Expert Solutions For Common Lip Concerns: Achieving Size, Shape and Balance

Achieve the Most Natural-Looking Results with Lucy Aesthetics

Lip fillers are now one of the leading non-surgical aesthetic treatments in the UK. At Lucy Aesthetics, lip treatments are among the most in-demand services, and for good reason!

Lips play a key role in our overall facial aesthetics, significantly influencing our appearance. The desire for fuller lips extends beyond aesthetics, it is deeply connected to improved self-perception. Enhanced lips can dramatically boost self-esteem, providing a renewed sense of confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.

Thin lips are one of the most common aesthetic concerns, affecting individuals of all ages and genders. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers stand out as the most sought-after and effective temporary solution for enhancing lip volume. This non-invasive lip augmentation procedure takes just 30 minutes and delivers beautifully natural results.

Typically, the effects last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on the product’s density and various factors such as age, individual body response, and lifestyle choices.

Treating Thin Lips with Filler 

Thin lips, especially those lacking a defined cupid's bow, often require multiple lip filler treatments for optimal results. The initial treatment focuses on restoring lost volume and enhancing the overall shape of the lips. After about two months, follow-up treatments can be performed to achieve even greater definition. Selecting the appropriate lip filler is essential in achieving the desired results, as it must be tailored to meet each individual’s unique requirements. For example, different products are needed for lips with looser tissue compared to those with firmer tissue. Ultimately, when enhancing thin lips, the objective is to create a look that feels both natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Treating Uneven Lips with Filler

Lip fillers offer an effective approach to correcting asymmetry by adding volume to targeted areas, thereby enhancing overall symmetry with precise adjustments. While fillers predominantly address volume-related discrepancies, it’s important to consider that other factors, such as dental alignment, jaw structure, and facial muscle dynamics, may also play a role. In some cases, additional treatments may be necessary to achieve a comprehensive solution. 

Treating M-Shaped Lips with Filler

M-shaped lips are characterized by a fuller centre just below the cupid's bow, with thinner sides. To enhance M-shaped lips, precise vertical lines of filler are expertly injected into the thinner areas of the upper lip to add volume. Depending on the severity of the shape, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired balance. The effective treatment of M-shaped lips relies on precision and the artistic skill of an experienced injector.

How to Achieve the Most Natural-Looking Results

The lip flip is a discreet alternative to lip fillers, providing a fuller look without adding volume. This technique involves injecting a small amount of Botox above the upper lip, causing it to curl slightly outwards and subtly defining the lip. It can be used on its own or combined with lip fillers for enhanced results.

Many patients are falling in love with the lip flip. If you’re not a huge fan of injectables, or simply want to try something new, the lip flip can be a great option. It involves just four tiny injections above the top lip. Plus, since it’s a relatively short-term solution, it’s a great choice to test out.

If you're curious about lip filler, choosing to go with a smaller volume of dermal filler can also be a strategic decision for those new to lip enhancements. It provides an opportunity to test the waters of cosmetic procedures. Using a small volume such as 0.5 ml of dermal filler in the lips helps maintain a look that is distinctly ‘you’.
