Lip Volume & Shaping

Lip volume and shaping treatments are designed to enhance the size, shape, and definition of the lips, helping to create a more balanced and defined lip contour as part of a personalised treatment plan.

This depends on your individual concerns and goals. During a consultation, Dr Ryan will assess your lips and facial proportions to discuss whether this treatment approach may be suitable for you.

Results from lip volume and shaping treatments can last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain the desired look. 

The procedure is minimally invasive and generally well-tolerated. A topical numbing cream or local anaesthetic may be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment. Patients may feel a slight pinch or pressure, but the discomfort is typically brief. 

Recovery time is minimal. Some swelling, redness, or bruising may occur immediately after the treatment, but these effects usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure.

Good candidates are individuals who are looking to enhance their natural lip shape, add volume, or correct asymmetry. A consultation with Dr. Ryan will help determine if this treatment is suitable for you based on your aesthetic goals and medical history. 

Swelling, tenderness, redness and some bruising are very common with lip volume treatment and often peak the day after treatment before settling over a few days; small lumps usually soften within one to two weeks. Apply a cool compress gently to ease swelling and take paracetamol rather than anti-inflammatories for discomfort. For the first 24-48 hours, avoid touching or firmly pressing the lips, strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas, steam rooms, very hot drinks and very hot showers. Try not to drink through a straw, smoke, or apply lipstick for the rest of the day, and avoid kissing or other firm pressure on the lips for about 24 hours. Stay well hydrated, and avoid dental work and facials for about two weeks. Final results settle at around two weeks. Contact the team at Image Domain promptly if you notice severe or increasing pain, lips that blanch or turn dusky, or any signs of infection.
