- Katherine's approach
-
Before treatment, Katherine assesses lip shape, symmetry, and proportion, along with how the lips relate to the rest of the face. Product amount and placement are planned from that assessment, then the filler is placed zone by zone with symmetry checked as she goes.
She often recommends a smaller amount first, with a review visit to decide whether more is needed. Lip filler is one part of the wider dermal filler menu, priced the same as every other filler area.
- Who it's for
-
Thinning lips, asymmetry between upper and lower, a border that has softened, or a first lip appointment you are nervous about. Treatment is postponed during pregnancy or while nursing.
- The process
-
It starts with a complimentary consultation covering the plan and exact pricing. On treatment day your lips are numbed, then the filler is placed in stages.
You will see the change immediately. Swelling settles over the first days, with the true result visible by week two or three.
- Downtime
-
Lips swell more than other filler areas, so give them a few days. Katherine’s aftercare: sleep on your back for the first two nights and skip exercise for 24 hours.
Her lip specific instructions: no straws, no smoking, no heavy kissing for two weeks after treatment.

Common questions
Katherine’s stated focus is natural looking lip enhancement. In practice that means conservative amounts placed for shape first, with more added at a later visit only if you want it. If she thinks a request is more product than your lips need, she says so at the consultation.
Filler generally lasts 6 to 24 months depending on the product and the area. Lips are the most mobile part of the face, so expect the shorter end of that range. Quick top ups keep the result steady.
Lips are sensitive, so this is the area where numbing matters most. Between the topical anesthetic and the lidocaine inside the filler, most patients find it easier than they expected.
Follow the aftercare: sleep on your back for the first two nights, avoid pressing your face into pillows, and skip straws or smoking for two weeks. Placement technique matters as well, so ask Katherine about it at your consultation.
