Lip Filler

Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent; the body absorbs them over time. How long depends on the product, the area and your metabolism. When a repeat might be needed is discussed at follow-up.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. That makes the treatment reversible, which is a meaningful safety advantage over permanent fillers.

Lips are among the areas most prone to swelling; some in the first days is expected and usually settles quickly. Any bruising changes colour as it fades. The result should be judged once the swelling has fully resolved, not in the first days.

Naturalness depends far more on placement than on volume. Treatment is planned around your own lip structure and its relationship to your teeth and chin. If a volume is requested that does not suit that structure, you will be told plainly why it is not appropriate.

For the first days, avoid very hot environments, saunas and steam rooms, intense exercise, and pressure on the area. Tell us in advance if you have a history of cold sores.

In people prone to them, an injection can trigger one. Tell us your history; if your doctor thinks it necessary, preventive treatment is planned before the procedure.

Medicines and supplements that thin the blood — aspirin, ibuprofen-type painkillers, vitamin E, omega-3 — make bruising more likely. Tell us before your appointment if you take any; whether and when to pause them is your doctor's decision. Never stop a prescribed medicine on your own. If you have a history of cold sores, say so: an injection can trigger one.

Very fine needles are used, and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand where it helps. Most people describe a mild sting. Pain thresholds differ, so if you are uncomfortable during the procedure just say so — it can be paused and more can be done.

Aesthetic injections are not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is not enough safety data for these periods, so they are avoided. Tell us beforehand if you are or might be pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

The assessment, the planning and the injection are all carried out by Dr. Burak Gümüşçü. What will be done, why, and what the alternatives are is explained before anything begins.

Only licensed, single-use, sterile products. If you would like to know the name and contents of the product being used, that is shared at the consultation, and the packaging is opened in front of you.

Türkiye's health advertising rules prohibit clinics from publishing prices or promotional offers. Beyond that, the amount used and the number of sessions vary from person to person, so a single figure would be misleading. Your own figure is given directly after the consultation.

Some treatments can be planned together in one session; others need to be spaced apart. That is decided after the face is assessed as a whole — the aim is to get the order right, not to add procedures.
