Lip fillers are one of the most requested aesthetic treatments in the UK and beyond. And whilst they have previously had a bit of a bad rep - mostly down to the media - people are now starting to recognise the benefits that lip fillers can deliver beyond just size and volume 👄So, if you’re happy with the size of your lips, but are still wondering whether lip fillers are right for you, here’s everything you need to know about how fillers can be used to subtly fine-tune the lips 👇🏽
💉 Define the cupid's bow
Using a small amount of dermal filler, we can accentuate the two peaks of your upper lip, or ‘Cupid’s Bow,’ and balance the top and bottom lips. This technique draws attention to the midsection of your lips and can give a more youthful, poutier appearance to your upper lip.
💉 Enhance the philtrum column
We can further enhance the ‘Cupid’s Bow’ technique by placing a tiny amount of filler into your philtrum columns as well to add further lift and support.
💉 Correct asymmetry
If your lips are uneven, or unbalanced, lip fillers are a good treatment option to consider.
By strategically injecting dermal filler, we can naturally restore lost volume, plump thinning areas, and lift drooping, leaving you with a beautiful pout that’s in perfect harmony with your other facial features.
💉 Define the border
As we age, our lips lose their natural definition and support. This can easily affect the border of our lips, changing the pout and projection. By strengthening the lip border, the entire lip can look fuller and more pronounced.
💉 Boost hydration
As we age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid declines leaving the skin and lips dry and dehydrated. This dehydration can change the appearance of your lips, making them appear more wrinkled or puckered.
