Lip Enhancement is an extremely popular treatment. It is suitable for anyone who would like fuller lips, or a more defined lip line.

The key to providing a natural result lies in the understating of the golden proportions, and the delegate ratio between the upper and lower lips, and rest of the face.

The filler is injected into different areas of the lips, depending on the desired result. Sometimes this may be the border of the lip to define, or it may be into the body of the lip to create volume and provide hydration. If you are concerned by fine lines surrounding the lips, but not the lips themselves, these can also be treated with a very soft filler to provide structure and support, plumping the wrinkles out.

Results are instantaneous however do be prepared for a small degree of swelling for 1-2 days after the procedure.

Aftercare

Take care around the filled area for the period immediately following your treatment. Avoid unnecessary touching/pressure for the first six hours. Results last approximately 9 months.

Cautions / Contraindications

Patients who suffer from cold sores may benefit from taking an anti-viral medication prior to treatment, and should not have treatment with any active outbreaks. You should not consider dermal fillers of any kind if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any risks or side effects?

Swelling and redness are common side effects, but such complaints are very temporary and should subside shortly after the procedure. If a lip-enhancing treatment is administered by anyone other than an experienced medical professional, it can create uneven results and an unsightly appearance.
