Beautiful Lips
Beautiful lips are about proportion, balance and texture—not size alone. My approach is anatomy-led and conservative: hydrate where needed, define borders lightly, support surrounding structures, and respect your natural identity (female/male and ethnic nuances) for a calm, elegant result.
What you may want to improve
- Dry or thin lips that lose definition through the day
- Flat Cupid’s bow or blurred vermilion border
- Asymmetry between left/right or upper/lower lip
- Peri-oral lines (“smoker’s lines”), lipstick bleeding
- Down-turned mouth corners or strained chin (mentalis overactivity)
- Long upper lip with limited tooth show at rest
Non-surgical options (minimal downtime)
- Dermal Fillers (HA, reversible) — micro-aliquots to restore hydration and define the border, enhance Cupid’s bow, and correct asymmetry. I prioritise shape and light over volume; hyaluronidase is available if ever needed
- Lip Hydration Boosters — non-volumising HA for supple, dewy lips that hold colour better without enlarging them.
- Lip Flip / DAO–Mentalis Modulation — precise neuromodulation to evert the upper lip slightly, soften smoker’s lines, and lift down-turned corners while preserving expression.
- Perioral Skin Quality — Polynucleotides for elasticity and repair; Mesobotox micro-dosing for pore/shine control; Chemical Peels (light/medium) for fine lines and pigment around the mouth.
Safety first: vascular-safe technique, conservative layers, and staged reviews to keep lips soft and natural, never heavy.
Structural options (when anatomy truly requires it)
- Lip Lift (selected cases) — shortens an elongated white lip to restore youthful tooth show and Cupid’s bow definition; discreet columellar incision, detailed scar care.
- Chin/Jaw support — subtle chin projection (filler or osseous genioplasty) can improve the mentolabial angle and mouth corner posture—often making lips read more balanced without extra lip volume.
Smart sequencing
- Hydrate & define: boosters + border refinement (HA micro-threads)
- Balance movement: lip flip ± DAO/mentalis modulation
- Address skin: PN/mesobotox/peels for barcode lines
- Consider structure: lip lift or chin support if proportions still read off
Typical timelines (indicative)
Fillers / Hydration Boosters:
mild marks 24–48 h;
integration 2–3 weeks
Lip Flip / DAO/mentalis:
onset 3–7 days,
peak 2 weeks
Polynucleotides / Mesobotox / Peels:
glow and smoothness build over 2–6 weeks
Lip Lift (if chosen):
sutures ~5–7 days;
refine 6–12 weeks

FAQs
Will my lips look “done”?
No. We use micro-dosing and shape-first design. The goal is hydrated definition, not bulk.
Fillers or a lip flip?
Flip enhances show and curl without volume; fillers define and hydrate. They often work best together, lightly.
What about smoker’s lines?
We combine skin quality (PN/peels), micro-threads of HA, and mesobotox micro-dosing for a smooth, natural look.
Are results reversible?
Yes—HA is reversible with hyaluronidase. Neuromodulation naturally wears off in months.
