Lip Enhancement Lip augmentation is used to enhance the appearance of thin, aged, or asymmetrical lips.
This treatment provides the perfect solution to achieving a naturally seductive pout. It also provides a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel better about the way you look. By having a refreshed lip-line with a more attractive contour will also help to stop the lipstick bleed. At FACEmed we only use non-permanent, safe and biodegradable products for lip enhancement in order to achieve a natural appearing result.
What do aesthetically pleasing lips look like?
This is a personal preference, therefore we take time to discuss your needs and what you would like to achieve at your consultation.
It is important to have lips that suit your face appropriately. As a rule, for people with a smaller face, eyes and nose, it may be more appropriate to concentrate on well defining the border rather than focusing on volume.
As a general rule bottom lip should be larger than the top, this however, is not always the case.

What Is It?
Injectable lip enhancement is a procedure involving the strategic injection of dermal fillers i.e. Restylane®, HydraFill® or Juvederm® into parts of the lips and surrounding areas to enhance, shape, or add volume to the lips and reduce surrounding wrinkles i.e. vertical lip lines or lip corners.
Your Experience
Allergy testing is not necessary with the type of filler we use. The treatment takes 30-45 minutes. Local or nerve block anaesthetic may be used depending on the area treated & personal preference. The filler is injected into the area with a very fine needle. Discomfort is minimal and won’t last long. A further treatment 2-4 weeks later may be required to achieve an optimal correction.
The Future
The results will last for around 9 months, depending on lifestyle, skin structure, age and degree of perfection demanded. A huge benefit with the products used by FACEmed is that your body breaks it down completely. Therefore you are able to make choices about your appearance to ensure you always have the most appealing features of the time. Who knows what the perception of ideal beauty will be in 10 years? Furthermore, as we age, a face is constantly changing and beauty is best maintained by periodically evaluating the need for further treatment.
Side Effects
After lip enhancement, the main side effect is swelling of the lips. This will gradually resolve over 3-5 days. Usually injection of the lip body produces more swelling than injection at the lip border. Slight bruising may also result at the injection site.
Occasionally, lip enhancement may cause cold sores to recur. If this is the case, please notify us so we can prescribe an anti-viral tablet.
It is best to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive UV exposure for at least 48 hours post treatment.
On occasion minor irregularities may be noticed initially. These may be massaged twice daily until they have resolved.
The Result
Instant Gratification!! The result is instantaneous, producing a natural appearing improvement, gentle and safe to the skin lasting up to 9 months. The great thing with this treatment is that you can replenish your looks whenever you feel the need; a touch up is easy and can be performed whenever you like.

P.S. Patients often ask me: Permanent Versus Non-Permanent Fillers in the Lips?
If we are to consider facial aesthetics in relation to the aging process then we know that facial shape, form and volume changes with age. In this case we may want to adapt our facial features periodically to the ever changing aesthetic needs of the face. Also we may want to consider the fact that what we may find aesthetically pleasing today may not be aesthetically pleasing in 10 years time. Perhaps we may want to have a plumper look now but later on we may find that less volume is more suitable for our ever-changing face. Non-Permanent Fillers may be the answer.
