Many people (including men!) want to enhance the definition and shape of their lips. But how do you achieve that gorgeous “mistletoe mouth” and eliminate fears of the dreaded “trout pout”.
By all means, ask your friends who ‘does’ their lips and as an absolute failsafe go to an advanced beauty or medical aesthetics practice.
Is worrying about your lips giving you frown lines too? A consultation where you can discuss your expectations freely and openly with an expert practitioner will de-mystify the process and give you all the confidence you need to go ahead with this popular treatment, proven safe and effective over more than 20 years.
Fullness and definition
Perhaps surprisingly, lip enhancement is more than just about adding volume and fullness. This non-surgical procedure has come a long way and your practitioner will now be able to look at how your lip edge can be defined, fine lines on your top lip can be smoothed and the corners of the mouth turned up.
Just a few simple tips will make the process much easier for you from the very start. Before any treatment, always make sure you advise your practitioner of any change in medication or in your general health. It’s advisable to avoid taking blood-thinning supplements such as Vitamin E and garlic the week before treatment as this can encourage bruising.
So, which products are the most popular and how do they work?
Hydrafill Softline is a safe and natural Hyaluronic filler that has been specially formulated for lip enhancement. Dermal fillers replenish the skin's collagen layer, smoothing lines and wrinkles. It maintains its shape using the body's own moisture. It has the ability to hold water so the better hydrated you are, the longer it will last. If you have both top and bottom lip enhanced, you may find that the product breaks down at different rates, which is quite normal. Fillers will add lasting definition to your lip border and fill in those annoying vertical lip lines.
The latest way to achieve a youthful mouth is to have muscle relaxant (botulinum toxin) injected in the top lip. This encourages the top lip to “open” giving a fuller appearance and smoothing lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. It is worth knowing that this does not require any topical anaesthetic.
If you are having a dental block (normally recommended for filling the lips), it’s natural to expect some slight swelling from this anaesthetic. It’s therefore important to plan your diary so that you can go home after the treatment, particularly if you know you bruise or swell easily.
