What lip augmentation can address

The lips are one of the most expressive features of the face and one of the most individual. A good lip treatment is not about following a trend or a template. It is about understanding what your lips look like now and what a proportionate improvement would be for your specific face.

Lip augmentation can address lip volume, the definition of the lip border, the shape and symmetry of the lips, and the balance between the upper and lower lip. The appropriate approach depends on the individual anatomy, which a doctor will assess at consultation.

Volume

Adding fullness to the body of the lip, can make the lips appear larger. This can be applied to both lips, to just the upper lip, or with different amounts in each to restore or create proportion.

Definition

Refining the border between the lip and the surrounding skin, which can give the lip a cleaner, more distinct outline. This is often the change that reads as the most natural, as it can create the appearance of fuller lips without significantly increasing the size.

Shape

Shape work can address the curve of the lip, the projection of the cupid’s bow, the height of the upper lip and the balance between the upper and lower lip.

Lip augmentation vs lip flip

Lip augmentation adds physical volume to the lip tissue. A lip flip is a different treatment that relaxes the muscle around the upper lip so it rolls outward, making more of the existing lip visible without adding any size. If you are unsure which suits your goal, your doctor will assess this at consultation. Both treatments are available at M1 Med Beauty.

Common questions about lip augmentation

  • What does lip augmentation involve?

    +

    Lip augmentation at M1 Med Beauty is a doctor-performed treatment that places volume into the lips to address their size, shape or definition. The doctor assesses your lip anatomy and the proportions of your face, then places volume at specific points to achieve the most natural-looking result. The treatment is precise and targeted, not a blanket fill. It is temporary, and results typically last up to eight months.

  • How much volume is right for my lips?

    +

    This varies from person to person and depends on your existing lip size, the proportions of your face and what you are trying to achieve. There is no standard amount that is right for everyone. More is not always better, and the most natural-looking results often involve less volume than patients initially expect. Your doctor will discuss this honestly at consultation and recommend what is proportionate for your face, not what is the maximum that could be placed.

  • How long does lip augmentation last?

    +

    Results typically last up to eight months. The lips are an active area, involving constant movement from eating, talking and expression, which means the treatment breaks down a little faster than in areas with less movement. Your doctor will advise on timing at your consultation.

  • What is the difference between lip augmentation and a lip flip?

    +

    Lip augmentation involves the placement of volume into the lips and may influence the appearance of lip size, shape and definition.
    A lip flip is a muscle-relaxing treatment that reduces activity in the muscles around the upper lip, which may influence how much of the lip is visible when at rest or in motion, without adding volume.
    Your doctor will assess which approach may be appropriate for your anatomy during consultation.
