What to Expect During Treatment

Before Your Appointment

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen)
  • No alcohol 24 hours prior
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips
  • Bring photos of desired results

During the Procedure

  • Topical numbing cream applied
  • Precise injection technique using fine cannulas or needles
  • Real-time assessment and adjustment
  • Treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes

Immediate Aftercare

  • Minor swelling and tenderness normal
  • Ice packs to reduce swelling
  • Avoid touching or pressing lips
  • Stay hydrated and avoid extreme temperatures

Recovery Timeline

During the first 24 hours after your lip filler correction, you may experience the peak swelling period. It’s important to apply ice intermittently to reduce swelling and sleep with your head elevated to minimize discomfort. Avoid any strenuous exercise during this initial phase to support optimal healing.

Between days 2 and 7, swelling will gradually reduce, and some bruising may appear but should fade over time. During this period, maintain a gentle lip care routine and avoid applying makeup directly on your lips to prevent irritation.

By weeks 2 to 4, the final results of the procedure become visible as any residual swelling resolves. You can generally resume your normal activities, and a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to ensure your lips have healed properly and to address any concerns.

What You Can Achieve

With our lip filler correction treatment, you can expect natural-looking lip proportions that enhance your facial harmony. The procedure improves symmetry and creates smoother texture and contours, giving your lips a balanced and refined appearance. Many patients also report a significant boost in confidence following treatment. Additionally, correcting existing filler lays a better foundation for any future aesthetic treatments you may consider.

Key benefits include:

  • Natural-looking lip proportions
  • Improved symmetry
  • Smoother texture and contours
  • Enhanced confidence
  • Better foundation for future treatments

Realistic Timeline

Results from the treatment are visible immediately, although some initial swelling may be present. By around 2 weeks, approximately 80% of the final result becomes apparent, allowing you to see significant improvement. The final results fully settle within 4 weeks, after which your lips will look natural and balanced. Typically, results last between 12 to 18 months, depending on individual factors and lifestyle.

Safety & Risks

Our Safety Standards ensure your treatment is carried out by fully qualified and experienced practitioners using only medical-grade products in a sterile environment. We provide comprehensive aftercare support and have emergency protocols in place for your peace of mind.

Potential Risks (rare but possible) include:

  • Temporary swelling and bruising
  • Infection (extremely rare with proper aftercare)
  • Asymmetry requiring a touch-up
  • Allergic reaction
  • Vascular complications (very rare with correct technique)

Before & After

We’ve helped thousands of patients achieve smoother, clearer skin. See some of our recent acne treatment results below.

Some common questions we get asked about lip filler correction

Q: How long should I wait between correction treatments?

Typically 4-6 weeks between dissolution and new filler, 2-4 weeks between corrective sessions.

Q: Will correction be more painful than original treatment?

Similar discomfort levels. We use effective numbing and gentle techniques.

Q: Can all types of filler be corrected?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved. Permanent fillers require different approaches.

Q: How many sessions will I need?

Most corrections require 1-2 sessions, complex cases may need more.

Q: Will my lips return to their original state?

Yes, if we dissolve all filler and don’t add new product.

Q: Can I have lip filler again after correction?

Absolutely, once healing is complete and you’re ready.

Years of severe acne left marks on my cheeks. After three laser sessions with Dr Zokaie, I can see noticeable improvement. Rasa made each session comfortable and gave detailed aftercare advice. I feel like my confidence has returned and I can finally enjoy seeing my face without makeup.

I struggled with adult acne for years and tried so many treatments without success. At Linia Skin, Dr Zokaie personalised a Roaccutane plan for me. Monthly check-ins, blood tests, and advice from Rasa made me feel safe and supported. Within a few months, my skin is clear, and I finally feel confident in my own skin🙏

i booked a mole check at Linia Skin after putting it off for months. The appointment was efficient, Dr Zokaie was thorough, and Rasa ensured I was comfortable. The mole was examined and removed quickly, leaving a barely visible scar. I left feeling reassured and cared for"

I found Linia skin clinic during the pandemic and they have been incredible offering virtual consultations, support and finally the right prescription that has actually cleared up my acne! I can’t recommend Dr Zokaie enough- he is kind, understanding and makes sure you’re on the right track with everything. His knowledge on skin has taught me a lot and I’m so glad to have him as my dermatologist!
