Many people who want a change to their lips are looking for something subtle. For some, the upper lip looks thin or tucks under when they smile, and a subtle approach is enough. It's a low-key option that suits some people and not others.
A subtle change, or more volume?
This approach and adding lip volume are different things. Some people are better suited to one, and some to the other. That's what an assessment is for.
How it's approached
Because the effect is deliberately subtle, careful assessment and honest discussion beforehand matter. We'll talk through what you're hoping for and which approach is the best fit.
- A subtle change is the aim, so you still look like you
- Deliberately understated by design
- Assessed individually against your goals
- Considered alongside lip volume where relevant
Assessed, not assumed
