Do you want to get lip fillers in Belgium, but are you mainly looking for a natural result that suits your face? Then you're in the right place at Dr T. in Ghent. We work subtly and respectfully: just a little more volume or a nicer contour, without changing the appearance of your face. On this page, you'll read how lip fillers work, who they are suitable for and when not, how a treatment with us proceeds, and what to expect in terms of results and timing. Honest advice and your safety always come first.
Lip fillers are injectables based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your skin. With small, targeted injections, we give your lips more volume, a clearer contour, or some extra hydration, depending on your needs.
Hyaluronic acid binds moisture and gives your lips a fuller, fresher appearance. Because it is temporary and biodegradable, the result remains adjustable and reversible, making lip fillers a safe choice when administered by a doctor.
At Dr T., we don't aim for as much volume as possible, but for a result that harmonizes with the rest of your face. Subtle and respectful: so that people mostly see that you look good, not that you had something done.
Lip fillers are right for you if you want to make thin lips fuller, correct an asymmetry, refine your lip border, or restore volume lost over the years. We can also beautifully balance small discrepancies between the upper and lower lip.
Sometimes a filler is not the right choice. In case of active cold sores, an infection, or inflammation around the lips, we postpone the treatment. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we do not perform lip filler treatments, and with certain conditions or medications, we first carefully assess whether it is safe.
If you have expectations that are unrealistic or unnatural for your face, we'll tell you honestly. Better a satisfied result than a treatment you regret later.
Everything starts with a calm conversation. We examine your lips together, listen to your wishes, and discuss what is realistic and natural. Only when you feel comfortable with the plan do we proceed.
Before the treatment, we apply a numbing cream and use a filler with a built-in anesthetic, so it stays comfortable. Using fine needles or a microcannula, we place the hyaluronic acid precisely where needed. The treatment itself usually doesn't take long.
Afterwards, you'll receive clear aftercare instructions: avoid strenuous exercise, skip the sauna, and leave your lips alone. We explain everything so you know what to expect in the first days.
You'll see the volume immediately, but your lips may feel a bit swollen for the first few days. Give it about one to two weeks to fully settle. Only then will you see the real, final result.
Lip fillers are temporary. How long the result lasts varies from person to person and depends on your metabolism, the amount used, and your lifestyle. Over time, the hyaluronic acid gradually breaks down, and you can get a touch-up if desired.
Because we work step by step, we can deliberately build up more cautiously during a first treatment. Better too little and adjust later than too much at once.
Most people experience some swelling, tenderness, and occasionally a small bruise after lip fillers. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days. You might have some unevenness on the first day while everything settles.
Rarer but more serious complications exist, such as a blocked blood vessel. That's why it's important that a doctor performs the treatment, in a medical setting, with knowledge of the anatomy. At Dr T., we also have a dissolving agent (hyaluronidase) available to break down hyaluronic acid if necessary.
We take your safety seriously and honestly discuss potential side effects beforehand. If you have any concerns after the treatment, you can always reach us.
The price of lip fillers depends on what you need: the amount of filler, the type of treatment, and your specific wishes. That's why we don't work with a fixed price for everyone.
During the consultation, we determine what suits you, and you'll receive an honest estimate of the costs, with no surprises afterwards. That way, you know upfront where you stand.
If you choose lip fillers in Belgium, above all choose someone who respects your face and gives honest advice. Want to know what's possible for you? Feel free to book a consultation with Dr T. in Ghent.
If you're dissatisfied with a lip filler treatment elsewhere, or simply want to return to your natural lip shape, hyaluronidase can safely break down the hyaluronic acid. Dr T. performs this correction treatment with attention to detail, so your lips restore harmoniously without an abrupt volume difference.
