Lip augmentation at Spire Nottingham Hospital

The natural aging process causes our lips to get thinner and loose definition. This can be a particularly be a problem for our upper lip. Lip enhancement is chosen by women of all ages who either have naturally thin lips or whose lips have lost their volume over time.

Lip enhancement is achieved by injecting HA filler into the lip margin (vermillion border) and into the body of the lip until the desired shape and volume is achieved.

Different HA fillers have varying lifespans ranging from 4 to 18 months. The different fillers and your options will be discussed during your initial consultation with one of our cosmetic nurses.

All dermal fillers we use come with the local anaesthetic, Lidocaine, included for a more comfortable treatment experience. Topical anaesthetic is also used to aid comfort of the procedure.

Our patients are at the heart of what we do and we want you to be in control of your care.

All of our cosmetic nurses and cosmetic surgeons are of the highest standard and benefit from working in our modern, well equipped hospitals.

All our cosmetic nurses and cosmetic surgeons are on the specialist register of the General Medical Council (GMC), and many are also members of the UK’s leading cosmetic and plastic surgery associations.

You will have a formal consultation with a healthcare professional. During this time you will be able to explain your medical history, symptoms and raise any concerns that you might have.

We will also discuss with you whether any further diagnostic tests, such as scans or blood tests, are needed. Any additional costs will be discussed before further tests are carried out.

We've tried to make your experience with us as easy and relaxed as possible.
