Lip Fillers
Natural, Balanced Lip Enhancement in Singapore

Lip fillers can do more than simply “make lips bigger”. 

When planned well, they refine shape, restore youthful volume, soften fine lines and improve lip hydration — while still looking like you.  At The Hera Clinic, our goal is subtle, proportional enhancement, not an overfilled or artificial result.

 

Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA)–based gels that are carefully injected to:

 

        • Plump naturally thin lips
        • Soften vertical lip lines and wrinkles around the mouth
        • Improve lip definition (vermilion border, Cupid’s bow)
        • Enhance or restore a gentle pout and profile balance
        • Boost hydration in dry, chapped lips

When designed around your face shape and features, lip fillers shift attention to the centre of the face and create a more harmonious profile, without looking “done”.

How Much Filler Is Needed?

For most patients, a single 1mL syringe is sufficient for balanced lip enhancement. Many clinicians recommend splitting this amount into two sessions a few weeks apart especially for first-timers:

        • Session 1: Foundation and shape

        • Session 2 (about 1-2 weeks later): Refinement once initial swelling has settled

        • Reduce swelling and discomfort in this sensitive area

        • Allow filler to settle and tegrate evenly

        • Achieve a more natural, tailored results

Your plan at Hera will be individualised — some patients may only need a single session; others prefer gradual build-up.

Definition vs Volume vs Hydration

Different patients need different things — not everyone needs big, dramatic lips.

Definition:
Focusing filler along the vermilion border (the natural outline of the lips)

 Sharpen the lip contour (similar to a soft, permanent lip liner) Enhace Cupid’s bow Give a naturally lifted, “pillowy” look without large volume changes

Volume:
We customise the amount of filler to your facial proportions — not all lips or faces suit heavy volumisation.

 Treat naturally thin lips Correct asymmetry between upper and lower lip Create a soft, pouty appearance for patients who want more fullness

Hydration:
Very soft HA fillers and skinbooster-style produccts can be injected more superficially. Ideal for patients whose main concern is dryness rather than size.

 Improve dry, cracked or chapped lips Increase water content and suppleness Give a soft, healthy sheen with minimal added volume

 

 

Who is lip filler Suitable For?

You may consider lip fillers if you:

      • Feel your lips are too thin or flat, especially in photos

      • Notice ageing changes – lines, shrinking lips, lipstick bleeding into wrinkles

      • Have dry, dull, or cracked lips that don’t respond to balms alone

      • Want a more balanced profhile (e.g. weak upper lip vs fuller lower lip)

      • Prefer a non-surgical, adjustable treatment

At The Hera Clinic, we generally prefer soft, flexible HA fillers for the lips to preserve movement and expression

Lip Filler FAQ

How long does lip fillers last?

      • Most HA lip fillers last around 9–12 months, depending on the product, your metabolism and how expressive your lips are.

      • Hydration-focused treatments may last on the shorter end; volumising fillers often last closer to a year.

Maintenance touch-ups are usually smaller and quicker than the first treatment.

After lip fillers, we usually advise:

      • Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for at least 24 hours

      • Avoid spicy food or drinking hot beverages for at least 24 hours

      • Avoid facial massage, aggressive lip treatments or dental procedures for around 2 weeks

      • Avoid very hot environments (sauna/steam) for 24–48 hours

      • Sleep with your head slightly elevated the first night to help swelling

      • Use simple, non-irritating lip balms and avoid picking at any dryness or peeling

Your doctor will provide personalised instructions based on your lifestyle and concurrent treatments.

Yes. If HA fillers are used, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the product if needed (for complications or aesthetic reasons).

We will examine your lips and may recommend:

      • Leaving existing filler if it is well-placed

      • Reshaping or topping up

      • Or dissolving and starting fresh if there is migration, lumps or an unnatural shape

Consultation & Design

      • Detailed facial assessment, photos and discussion of your goals (shape vs volume vs hydration).

      • Review of medical history, prior fillers and any existing asymmetry.

Preparation

      • Cleansing and marking.

      • Topical numbing cream applied; most modern lip fillers also contain lidocaine to improve comfort.

Injection Technique

      • Fine needles and/or cannulas used depending on area and desired result.

      • Small, controlled aliquots placed for definition, volume, and/or hydration.

Post-Treatment Review

      • Immediate result is visible, though lips will be slightly swollen.

      • Your doctor will assess symmetry and give aftercare instructions.

        • Immediately, although swelling will exaggerate the size for the first few days

        • The lips usually settle into their final shape in 1–2 weeks
