Lip Shape and Volume
At Your Aesthetic, we understand that your lip shape and volume can be a feature you would like to stand out.
As we age, our lips can lose fullness, colour and definition. Our consultations focus on your specific lip concerns and aesthetic goals.
We firmly believe that lips should not be a distracting feature of the face. They should be kept in proportion with you natural features.
Book a consultation to find out how we can address your lip concerns.
Before and After images of previous client results can be seen in a Consultation with one of our Nurses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is lip shape treatment?

What can I expect during treatment?
During an appointment, your Nurse will discuss your goals and customise the treatment to achieve your desired results. They will do a Telehealth consultation with the doctor to get a medical prescription. They will take clinical images and then apply topical numbing cream to minimise the discomfort during the treatment. The procedure involves a series of small injections, followed by a light massage of the lips.
WHAT SIDE EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT?
During a lip shape/volume treatment, it is normal to experience some pain and bleeding, as we are using small needles. Your treatment area will likely be red afterwards, that may have bruising. All side effects are usually short-lived and should resolve as discussed in your consultation. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
