Lip fillers to Enhance Shape and Volume
What are lip fillers, and what do they do?
Lip fillers can be used to give plumper, more voluminous lips; however, they must be in proportion with the rest of your face.
When treating the lips with fillers, there is a fine line between natural and overfilled.
Fillers can also be used to correct thinning lips if your lips have lost their definition or if you want to improve the appearance of any lines surrounding the mouth.
The top lip should be smaller than the bottom lip to keep the lips balanced. If you have a small chin, big lips can overpower it, especially when looking from the side, and give you an unnatural look.
So for natural-looking lips, your practitioner must tailor these proportions accordingly. And to do this well, your other facial features must also be considered.
A natural-looking pout doesn’t always require treating the entire lip, but instead, adding volume or contouring the outer edges of the lips, the cupid’s bow, or the corners of the mouth may be all that is needed to achieve the best result for you.
To restore a more youthful or balanced appearance to your lips, our highly experienced doctor will use several different techniques.
He will always work with you to maintain a natural result, never overfilled.
