to lip filler – who it suits, where it is placed, what to expect, and how
Dr. Parth Thakkar plans natural results at Dermacode, Vesu, Surat.
Fuller lips do not have to mean obvious lips. The most sought-after lip filler results today are the ones
nobody can quite pinpoint: a softer shape, a cleaner border, better hydration and a little more volume, all
in proportion to your face. At Dermacode, Vesu, Surat, lip filler is planned and performed by Dr. Parth
Thakkar (MD Dermatology), with one goal: an enhancement that looks like you, only fresher.
What Is Lip Filler?
Lip filler is a non-surgical treatment in which a soft hyaluronic acid gel is placed in tiny amounts into the
lips. Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin already contains, which attracts and holds water. In the lips,
it can:
- Add subtle volume
- Improve shape and symmetry
- Define the lip border and cupid’s bow
- Add hydration and a smoother, plumper texture
- Soften fine vertical lines around the lips, in some cases
Because hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if needed, it is the most widely used type for lips.
Who Is Lip Filler Right For?
- Your lips feel thinner or flatter with age
- Your lips are uneven or asymmetrical and you would like them balanced
- You want a more defined outline or cupid’s bow
- You notice dryness or fine lines around the mouth
Where Is Lip Filler Placed?
Rather than simply adding volume, a careful lip treatment focuses on specific areas: the cupid’s bow, the
lip border, the body of the lips and the lip corners
The Lip Filler Procedure at Dermacode
- Consultation & facial analysis
Your goals, medical history and facial proportions are reviewed, and the plan is tailored to you. - Numbing
A topical numbing cream is applied so the treatment is comfortable. - Precise placement
Small amounts of filler are placed gradually, with the shape checked as the treatment progresses. - Review & aftercare
The result is checked for symmetry and you receive clear aftercare instructions. The session typically
takes around 20-30 minutes.
Results: How Soon, and How Long?
- Immediately: you will see a difference straight away, though swelling can make lips look fuller than the
final result - Swelling settles: over several days to around 2 weeks
- Duration: commonly 6 to 12 months, depending on the product, the amount used and your
metabolism. Lips move a lot, so filler can fade a little faster here than in some other areas
Many patients plan a gentle top-up once or twice a year to maintain their look
Is Lip Filler Safe?
When performed by a qualified dermatologist using a quality product and careful technique, lip filler is
generally well tolerated. Common, temporary effects include swelling and tenderness, bruising, and small
bumps at injection points that usually settle.
Less common risks, which a trained doctor knows how to prevent and manage, include asymmetry, lumps
that need correction, a cold sore flare-up in people prone to them, and, rarely, serious complications
involving blood vessels. This is why who treats you matters as much as what is used. Hyaluronic acid
filler can be dissolved with an enzyme if a correction is needed.
Lip filler is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or when there is an active infection or
cold sore. Tell your doctor about blood thinners, previous fillers and any history of cold sores.
Aftercare Tips
- Avoid heavy exercise, saunas and steam for 24-48 hours
- Skip alcohol for the first day, as it can increase bruising
- Avoid pressing, rubbing or massaging the lips
- Delay dental work for a couple of weeks, unless your doctor advises otherwise
- Use a gentle lip balm and drink plenty of water
