Lip volumisation can significantly enhance the fullness of the lips, making them appear plumper and more defined. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with naturally thin lips or those who have lost volume due to ageing.
The procedure can help refine the shape and contour of the lips, enhancing features like the cupid's bow and creating a more harmonious balance between the upper and lower lips. This can also improve the overall symmetry of the lips.
As we age, our lips can lose volume and elasticity, leading to a thinner and less youthful appearance. Lip volumisation can restore lost volume, smooth out fine lines, and rejuvenate the lips, contributing to a more youthful look.
A key aspect of successful lip volumisation is achieving natural-looking results. Skilled cosmetic nurse carefully assesses the patient's facial structure and lip proportions to ensure that the enhancements look subtle and in harmony with the rest of the face.
The process begins with an in-depth consultation where we assess the patient's facial structure and discuss their aesthetic goals. During this session, we determine the most suitable approach to achieve the desired results. We also review the patient’s medical history, identify any risk factors, and check for allergies to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.
On the day of the treatment, the cosmetic nurse may apply a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort. The selected technique is then carefully applied to specific areas of the lips to enhance fullness and shape. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and most patients can resume their daily activities immediately afterward.
After the treatment, patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which generally subsides within a few days. To ensure optimal results and safety, it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol consumption for 24 hours post-treatment. Patients are also encouraged to gently ice the treated area if needed and to adhere to any specific aftercare instructions provided. This ensures patient safety and satisfaction with the treatment.
