Lip Filler For Men: 7 Facts You Need to Know

Did you know that Australians now spend 40% more on cosmetic procedures than those in the United States?

According to a recent article by SBS, Australia has surpassed the $1 billion mark, with aesthetic treatments for facial volume support ranking among the top five procedures.

What’s Different About Lip Enhancement for Men?

One key difference lies in the outcome. While some enhancements aim for fuller projection, lip enhancement for men focuses on preserving natural structure. The goal is subtlety—refining the lips without compromising a masculine appearance.

At Dr Scott Allison’s clinic, we specialise in aesthetic treatments for men, and enhancing the lips is one of our most requested services.

Why Choose Lip Enhancement?

As we age, our lips tend to lose shape and structure. This is largely due to a natural decline in collagen production, which begins in your twenties and continues to drop by 1–2% each year.

This reduction can cause the lips to thin and lose their natural contour. Aesthetic lip treatments can help support the structure of the lips, restore balance, and maintain natural-looking proportions—all without changing your identity.

Our approach prioritises subtle definition and symmetry, tailored specifically to male facial anatomy.

How Does Dr Scott Allison Personalise Results?

Size

We focus on balancing the size of the upper and lower lips while preserving your natural look. The aim is a subtle enhancement, not exaggeration.

Lip Border and Shape

Definition of the cupid’s bow and philtrum columns can help restore youthful structure. Supporting these areas enhances the profile without adding unnecessary volume.

Proportion

Achieving the ideal lip-to-face ratio creates a harmonious, well-balanced appearance. We tailor the result to your unique features and goals.

Perioral Rejuvenation

Volume loss and changes around the mouth area can affect the overall look. We consider this broader region when planning treatment to ensure a cohesive and natural outcome.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

The entire appointment typically takes around 30 minutes. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing agent is applied about 15–20 minutes beforehand.

In some cases, a stronger anaesthetic may be used, although this is rarely necessary.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Results vary depending on your anatomy and desired outcome. Some treatments enhance firmness or structure, while others add hydration or definition.

Younger clients may prefer more subtle support to maintain their natural features. Older clients often benefit from definition and contouring.

How Long Do Results Last?

On average, the effects of lip enhancement last between 12 and 18 months. Some clients may see longer-lasting outcomes depending on metabolism and lifestyle.

Precision in application is key. Working with a licensed and experienced medical professional ensures optimal placement and results that align with your goals.

Are There Any Side Effects?

This treatment is minimally invasive and typically associated with only mild, short-term side effects. These may include swelling, minor bleeding, or discomfort, which usually settle within a few days.

Although rare, serious complications can occur if the treatment is not performed correctly. In Australia, there have been isolated incidents of vascular injury due to improper technique, underscoring the importance of choosing a qualified provider.

At Dr Scott Allison’s clinic, your safety comes first. Dr Allison is an internationally trained physician with a loyal client base and a proven track record of excellence in men’s aesthetic medicine.

You can feel confident knowing you’re in experienced hands.

What Is the Aftercare Process Following My Lip Enhancement Treatment?

The aftercare for men’s lip enhancement is simple and mirrors the standard recovery recommendations for all clients:

• Avoid makeup or lip products for at least 4 hours

• Refrain from exercise for the next 24 hours

• Avoid alcohol on the day of treatment to help minimise bruising

• Apply a cold compress gently to reduce any swelling or discomfort

At Dr Scott Allison’s clinic, we take pride in offering personalised care, expert guidance, and a high standard of safety in every procedure. Your comfort and wellbeing are our top priorities, and our team is here to support you throughout the entire process.
