The first thing you need to know is the fact that lips are the most used organ during the day, therefore asymmetries due to the various strengths of the muscles in that area are quite natural. Fillers can easily be applied both to fix these asymmetries and for procedures such as thickening, reshaping, or the definition of lip line.
In fact, lip shaping is a procedure that is carried out with filler and botox. However, in order to achieve a natural and harmonious appearance which does not manifest itself from miles away, one should have a solid grasp of all anatomical, muscular and vascular structures. Otherwise every lip will be similar to each other. As natural appearance will be given precedence, a follow-up examination approximately 10 days after the first application is recommended. In this way, it would be possible to both reduce the amount of filler to be applied in one session and eliminate the risk of swelling and hemorrhage, and to achieve a natural appearance through controlled procedures. We are typically in favour of creating lips that are in harmony with the patients’ mouth features and mimics.
With an examination prior to the procedure, we try to achieve an optimal shape considering the wishes, perioral proportions, smile and speech dynamics of patients. In the event of a decision towards lip shaping, this is a 10-15 minutes procedure.
