Fuller, natural-looking lips
The lips greatly influence the aesthetic quality of the face, both in terms of fullness and shape.
As we age, the lips frequently loose volume and may appear thinner. Lip fillers are beneficial in restoring volume, correcting asymmetry, adding definition to your Cupid’s bow and in diminishing perioral lines.
One of the most frequent concerns with lip treatments is the potential for creating unnatural-looking lips. With a professional lip enhancement procedure, lips should always remain in harmony and proportion with the overall size and shape of the face. Dr Hazel prides herself in producing a natural looking lip.
Clinical knowledge of anatomy, pharmacology, and physiology are combined with the artistic skill and judgment of the doctor to create the very best cosmetic result.
Dr Hazel’s expertise and experience in providing lip enhancement give you beautifully shaped lips using precision placed dermal fillers, accentuating your smile.
Treatment details
A comprehensive consultation will take place before treatment.
Your photographs, complete medical history and consent for treatment will be taken. Desires and expectations will be discussed.
Dr Hazel can use a topical numbing cream if required. However, this is not necessary as the procedure is generally well-tolerated (this takes an additional 20 minutes).
Skin will be cleaned thoroughly before treatment. After injecting the filler under the skin, the area is massaged to smooth and mould the filler.
