Lip Fillers for Men

There’s a huge assumption that cosmetic treatments, both evasive and non-evasive, are only for women. It’s hardly surprising as in the media, we more commonly see female celebrities having work done more.

Lips shrink and lose volume with age for both men and women. As we grow older, we lose fat and collagen, making them appear thinner or uneven. Lip fillers for men offer the chance of recapturing that youthful look.  Ageing doesn’t discriminate on gender! In fact, men generally have thinner lips that women, so the need and often the desire for more volume in the lips is sometimes far greater with men.

Males who have visited the practice have complained of small and thin lips, but are scared of looking more feminine. Most males who undertake the treatment stress they don’t want big lips which often to create a Kylie Jenner effect. This is totally understanding, which is why Bamboo Aesthetics arrange a consultation with you before treatment to fully understand your requirements, as both you and one of our practitioners agree on an end goal. Lips can be one of the most difficult areas to treat, which is why we have a team of only the best practitioners to offer you the look you’re after.

Candidates for Lip Fillers for Men

Men who could benefit the most from Lip Fillers are those who are self conscious. Men who have visited the practice enquiring about lip fillers for men have varied from models who are regularly behind the camera, up to builders who have noticed asymmetry of the lips with age.

Cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers are often associated with women more as women are often under more scrutiny for their appearance. However, we understand that both men and women of any age can be self conscious about their appearance, which is why we open our treatment to any suitable patient in need of our help. Lip augmentation adds volume to the lips and can help balance the lips for a more symmetrical, youthful and handsome face, whilst at the same time only being a subtle recreation. As the treatment is subtle, the result doesn’t dominate the face. The result will not look plump as our practitioners design the lip enhancement with the patients’ wishes in mind, and with years of experience in offering lip fillers for men.

The treatment can be done within an hour, and you’ll be able to return to work without any upheaval the same day. As the area is numbed during before treatment, you will feel no pain, however you may experience some slight discomfort as the numbing wares off. Rest assured however, this will pass shortly after.

Lip Fillers for Men for a more handsome look

It’s becoming more socially acceptable for men to get treatment. Men who have often asked for anti wrinkle treatment, have then dabbled with lip fillers. Its often partners of female patients who are curious about treatment. The trend started with many gay men interested in lip fillers, especially with the huge LGBT interest around Kylie Jenner. However, we see celebrities such as Tom Hardy with pillow lips, and many men want that natural but sexy look. Men have become more and more conscious of the way they look. We’ve seen male grooming escalate over the past years. Many of patients tell us how their other half spends more time in the bathroom than them. Cosmetic treatment is just the next step up from that. Popping in for some filler appears to be the natural next step from trimming one’s beard! Our books suggest that the number of men coming into the practice will only increase as time goes on as it becomes increasingly more socially accepted.

A more sexy but natural look

We recently reached out to one of our patients, James, 38, to hear about his experience getting Lip Fillers in Cardiff.

The wife had been at me for a while now. “Get lip fillers!” she said. I told her that I wasn’t messing around with that stuff. Who’s heard of a man getting their lips done? Lucy, my other half comes to Bamboo every few months for anti wrinkle treatment. I sit in the waiting room. I’ve been ribbed all my life about my lips. At uni, my mates used to asked me where my top lip had gone. I never for a minute thought I’d eventually have treatment. However, as I said, the wife had been going on about it for a while now. She’s obsessed with Tom Hardy. She loves his lips. But I’m no Tom Hardy. Handsome guy and all that, but I didn’t have lips like that. Anyway, Natalie who works at reception was telling me to get my lips done and that a lot of men actually have them done. She said Dan or Ollie could slot me in and that my lips wouldn’t look plump like a girls’.  She said Dan and Ollie had done lots of lip fillers for men and they were all happy with the result. I thought, if it gets the missus off my back, I should maybe give it a go. Natalie suggested I didn’t tell Lucy and then see if she noticed. Well, when Natalie said that, I was convinced. So I popped in Bamboo at my lunch break the week after – I only work up the road – and Dan numbed my lips and injected some filler. At first they were a bit voluminous and I was worried, but in the evening the numbing had gone down. Lucy, as you can imagine noticed straight away, especially because of the immediate swelling. She was over the moon I’d had work done as you can imagine. She’s so happy I had it done and to be honest with you it wasn’t much of a hassle. My lips are fuller now but at the same time it’s only subtle. I still don’t look like Tom Hardy mind!
