What to Expect During Your Lip Filler Appointment
Personalised Assessment
Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation to assess your lip area and goals. This ensures the enhancement complements your natural features and maintains harmony between the upper and lower lip.
Comfort Measures
To ensure you are comfortable during the procedure, a numbing cream is applied before the injectable product. In some cases, a local anesthetic or nerve block may be used. Medical-grade gas is available for patients experiencing anxiety.
The Lip Procedure
Small amounts of dermal filler is precisely injected into targeted areas to shape and add volume. The technique focuses on subtle definition while maintaining the natural movement and expression of the lip area.
Results
Results are typically noticeable immediately, with a more refined appearance once any swelling settles over the following days.
Aftercare
You’ll receive tailored post-treatment instructions and access to 24-hour on-call support should any emergency concerns arise.
Lip Ice Packs are also available to purchase after your appointment.

See All Before & AfterHow long does dermal filler last?
The longevity of lip filler varies depending on the type of product used and the individual. As the product is made from a naturally occurring substance, your body gradually metabolises it over time. Those with a faster metabolism may notice the filler wear off sooner.
As a general guide, 1ml of lip filler may last anywhere from 3-12 months, with some individuals reporting even longer.
Are Cosmetic Injections Painful?
Some discomfort is expected with any injectable treatment, but most individuals find it manageable.
At Absolute Cosmetic, we offer numbing cream and local anesthetics for all lip filler procedures. For those feeling particularly anxious, medical-grade gas can be provided.
What Brand of Dermal Lip Filler Do We Use?
We offer a wide range of dermal fillers suitable for lips, and we discuss product selection with patients at a consultation, meaning you do not need to decide on a product before your appointment. If you would like more information on dermal lip fillers or other dermal fillers, please email or call us on 9389 9099.

0.5ml vs 1ml Lip Filler: What’s the Difference?
Choosing between 0.5ml or 1ml of lip filler depends on your natural lip shape, personal goals, and whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change.
During your consultation, your cosmetic injector will discuss your preferences and provide guidance on the most appropriate volume for your desired outcome.
Why Is Capillary Refill Time Important in Lip Filler Treatments?
Capillary refill time helps assess blood flow and tissue health. A normal refill (under 2 seconds) is essential when planning and monitoring dermal lip filler injections to reduce the risk of vascular complications.

Lip fillers are not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections near the injection site, or have known allergies to filler ingredients. A consultation will help determine if treatment is appropriate for you.
To help minimise the chance of bruising, avoid alcohol, aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and certain supplements (like fish oil or vitamin E) for at least 24–48 hours before treatment, unless otherwise advised by your practitioner.
It’s best to avoid applying makeup to the treated area for at least 12 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
It is generally recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot environments for 24 hours following treatment to help reduce swelling and bruising.
Yes, lip fillers are temporary. Maintenance is typically recommended every 6–12 months depending on the product used and how your body metabolises the filler.
Your injector will help guide you based on your natural lip shape, how subtle or noticeable you’d like the change to be, and whether it’s your first time receiving filler.
Yes, most lip fillers are made from a substance that can be dissolved with an enzyme if required. This option is available in the case of complications or if the result does not meet expectations.
It is generally advised to wait at least 2–4 weeks before having additional treatment to allow swelling to subside and results to settle.
You can eat and drink after treatment, but it’s best to avoid extremely hot or spicy foods for a few hours, especially if you’ve had a numbing agent applied.
There is no set age that is considered ideal. Suitability depends on factors such as anatomy, personal goals, and medical history. At Absolute Cosmetic, patients must be 18 years or older. A consultation is required to assess whether treatment is appropriate for you.
There are no strict guidelines against flying after fillers, but it’s often recommended to wait at least 24–48 hours due to pressure changes and the need to monitor for early reactions.
Other Lip Treatment Options
While lip filler is a popular choice, there are several non-surgical and surgical alternatives that may be suitable depending on your goals. Options include lip lift surgery, cheek fillers, wrinkle relaxers, and other dermal filler treatments.
