Lips can lose definition and fullness over time due to natural ageing, hydration loss, and changes in surrounding bone and tissue support.
For others, lip shape and proportion may naturally differ between the upper and lower lip or between sides of the face.
Dr Allison performs detailed facial analysis to understand each patient’s anatomy, balance, and goals before recommending any treatment.
Some non-surgical options for lip shape and volume may involve prescription-only medicines or medical devices. In accordance with TGA regulations, these are not advertised publicly and are discussed privately during consultation.
Areas Commonly Reviewed During Consultation
Size and Proportion
Some people naturally have smaller lips or reduced symmetry between the upper and lower lip.

Perioral Area and Support
Changes in bone and soft tissue around the mouth may influence how the lips appear.
Addressing the area surrounding the lips holistically can help maintain harmony and prevent exaggerated or isolated results.
