Lip filler – our results

What makes lips beautiful?

This is often a personal choice, though there are several aspects to a lip which may make it more appealing. These include the shape, the clarity of the outline, the volume, the absence of wrinkles, and a size that is in keeping with the rest of the face.

The last point is crucial as overinflated lips are unnatural. The lower lip is typically 1.618 times the size of the upper lip (in terms of vertical height at the midline), though for some individuals a ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 is desirable. The upper lip should not ideally exceed the size of the lower lip. Lip eversion is also important, that is, a good show of the red part of the lip. This is achieved by supporting the tissues under the lip muscle.

Natural results

We pride ourselves in achieving natural results with lip fillers. This is achieved by using the correct type of hyaluronic acid filler in conservative amounts in the correct anatomical areas. Our doctors specialise in natural lip definition and augmentation, using soft fillers that blend in with the lip tissue.

Oversized lips and duck lips

This occurs when excessive filler is put into the lip (vermillion) borders or the red part of the lip. Over time, this causes an unnatural distortion of the upper lip. We are very conscious of this undesirable result and do not condone excessive lip injection of filler. It is important to treat this area conservatively and only if needed. Younger patients usually require only very little, if any, treatment in the vermillion border. We are able to dissolve hyaluronic acid filler treatments carried out elsewhere if necessary.

How can lips be beautified?

Lip enhancement is one of the most popular treatments. Lip filler injections can be used to improve the size, shape or outline of the lips. A light filler can be used for hydration and general freshening up of the lips. Resurfacing procedures can be used to smooth any lines and wrinkles that may transcend from the skin of the lip to the red part.
