Everything You Need To Know About Lip Enhancements

t’s common to lose volume in the lips, prompting many to seek non-surgical lip volume treatment. Let’s explore why lips change over time, what treatment options are available, and other considerations.

If you are interested to learn what may be suitable for you, you are welcome to book a consultation at Ascension Cosmetic Medicine with Dr Scott Allison. He will assess your individual anatomy and discuss whether treatment may be appropriate for you.

Why Do Our Lips Change Over Time?

Changes in the lips are a common part of the natural ageing process. As the body ages, the natural production of structural proteins in the skin gradually declines, which can contribute to changes in lip volume, definition, and the appearance of fine lines. Environmental factors such as sun exposure and lifestyle habits may also influence how and when these changes become visible.

Changes that may develop over time include:

• Fine vertical lines on the lips
• Loss of lip volume and definition
• Changes in the corners of the mouth
• Changes in the definition of the upper lip border

These are normal age-related changes. Some people also have naturally thinner or less-defined lips due to genetics.

Who is a Candidate for Lip Volume Treatment?

Often, people who seek lip volume treatment are those who have cosmetic concerns about a slim lip appearance or lack of definition – whether due to natural ageing or genetics.

Since everyone’s facial anatomy and circumstances are different, a consultation with a qualified practitioner is the best way to find out if you are a candidate.

What Happens During a Lip Treatment?

Every treatment begins with a consultation. Dr Scott Allison will assess your facial structure and lip anatomy to determine the suitable approach for your goals.

The procedure typically takes approximately 30 minutes. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to help manage discomfort. Discomfort tolerance varies between individuals, and individual recovery varies. Therefore, Dr Allison will provide personalised aftercare instructions at your appointment.
