Balanced, natural-looking lips

Lip shape, definition and volume vary from person to person and change with age. Concerns commonly raised at consultation include thinning of the lips, loss of definition at the lip border, asymmetry and fine lines around the mouth.

Damien offers consultations for lip shape and definition. She assesses your lips in the context of your overall facial proportions, including symmetry and the relationship between the upper and lower lip, and discusses the options available. Where treatment is appropriate it can be staged across more than one appointment so that changes remain subtle and balanced.

Lip treatments are not permanent. Duration varies between people and is discussed at your consultation.

Risks and recovery

Swelling is expected after lip treatment and is often most noticeable in the first two to three days. Common effects also include redness, tenderness, bruising and small lumps, usually settling within one to two weeks. Less common effects include asymmetry, persistent lumps, cold sore reactivation or infection. Rare but serious effects include blockage of a blood vessel, which can cause skin damage and needs urgent treatment. Damien explains the risks relevant to you before any treatment and provides written aftercare and emergency contact details.
