I had lip fillers a few months ago and I could not recommend less.
I went to the clinic in Bath which was just a bed and desk in a room in another clinic. It felt very unorganised and an unsuitable location. Though I will admit my own naivety for going through with the procedure. I felt very rushed as she was running behind and felt like I didn’t have the opportunity to discuss the procedure. When I asked about bruising which I was expecting to happen, I was assured that it would be very unlikely that I would bruise. The right side of my mouth was almost black with bruising afterwards. Despite what I was told I knew bruising was a possibility so I was not so bothered by it. I was also told she could fix the asymmetry when I smiled however, I have now been told by other professionals that this would not have ever been possible with filler.
The problem is now, I am left with 4 sizeable lumps of filler in the left side of my top lip after being injected too superficially. Due to my experience before, I am now having the procedure corrected elsewhere because for obvious reasons I do not have the trust. Unfortunately due to the amount of filler at the surface, I am now having to undertake a lengthy process to get back to how my lips were before never mind how I wanted them.
I can see Dr Helen St John has years of experience and had many positive outcomes. I do believe in my case it was a result of rushing the procedure.
