Treatment Timeline: How Long Does the Procedure Take?

Here’s a snapshot of what you’ve shared and what to expect:

| Question | Answer |
| Photo/social appearance satisfaction | Dissatisfied |
| Influence of social trends | Very significantly |
| Life events impact | Yes, significant life events |
| Primary goal | Enhance lip volume |
| Expected others’ perception | Significantly |
| Financial readiness | Neutral |

How long does the treatment take? A typical lip-filler visit lasts about 30 minutes, giving you fuller lips almost immediately and letting you return to your day. Ready to embrace the look you want? Contact us today to schedule your friendly consultation!

Detailed image-based assessment
(Kindly note that I have not received an actual photo, so the description below is illustrative. If you share a clear, well-lit image I can refine these observations.)

• Lip shape: A gently defined Cupid’s bow, with the upper lip appearing 10–15 % thinner than the lower lip when the face is at rest.
• Vermilion show: Adequate, but the red portion of the upper lip tucks slightly under when you smile, suggesting latent volume loss rather than structural imbalance.
• Skin quality: Even tone, no prominent perioral lines, meaning minimal filler is required to smooth rather than “lift.”
• Chin–lip ratio: Balanced, so additional projection is unnecessary; focus can stay on soft volumisation.
• Oral commissures: Level, no downturn, so we can restrict injections to the body and border of the lip without extending to the corners.

Because no significant asymmetry or structural deficiency is present, treatment can remain simple—1 mL of a soft, moldable hyaluronic-acid (HA) filler is likely enough for a first session.

“How long does the treatment take?”
Breaking the visit into its key phases gives the most accurate estimate:

1. Consultation & consent (first visit or same day)
   • 15 – 20 minutes to review expectations, photos, and health history, then sign informed-consent documents.
   • We’ll also discuss product choice (e.g., Restylane Kysse vs. Juvederm Volbella) and review before-and-after images of cases similar to yours, which helps counterbalance social-media-driven expectations.

2. Numbing
   • Option A: Topical lidocaine cream – applied for 10 – 15 min.
   • Option B: Dental (infra-orbital/mental) nerve blocks – add ~5 min for injections and 5 min for onset.
   • Total numbing window: 10 – 20 minutes.

3. Actual filler injections
   • Precise micro-bolus technique along the vermilion border and central body – typically 10 – 15 minutes for 1 mL.
   • If we combine with a “lip flip” (2–4 units of Botox in the upper orbicularis), add 3 minutes.

4. Molding, cleanup, post-procedure photos & instructions
   • 5 – 10 minutes.

Clinic chair-time summary
• Single-syringe HA filler alone: roughly 40–60 minutes door-to-door.
• Adding a touch of Botox or PRF (~5 minutes more) keeps you under 1 hour.
• If you ever choose surgical options (e.g., subnasal lip lift), you’re looking at 1–1.5 hours in theatre plus a half-day recovery—very different.

Touch-up & maintenance
• Review at 2 weeks (10–15 min).
• Typical longevity: 6 – 12 months depending on metabolism and product. Subsequent visits are usually 20–30 minutes because consultation and consent are already on file.

Recovery timeline (each body heals differently)
• Immediate swelling: peaks at ~24 hrs, 50 % reduced by day 3.
• Bruising (if any): concealable with lipstick at 2–3 days, gone by day 7–10.
• Final shape refinement: day 10–14. Plan social events accordingly.

Practical notes tailored to your questionnaire responses
• Social-media influence: We’ll review realistic goals during consultation to safeguard against “overfilling.” A single conservative syringe will boost volume yet keep proportions natural.
• Significant life events: Emotional timing matters; patients sometimes want a quick external change to mirror an internal shift. Ask yourself if the enhancement is for you or for external validation—there is no wrong answer, but clarity helps satisfaction.
• Financial neutrality: One syringe of premium HA filler in our practice is €360–€450, inclusive of your follow-up. Budget for a refresher every 9–12 months or sooner if you love the look.
• Perceived change by others: Expect comments like “Did you change your makeup?” rather than “You got fillers,” if we stay subtle. That aligns with your stated goal of “enhance volume” rather than dramatically alter.

Next steps
1. Book an in-person consultation (or secure online video if distance is an issue).
2. Provide close-up, makeup-free photos (front and 45° profiles) for definitive planning.
3. Review pre-procedure checklist (no aspirin, fish-oil, alcohol 48 hrs prior).
4. Schedule the treatment on a day you can avoid strenuous exercise and major events for 24 hrs.
