Lip Fillers

Lip fillers are a popular treatment also known as lip injections, which are used to add volume, resulting in fuller and more desirable lips. The injectable filler can be used to plump up the mouth and rejuvenate ageing lips by minimising fine lines and wrinkles.

Lip fillers add volume to the mouth, for fuller lips and a reduction in fine lines

Lip augmentation with fillers offer natural results that can last between 6 - 12 months, creating a more pleasing smile. Lip injectables plump up the mouth and can also rejuvenate ageing lips by minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

At Bendigo Plastic Surgery all lip filler treatments are performed using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler products. HA is a complex sugar that is naturally present within our skin. We only use the most reputable and scientifically backed products for optimal safety and results.
