Forget about Trout Pout - New Age Lips

As illustrated in a previous blog post - your mouth is a very prominent feature of your face – after your eyes – it’s important you keep a head of lip wrinkles, loss of volume and sagging as these problems develop.

 I use a holistic approach to restoring volume and revitalizing your lips as well as individualizing all our treatments to your needs. Smooth, soft, hydrated ,naturally- shaped lips and a firm, wrinkle free, mouth are key to a more youthful, refreshed face.

Using the most clinically studied Hyaluronic Acid Dermal filler in the world I can augment your lips , boost the curve of your Cupid ’s bow and re-shape your lips to give you a soft, perfect pout. No Trout Pout or Dreaded Duck Lip –  trust us to sculpt and plump your lips to perfection.

By injecting tiny amounts of non-animal based, stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) into lips, our treatment gives you the opportunity to temporarily halt or even reverse the aging process by restoring volume and elasticity where you need it most. After one short treatment, the lip is naturally ‘plumped up’, the appearance of lines and wrinkles are diminished and there is a marked improvement in suppleness. NASHA Dermal fillers are safe and long lasting and  provide a youthful lift to your appearance and an invaluable boost to your confidence.

To further enhance the lips fine lines are smoothed and softened by an innovative treatment from Restylane – The Restylane Vital Light Pen Injector. This treatment restores the skin’s hydro balance and softens the “bar-coded” look otherwise known as Smoker’s Lines.

In addition to enhancing the lip and the skin around the lip with dermal fillers , neuromodulators like Botox™ can be used to lift the corners of a down-turned mouth as well as to relax a tight, wrinkly chin (this can affect the appearance of the lower lip)

I AVOID doing this!

oh no!

Before lip Faux Pas

Tarina Patel , South- African -model-turned -Bollywood-actress, although very pretty she has a made a major faux pas with her lip augmentation. Hopefully it was done with  temporary gold-standard,well-researched hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane or Juvaderm.

I favour the Paris Lip technique where the Cupid's Bow and Lip Shape is accentuated and if you want that whole Miami Beach Look remember less is more. Sexy ,Pouty Bee-stung lips are not everted and carp-like.

But how amazing is her 2011 Voila Cover
Love this !

Don't let it happen to you! Avoid trout pout!

Full, luscious lips are the hallmark of youth and sensuality. There's just something alluring about them. Lip augmentations are one of my favourite procedures

My Luscious Lotus Lip Augmentation© using non-animal origin, stabilized hyaluronic acid, namely the über -filler Restylane sculpts and plumps your lips to pure perfection.

 My Cinderella Lip Treatment – using Bacterostatic saline or a non-cross linked Hyaluronic acid filler - this look lasts up to 48 hours (2 weeks if the HA non-cross linked filler is used) and no, once it wears off you won't turn into a pumpkin. This treatment gives you a preview if you’re a bit nervous to try Restylane right away

As tempting as it is to plump them up, the best is to start small to avoid looking like a carp. Please do not insist on obliterating your cupids bow- it may look hot on Bridget Bardot sometimes but it really isn’t very attractive. Bee-stung is hot, looking like a carp is not.

Tarina Patel's Mishap



Tarina Patel - over-filled upper lip





Tarina. It's best not to have an augmnentation on the day of a big event or even the day before. The swelling can be unpredictable and asymmetrical.




Natural results with Restylane





The Golden proportion- do not over-plump your top lip. Some people naturally have a fuller upper lip
or an upper lip that is a bit larger than the lower lip. This must be kept in mind when doing a lip augmentations.
As well as the patient's other features.
