Lip filler

What is lip filler?

Fillers can be used to give both shape and volume to your lips. We use different techniques to create a natural fullness to enhance your smile. We define the shape of the lips by injecting into the vermillion border. This technique is often preferred in clients who are happy with the volume or ‘plumpness’ of the lip, but would like a more defined shape. We can add volume by injecting into the main pink body of the lip known as the wet-dry border.

We aspire to add subtle volume to the lips while working within the PHI golden ratio of 1:1.6 between the upper and lower lip to achieve natural fuller looking lips.

After an in-depth consultation, at the start of the procedure, we will decide on the most appropriate amount of filler and tailor the procedure to achieve the look you desire.

If this is your first time having a lip filler treatment some people find that once the filler settles, they may not see a noticeable difference. Depending on the amount of filler you have. This is because there is a certain amount of empty space that naturally resides within the lip and this needs to be filled before any volume can be added. You should see a much more noticeable difference on your next treatment as this empty space has now been filled.
