What it is
Lip enhancement is about proportion before volume. The aim is to work with the shape you already have, correct any imbalance between the upper and lower lip, and improve definition without changing the character of your mouth.
Treatment is carried out conservatively and in stages where appropriate. Doing less in one appointment, then reviewing, is usually how a natural result is achieved.
Who considers this
Often suited to
- People whose lips have thinned over time
- People with a noticeable asymmetry between one side and the other
- People whose lip borders have softened and lost definition
- People who have had lip treatment elsewhere and want a more restrained look
May help with
- Loss of volume through the body of the lip
- Uneven upper and lower lip proportion
- A flattened or undefined lip border
- Fine vertical lines around the mouth
On the day
We start by talking through what you want to change and, just as importantly, what you want to keep.
Your lips are assessed at rest and while you speak and smile, then photographed for your record.
Treatment is carried out slowly, with mirror checks along the way so you are never surprised by the result.
You leave with written aftercare and a review point.
Results and review
Some swelling in the first days is normal and settles. The result you judge is the one you see once that has resolved, not the one you see on the day.
If more definition is wanted after review, it can be added later. Building gradually is safer than reversing an overfilled lip.
Aftercare
Written aftercare is provided at your appointment and reviewed with you.
Avoid makeup on the lips, strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and steam rooms for 24–48 hours.
Use a cool compress in short intervals if you are swollen, and sleep with your head slightly raised for the first two nights.
Avoid facials, lip products with active acids and dental work for two weeks where possible.
You can contact the clinic directly if anything concerns you afterwards.
