Lip filler with hyaluronic acid in Barcelona

One syringe at most. I don't use more on the lips: a single syringe gives a natural, proportionate result, and often less is used. The exact amount is decided at the assessment.

Before: unless prescribed by your doctor, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and omega-3 supplements for 3–4 days to reduce the risk of bruising. After: avoid intense exercise and heat (sauna, direct sun) for the first 24 hours.

Some swelling and tenderness for the first 24–72 hours is usual, and sometimes a small bruise at the injection point; these clear on their own within a few days. While swelling goes down, slight asymmetry can show, which we check at the review. Serious complications, such as a blocked blood vessel, are very rare: that is why the treatment is done by a doctor, who knows how to recognise and treat them on the spot.

It's not a technique I usually perform. Before treating, we analyse your face, talk with you and set the goals together. We don't follow trends — we follow what suits your face and proportions.

Gentle kissing is fine after 24 hours. Intense exercise, ideally after 24–48 hours. Dental cleanings and treatments are best left for two weeks, because they keep the mouth open and stretch the lip.

Yes, with precautions. If you have an active outbreak, we wait until it clears. If you get frequent outbreaks, mention it at the assessment: in some cases a preventive treatment is prescribed before the session.

First, wait for the swelling to go down: the real result shows after a week. If you're still not happy, we review it and, if needed, the hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
