While genetics play a big part in the size and shape of our lips, we are all affected by the process of aging; it is natural for the lips to get thinner as we get older because the rate of collagen production decreases significantly from the age of 25 onwards. In addition, the level of elastin in and around the lips also falls, resulting in not only a loss of plumpness but also in a gradual change in shape and disappearance of definition. 

​

One way to improve the size and/or shape of the lips is using lip fillers - a treatment where gel containing hyaluronic acid (which naturally occurs in our body) in injected into the lip. We can tailor the type of lip filler to the kind of result you wish to achieve - whether you want soft, minimal plumping or a contoured glamorous pout, or even just to add extra moisture without changing the lip size.

​

After lip filler injections, it is recommended follow some recommendations for the best results. These include: avoiding sun exposure, avoiding sun bed, avoiding excessive temperature e.g. saunas, not drinking alcohol in the first 24 hours post treatment, as well as avoiding strenuous exercise.
