What to Expect in Your First Lip Filler Appointment

As a medical professional at It’s Me & You Clinic, I understand that the decision to have lip fillers is a personal and sometimes nerve-wracking one. Many patients feel a mix of excitement and anxiety when attending their first appointment. Knowing what to expect can make all the difference. That’s why I’m here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring you feel confident and well-informed throughout the process. Your first lip filler appointment is an opportunity for us to discuss your goals, answer your questions, and create a customised plan tailored to you. If you’re ready to take the first step, book your consultation with me, Dr. Laura Geige, at It’s Me & You Clinic.

The Initial Consultation: Understanding Your Goals

The first part of your lip filler appointment is the consultation. This is your chance to sit down with me and talk about what you hope to achieve. Do you want more volume, better symmetry, or a subtle enhancement? These are just a few of the questions we’ll explore. During this time, I’ll also review your medical history to ensure that the treatment is safe for you. We’ll discuss any allergies, previous cosmetic treatments, or health conditions that might influence the procedure.

At It’s Me & You Clinic, I prioritise creating a relaxed and welcoming environment where you can express your concerns without hesitation. If you have specific ideas or images of the look you’re aiming for, feel free to bring them along. Together, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that aligns with your expectations.

Explaining the Procedure and Setting Realistic Expectations

One of my main goals during your first appointment is to ensure you have a clear understanding of the procedure. I’ll explain how hyaluronic acid fillers work, the areas of the lips that can be treated, and the kind of results you can expect. It’s essential to set realistic expectations, as lip fillers are designed to enhance your natural beauty, not completely change your appearance.

We’ll also discuss the longevity of the fillers and what kind of maintenance may be required to keep your lips looking their best. This is an excellent time to ask questions, so don’t hold back! Whether it’s about the process, aftercare, or even potential side effects, I’m here to provide honest and thorough answers.

Preparing for the Treatment: What You Need to Know

Before we proceed with the treatment, I’ll give you some preparation guidelines to follow. For instance, avoiding alcohol, aspirin, or other blood-thinning medications a few days before your appointment can help minimise bruising. I’ll also advise you on what to do if you’re feeling unwell on the day of your appointment, as it’s essential to be in good health for the procedure.

Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. At It’s Me & You Clinic, I believe that taking the time to prepare both mentally and physically is just as important as the treatment itself. If you have any concerns or need more information about preparing for your first appointment, don’t hesitate to book a consultation with me at It’s Me & You Clinic.

The Treatment: A Step-by-Step Process

Once we’ve finalised your treatment plan, it’s time for the procedure. I’ll start by cleansing the treatment area to ensure it’s free from makeup or oils. A topical numbing cream is usually applied to minimise discomfort, making the process as comfortable as possible. The fillers are then injected using a fine needle or cannula, depending on the technique best suited for your desired results.

Throughout the procedure, I’ll keep you informed of what I’m doing and check in to ensure you’re feeling comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight pinch or pressure, and the process typically takes about 20-30 minutes. At It’s Me & You Clinic, I strive to create a calm and reassuring environment so that you feel at ease throughout the treatment. To experience this personalised care, book your appointment with me, Dr. Laura Geige, at It’s Me & You Clinic.

Post-Treatment: What Happens Next?

After the treatment, I’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. You might experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness, which is completely normal and usually subsides within a few days. Avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours can help optimise your results.

At It’s Me & You Clinic, I encourage patients to contact me if they have any concerns or questions after their treatment. Follow-up care is an essential part of the process, and I’m always here to provide guidance and support. If you’d like to learn more about aftercare or schedule a follow-up, book your appointment today at It’s Me & You Clinic.
