Lip Contour
Defining the natural contour of the lips with fillers
The lips play an important role in the overall appearance of the face and naturally draw attention while speaking, smiling and expressing emotions. The shape and proportions of the lips are largely genetically determined and are also influenced by the position of the teeth and the structure of the mouth.

Benefits & results
Over time, the lips gradually lose volume as part of the natural ageing process. This may cause them to appear thinner and less defined. When the lips no longer feel balanced with the rest of the face, this can contribute to a tired or older appearance.
The lip contour refers to the border between the lip itself and the surrounding skin. With a subtle filler treatment, this contour can be made more defined without necessarily adding significant volume to the lips. This may help improve the definition of the lips and soften fine lines around the mouth.
By carefully placing small amounts of filler along the border of the lips, the natural contours can be enhanced without necessarily adding much volume. This may include defining the cupid’s bow or making small adjustments to symmetry and definition. If desired, subtle volume can also be added.
During the assessment, the doctor carefully evaluates your wishes and the natural proportions of the face to determine whether contour treatment is appropriate and how much filler may be suitable.
