Lip Volume & Definition
Lip shape, volume and definition vary naturally between individuals and can also change over time due to ageing and other individual factors.
At Specialist Skin & Laser Clinics, we offer personalised cosmetic aesthetics consultations for clients concerned about lip volume, shape, definition, proportions or symmetry.
During your consultation, our experienced medical team will take the time to understand your concerns and aesthetic goals, review your relevant medical history and previous cosmetic procedures, and complete an individual assessment of your lips and surrounding facial features.
Your consultation is an opportunity to ask questions and receive clear information about options that may be appropriate for you, including their potential benefits, limitations, risks, recovery considerations and expected outcomes. Any recommendation will be based on your individual circumstances and clinical suitability, with no obligation to proceed with treatment.
How it Works
Understanding Lip Volume & Definition
The appearance of the lips is influenced by individual anatomy, genetics, facial proportions and natural changes that occur over time.
Lip volume, shape, borders and proportions differ from person to person, which means there is no single approach that is appropriate for everyone.
Your practitioner will consider your lips in relation to your surrounding facial features and proportions when assessing your concerns and discussing your aesthetic goals.
Your Consultation
Your consultation begins with a discussion about the aspects of your lips that concern you and what you would like to achieve.
Your practitioner will review your relevant medical history and previous cosmetic procedures before completing an individual assessment.
Discussing Your Options
Following your assessment, your practitioner will discuss options that may be appropriate for your individual concerns and circumstances.
Potential benefits, limitations, risks, expected outcomes, recovery considerations and relevant alternatives will be explained so you can make an informed decision.
Your Treatment Plan
If treatment is considered clinically appropriate and you choose to proceed, an individual treatment plan will be developed.
Where a prescription is required, this will only occur following assessment by an appropriately qualified prescribing practitioner.
Your proposed treatment will be explained and you will have an opportunity to ask questions before providing informed consent.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
Following treatment, your medical team will provide individual aftercare instructions and explain what you may experience during recovery.
Follow-up care will be recommended or arranged where clinically appropriate.
