Lip Filler in Walthamstow: Cost, Results & Aftercare

What is lip filler?

Lip filler is a gel made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your body already makes. It’s injected into the lips to add volume, define the border, balance the top and bottom lip or smooth fine lines around the mouth. Because it’s hyaluronic acid, your body breaks it down gradually — and it can usually be dissolved if it ever needs to be.

A good result doesn’t look “done”. It looks like your lips on a good day: a bit fuller, a bit more defined, and in proportion with the rest of your face.

How much does lip filler cost in Walthamstow?

At Serra Aesthetics, 1ml of lip filler is £160. Across London you’ll see prices from under £100 to well over £300. Very cheap filler is worth questioning — the price should cover a proper consultation, a reputable product, and someone who’ll be there for you afterwards.

Is 1ml of lip filler a lot?

It sounds like a lot, but 1ml is about a fifth of a teaspoon. For most people it gives a noticeable but natural change. If you’re nervous, a smaller amount is possible — and if your lips are very thin to begin with, building up gradually over two appointments often looks better than doing everything at once.

What happens on the day

1. Consultation. We talk about what you’d like, look at your lips in relation to your whole face and go through a short medical questionnaire. You’ll need to be 18 or over and bring photo ID.
2. Numbing. Numbing cream goes on for around 15 minutes. Most fillers also contain a local anaesthetic.
3. Treatment. Filler is placed in small amounts, checking shape and symmetry as we go — usually around 45 minutes in total.
4. Aftercare. You’ll leave with written advice and can message Berna on WhatsApp with any questions.

Swelling and healing, day by day

• Day 1–2: swelling is at its peak. Lips can look bigger and slightly uneven — this is normal.
• Day 3–5: most swelling has gone down. Any small bruises start to fade.
• Around 2 weeks: the filler has settled and you’re seeing your real result.

Lip filler aftercare

• Avoid lipstick and lip products for the rest of the day.
• Skip alcohol, hot drinks through a straw, saunas and hard exercise for 24–48 hours.
• Sleep on your back for the first night if you can, and avoid pressing on your lips.
• Get in touch straight away if you notice severe pain, whitening or a dusky colour change — these need prompt attention.

How to choose a lip filler clinic

Whoever you go to, it’s worth checking that:

• you get a proper face-to-face consultation, not just a booking slot;
• they ask about your medical history and check your age;
• they’re happy to say no if filler isn’t right for you;
• you know exactly how to reach them after your appointment.
