In accordance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about specific treatments online. Such information may be misinterpreted as the promotion of prescription-only (Schedule 4) medications – this is not permitted under TGA guidelines.
For this reason, a consultation with one of our practitioners is required. During your comprehensive consultation, your practitioner will carefully assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and provide education around suitable treatment options. A personalised treatment plan will then be created to address your individual needs.
Treatment costs will vary depending on your tailored plan and will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation.
The lips are an important feature in facial balance and expression. Over time, natural changes such as reduced skin elasticity, loss of hydration, and fine lines around the mouth can alter their appearance. Some people also have naturally thinner lips or asymmetry that they wish to address.
The Role of the Lips in Facial Balance
The lips are central to facial harmony, and expression. Their shape, proportion, and symmetry contribute significantly to how balanced the face appears from all angles.
Over time, several factors influence changes in the lips and surrounding skin:
- Loss of volume: The natural decline of collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat leads to thinner lips and reduced definition.
- Reduced hydration: Diminished hyaluronic acid levels cause dryness and loss of suppleness.
- Fine lines: Repetitive movements such as speaking and smiling, combined with sun exposure and lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking), lead to fine perioral lines.
- Structural changes: Ageing affects the supporting bone and soft tissue, reducing projection and lip border definition.
- Some individuals also have naturally smaller or asymmetrical lips and seek subtle improvement for better balance and proportion.
Why people consider lip augmentation:
Lip augmentation treatments are highly individualised and can address a range of aesthetic goals.
Common reasons people consider this treatment include:
- Reduced hydration and volume with age
- Fine lines around the mouth (sometimes called “smoker’s lines”)
- Asymmetry or imbalance between upper and lower lips
- Desire for subtle enhancement of shape or definition
Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, and outcomes vary depending on anatomy, product choice, and technique.
