Lip planning starts with the existing anatomy: the lip border, the relationship between the lips, movement when smiling and surrounding tissue. Hyaluronic acid is one option considered. Your anatomy and medical assessment guide the plan.
Who is the consultation for?
For adults seeking advice about lip shape or volume. Existing asymmetry, previous filler and a history of cold sores are relevant to the discussion.
How is this option assessed?
The consultation explores what matters to you about your lips and smile, examines the area and reviews previous treatments. Before a decision, the discussion covers possible materials, treatment limits, side effects and aftercare.
What should you discuss?
- Reference photographs can explain a preference; they are not a template for an individual result.
- Mention previous cold sores, active infection, allergies and any existing filler.
- Lips are assessed in motion and in relation to the face, as well as close up.
Limitations & risks
Swelling, tenderness, bruising, lumps, asymmetry or infection may occur. Serious filler complications include disruption of blood supply to tissue. Unusual pain, whitening or other skin colour changes, or visual symptoms need immediate medical attention.
Can I ask about a specific feature?
You can describe a preference concerning the lip border, volume or the relationship between the lips. Examination determines which options are appropriate and their limitations.
Does existing lip filler matter?
Yes. The material, injection area, date and response to previous treatment can affect planning. Bring the treatment details if they are available.
