LIP ENHANCEMENT
During ageing, portions of the lips recede, the border of the upper lip is lost and the vermilion becomes inverted, resulting in the appearance of thin and ‘saddened’ lips. The vertical wrinkles commonly referred to as “smoker lines” and give a very obvious impression of ageing.
Lip fillers can create fuller more attractive lips as well as reversing the ageing signs commonly seen in the lips and upper mouth including: –
- Volume loss – lips, peri-oral soft tissues, maxilla
- Less defined borders
- Loss of the philtrum ridges
- Vertical smokers lines
Results are visible immediately, however it can take 1 week for any swelling to resolve and final results to be visible.
Treatment effects last from 6 – 8 months.
Lip fillers are quick procedure to get natural looking youthful, plump lips. The procedure is only effective for women with asymmetric, thin or thinning lips.
