Lips

BOO​K AN APPOINTMENT

Our lips can tell a thousand stories – your age doesn’t have to be one of them!

As we get a little older our lips lose the typical features of youth such as definition and volume. We can see this in thin lips (although this can be a problem for some regardless of age), downturned corners of the mouth, and in bar code lines or smoker’s lines around the mouth (and you don’t even need to be a smoker!).

Our lips communicate more than just words. Lips convey our personality and emotions through our smile. By using a combination of non surgical approaches we can replace some of the naturally depleted moisture in the lips to help you achieve the confidence boosting shape and volume you want. 
​
Consultation
is key to determining your best outcome. We can manage natural lip concerns such as asymmetry and ‘gummy smile’ as well as age related change.

Woman's lips showing asymmetry and thinness

Asymmetric Lips

​Asymmetry can be a naturally occurring lip concern often due to differences in muscle tone on each side of the mouth. Botulinum Toxin (also known as Botox) injections are effective at correcting this.

Thin Lips

​This can be down to genetics or later as a consequence of ageing. Careful injections of dermal filler will overcome this appearance in most people. Volumising of the lips will always be proportionate to the rest of the face to give a naturally enhanced look. ​

Gummy Smile

Gummy Smile
When your smile reveals your gums this is referred to as a ‘gummy smile’. Using botulinum toxin (botox) injections we can selectively weaken the muscles in the upper lip responsible for showing excess gum which brings about excellent results.

Downturned Corners of the Mouth

Downturned corners of the mouth
This can be due to the overpowering depressor muscles of the mouth causing downturning. The midface drops with age which also contributes to apparent downturning of the corners of the mouth. A combination treatment of careful placement of dermal filler into the facial “fat pockets” along with botulinum toxin injections could be the most effective approach which would be discussed during your consultation. ​

​Smoker’s Lines

Smoker's lines
​Smoker’s lines, also known as barcode lines or lipstick lines are vertical lines around the mouth which are often most prominent on the upper lip. They are the result of a combination of factors such as loss of elasticity which comes with ageing and may be accelerated by smoking. Sun damage can also play a part. ​

We find a combination approach of dermal fillers, peels or microneedling may be suitable for reducing the appearance of deep visible static lines. 

Lip Definition

Lip enhancement can be as much about definition as it is about volume.  For some people achieving a more defined lip can be about targeted treatment of the lip philtrum (the vertical lines between the nose and the lip) and the area known as ‘cupid’s bow’ using dermal filler injections which brings definition to your upper lip line.
