The Coco Ruby Skin Team consists of an Aesthetic Physician, a Dermal Clinician, as well as several Senior Nurses with extensive experience. We offer both lip volume and facial volume treatments at our Clinic in Melbourne.
Lip Volume-Adding Treatments
- Volume-adding treatments focused on the lips are the most common and popular method for lip augmentation. There are a variety of types available, which can be discussed in more detail during your consultations.
- The treatment is placed into the lips in small amounts to create the desired volume and shape.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced Dermal Clinician to discuss your goals, understand the options available, and determine which approach is best for you. Lip augmentation treatments can be an effective way to adjust the appearance of your lips but like any cosmetic procedure, they come with potential risks and considerations that should be thoroughly discussed with your healthcare provider.
Am I a Good Candidate For Lip Augmentation Treatments
Generally good candidates for Lip Augmentation Treatments include;
- Individuals with Thin Lips: People with naturally thin lips who want to increase the volume of their lips often seek lip volume treatments.
- Those with Age-Related Volume Loss: As we age it is common for the lips to lose volume and appear thinner. Lip treatments can help to add volume.
- People with Asymmetrical Lips: Lip treatments can be used to address asymmetry.
- Patients Seeking Temporary Results: Lip volume treatments are not permanent, and the effects typically last several months to a year or more, depending on the specific product used. Good candidates should be comfortable with temporary results and may choose to maintain the look with periodic treatments.
- Realistic Expectations: Good candidates understand that lip treatments can make changes to the lips but may not achieve a particular aesthetic ideal. They should have realistic expectations about the results.
- Non-Smokers: Smoking can affect the healing process and the longevity of treatment results. Some providers may recommend quitting or at least avoiding smoking around the time of the procedure.
- Not Pregnant or Breastfeeding: It’s generally advisable to avoid elective cosmetic procedures, including lip volume treatments, during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
What are the Risks and Complications Of Lip Augmentation Treatments?
While lip volume treatments have become a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure, like any medical treatment they come with potential risks and complications. It is important to be aware of these and discuss them with your healthcare provider before deciding to undergo lip volume treatments. Some of the risks and complications associated with lip treatments include:
Bruising and Swelling: It is common to experience temporary bruising and swelling at the treatment areas. These side effects usually subside within a few days to a week.
Pain and Discomfort: You may experience some pain or discomfort during and after the treatment. The procedure may feel slightly uncomfortable, but it is generally tolerable.
Infection: While infections are rare, there is a risk of infection at the treatment area. This is why it’s important to ensure that the procedure is performed in a clean and sterile environment.
Lumps and Bumps: Occasionally, the treatment can clump or create small bumps under the skin. These can usually be addressed out by your healthcare provider.
Allergic Reactions: Although allergic reactions to these treatments are rare, they can occur. This is more likely with certain types of treatments, which can be discussed in more detail during your consultation.
Asymmetry: Achieving perfect symmetry can be challenging, and some degree of asymmetry may occur.
Over-adjusting: Over-volumising the lips can result in an unnatural and exaggerated appearance. It is essential to work with an experienced provider who understands how to achieve balanced and aesthetically pleasing results.
Migration: In some cases, the treatment material may migrate or move from the treatment site to another area of the face.
