Luscious Lips

Patient: I want my my lips to be full and luscious. What do you recommend?

Aging of the lips has been described in my prevous post. 

Now, we shall now focus on what we can actually do to achieve the end result - Luscious Lips! 

If the main defect is on the red lips, dermal fillers specific to lips are a good option. However, it is important to make sure that other areas have been addressed such as the teeth, upper white lip, skin quality before jumping to lip fillers. 

Steps to Luscious Lips

1. Consultation & Evaluation​
- A thorough evaluation should be conducted by your doctor before the procedure to determine which areas will give you the best results.
- If other aging mechanisms are present, the use of other modalities should be considered. 
- Failure to do so will usually result in a duck lip where fillers are placed in the wrong place, giving a poor result. 

2. Numbing Preprocedure
- Numbing cream is applied to achieve comfort for the actual procedure.

3. Luscious Lips Filler Procedure
- Depending on what ratios you are keen to achieve, fillers are then used in the respective planes and areas to give the final Luscious Lips result.
