Lip Enhancement

Many women and men feel self-conscious about the size, shape or definition of their lips. Lip enhancement at our Melbourne skin centre can significantly improve the appearance of your lips. Fuller lips are considered attractive or even sensuous, whereas thin or deflated lips may give the impression of being stressed or tense. And as we age, the red vermillion of the lip gradually becomes thinner, the lip line flattens, the corners of the mouth begin to droop, the upper lip tends to flatten out, roll in and lose volume. Vertical lines can appear and cause lipstick to bleed, particularly in smokers.

Expert injections of dermal fillers refine, fill, lift or plump the lips as well as re-define the shape of the lip or lip line. With techniques available at Liberty Belle you can achieve improved shape or lift of the lip without necessarily having lips enlarged if this is your preference. Contrary to common belief, muscle-relaxing anti-wrinkle injections are not used for enhancing the volume or fullness of the lips.

FAQ

Here are some common questions our patients ask during their consultation.

How long does the treatment take?

Lip enhancement takes about 30 minutes.

Will it be painful?

The area sometimes requires some prior numbing with local anaesthetic to eliminate or reduce any discomfort. Should it occur, it is only temporary.

Are there any side effects?

As there is usually some swelling and occasionally a small bruise that resolve within about 24 – 48 hours, we suggest that you carefully plan social engagements for at least 48 hours after the procedure.

How long will the effect last?

The duration of the effect varies from person to person and depends on the product used. The results are not permanent but decline slowly over time so treatments can be repeated or adjusted to suit your desired result. Generally these products last between 6 – 18 months.
