No. All legally approved fillers in the UK are biodegradable and will break down over time. Permanent fillers are banned due to safety risks.
Dermal fillers are pharmaceutical-grade gel injectables designed to restore volume, provide lift, smooth out wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are the safest and most popular. They are biodegradable, reversible, and hydrate the skin by retaining moisture. They are non-animal derived and integrate seamlessly with the skin.
Lip size is assessed in proportion to other facial features, especially the eyes. Ideally, lips should complement eye size for balance.
Naturally, the bottom lip is fuller. The upper lip should never be larger than the lower lip to avoid an unnatural “duck lip” look.
The golden ratio (1.618) suggests the lower lip should be about 1.618 times larger than the upper lip. Modern trends sometimes favour a 1:1 ratio, but proportions should still align with your facial harmony.
HA fillers are safe when administered by experienced medical professionals. They are made in sterile lab environments, are vegan-friendly, and can be dissolved easily with hyaluronidase in case of overfilling or complications. This makes them a safer option compared to non-HA fillers.
We recommend Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers — specifically Juvéderm® Volift — for their safety, reversibility, and ideal consistency for soft, natural-looking lips.
