Little lips?

In the journey towards facial balancing, we HAVE to address the lips!

And NO! I am not talking about duck clips, big lips, wide lips, flat lips. I’m talking about enhancing YOUR natural lip shape that you have in order to fit the overall aesthetic of your face in a very NATURAL way. 

In younger patients who don’t have significant volume loss or upper lip droop, a little lip plump with very lightweight filler does the trick effectively. 0.5 cc to 1 cc can make a big difference. You can achieve such natural looking results without looking overdone. It is key in the overall facial balancing process. 

As we get older, the area above our top lip loses laxity and can make our top lip droop, making it look thinner and smaller. We also lose volume, which can exacerbate this. Lip filler can help restore shape and volume.  Also, supporting the philtrum columns (the two vertical lines between your nose and your top lip) can help pull the lip up for support and add volume without actually adding more filler in the lip. Effectively making you look… Younger.

It is a fairly quick procedure, giving you the biggest bang for your buck in terms of your investment in your facial aesthetics. Most fillers last 9 to 12 months, if not more. If you have a high pain tolerance, topical numbing cream can help take the edge off. But if you are quite sensitive to pain, we can do a nerve block as well. Downtime is minimal. 

So what are you waiting for?
