LIP DEFINITION AND VOLUMISATION
Lip-related concerns often revolve around insufficient volume, whether due to genetics or aging. The appearance of this feature can significantly influence the overall facial aesthetic, with full and well-shaped lips being highly desirable. Smooth, dewy lips with ideal top-to-bottom proportions can create a more aesthetically pleasing look for individuals.
As with other facial features, lips change with age. The delicate skin around the mouth is more susceptible to wrinkles. Fine lines around the lips, often called lip lines or smokers' lines, commonly develop as collagen and elastin diminish. Aging also leads to decreased tissue density, resulting in thinner lips as youthful volume declines. Some individuals naturally have thinner lips, asymmetry, or a less defined cupid's bow (the v-shape at the center of the upper lip). In such cases, people may feel their lips are not well-balanced with the rest of their facial features.
At BAYUTY Medical, we utilise dermal fillers to enhance lip volume and create a more aesthetically pleasing shape and size. This treatment can improve lip contouring and outline, as well as define the cupid's bow. Dermal lip fillers are also effective in smoothing the texture of the skin on and around the mouth, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Different needle techniques and even a small cannula may be used which will be discussed with you before your procedure. The technique will be individualised depending on your specific needs and goals.
Lips generally consist of two stages: shaping and volumisation.
Shaping- this involves injecting thin linear streaks of soft dermal filler superficially across the ‘vermillion border’ surrounding the lips. This is ideal for those with little shape, fine perioral lines, subtle changes of enhancing mild shape that already exists.
Volumisation- this involves injecting deeper into the ‘wet-dry’ border and sometimes a micro-cannula is beneficial here. A ‘soft-pout’ can be created when injected centrally.
Many of Yasmin's current clients have had previous bad experiences with lip fillers which were still visible when they consulted Yasmin. In this instance Yasmin will offer to dissolve any migrated, lumpy or overfilled lips at a non-profitable cost to the clinic.
