Lip Volume
Are you looking for extra volume, shape and definition in your lips? Do you want to achieve plump, kissable, natural looking lips without the exaggerated “trout pout”? Improving the appearance of your lips is a specialised technique that requires both technical and artistic skill.
The key elements to great lips are:
- Proportion (between upper and lower lips)
- Symmetry
- Volume
- Definition
- Cupid’s bow
- Prominent philtrum (the area between nose and upper lip)
- Smooth contours
- Corners that smile
Getting the balance of these elements with the age of the patient and their natural facial features is essential.
Due to TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) guidelines, we’re unable to mention certain treatment names on our website. During your consultation, our team can provide full details and discuss the best options for your skin concerns.
Lip Volume Frequently Asked Questions
Is the lip treatment painful?
At Brisbane’s Elysium™ Skin Centre, we use a combination of ice and topical local anaesthetic cream to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable as possible. In addition, some of the products contain local anaesthetic agents that further minimise any discomfort.
What should I expect after the lip treatment?
When treating the lip area you WILL experience some bruising and swelling for 24-48hrs. In some cases the swelling can be severe, and can last for up to 6 days. It is temporary and will settle.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Bruising and swelling are very common and to be expected. They settle quickly.
Asymmetry may occur. In the early stages it is usually due to uneven swelling and will settle. If it persists it can be corrected.
Infection is uncommon, although cold sores (herpes) may be reactivated in those who are prone. Tell us if you have had a history of cold sores as you will need to go on a short course of preventative tablets. Bacterial infection is very rare and is marked by pain, tenderness, redness and unexpected swelling. Call us immediately if you have these symptoms as you will need to commence a course of antibiotics.
How long does the effect last?
This depends on the type of product used, but generally they last about 6 months. During your consultation, Dr Csilla will discuss and develop a treatment plan to meet your desired outcome.
How much does the treatment cost?
Dr Csilla will discuss these costs with you and provide an accurate quote at the time of consultation.
