The Subtle Art of Lip Fillers

Lip Enhancement

Lip enhancement fillers are now one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the UK and fairly often appear in the media due to their popularity with certain celebrities. According to a 2014 survey, 63% of 1,000 women would like fuller lips, yet 78% say they would avoid lip fillers for reasons including aesthetics, health and cost. However, lip filler doesn't have to look overdone and those concerned about the 'trout pout' can be reassured that in the right hands, the careful addition of volume can make the lips look fuller and shapelier while remaining entirely natural-looking. Lip filler works on a very simple principle, which is the addition of volume to increase the lips. Yet there is a fine line between full lips which look attractive, glamorous and sexy vs overfilled lips which look fake and odd.

The Subtle Art of Lip Enhancement

A more subtle approach reveals that it can give significant aesthetic improvement in a number of subtle areas, including:

Extending the border of the lips for a fuller look
Create a curvier, more shapely lip
Improve the profile/projection of lips for a subtle and attractive pout
Address any imbalances such as an out of proportion top or bottom lip
Smooth out ageing lip wrinkles - such as smokers' lines
Lift mouth corners, correcting a 'sad mouth' and adding positivity to the face
Creating a cupid's bow

The lips are the focal point of the face and naturally draw the eye, so making the most of them can lift the whole look of a person's face. For subtle, beautiful and flattering results, patients should choose a practitioner who is skilled and proficient in lip shaping using the very latest dermal fillers. Dr John Tanqueray at Mulberry House Clinic based in Hardingstone near Northampton has an excellent reputation for providing natural-looking yet beautiful lip enhancement treatments using the very latest lip filler products, including Juvéderm® VOLBELLA, an advanced product formulated to increase lip fullness and soften the appearance of "smoker's lines" around the mouth.
