What is lip volume perfection
Lip volume perfection is designed to enhance the fullness, shape, and definition of the lips. This is typically achieved through the injection of dermal fillers, commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. Additionally, small amounts of botulinum toxin can be injected into the orbicularis oris muscle to further enhance lip volume and shape. The procedure involves carefully injecting these substances into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired volume and contour. Results are immediate and can last from six months to a year, depending on the type of treatment used.
Is lip perfection for me?
Lip volume perfection may be suitable for you if you desire fuller, more defined lips. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and seek enhancement of lip shape and volume. This procedure can address thin or uneven lips and improve their overall appearance. Both dermal fillers and botulinum toxin injections are minimally invasive options that offer immediate results.
During the procedure
During lip volume perfection, the area is cleansed first. If dermal fillers are used, small amounts of hyaluronic acid-based filler are injected into specific areas of the lips to add volume and shape. If botulinum toxin is also used, tiny amounts are injected into the orbicularis oris muscle to enhance lip definition. The entire procedure typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. After the injections, the lips may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution of the filler. There is minimal downtime, and results are immediate.
