Lip & Peri-Oral Enhancements
Lip filler treatments with Dr Shabri are understated, subtle enhancements, done in a subtle and discrete way, using only the highest quality hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to replace lost lip volume to restore, define and hydrate the lips, with perfectly natural results.
How It Works
As we age, our skin loses collagen, hydration, elasticity and support. We also lose hyaluronic acid, which holds water in the skin and tissues of the lips. The moist, plump appearance of youth gives way to dry, thin lips with fine lines developing around the mouth.
Additionally, the downward movement of the midface, including fat, muscle and skin, can result in deeper folds such as nasolabial folds (from nose to mouth corners) and marionette lines (from mouth corners to jaw). Loss of support from the underlying jaw bones, chin and dentition can also contribute to thinning lips and changes around the mouth.
Dr Shabri carefully selects and places each filler injection with intention – adapting her technique, product choice and approach to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Using a fine needle, cannula, or a combination of both, she can treat any combination of the lips, lip border, philtrum columns, cupid’s bow, corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and vertical lip lines. Every element of your treatment is considered in relation to the whole face – restoring hydration, defining contours, volume and smoothing fine lines in a way that feels natural and balanced to your face.

FAQs
Am I suitable for lip enhancement?
Lip enhancement is suitable for most adults looking to improve lip volume, shape, or definition.
Lip and peri-oral enhancement can effectively address:
- Thin Lips – Naturally fine or narrow lips lacking volume, or lips that have always been thin
- Volume Loss – Loss of fullness due to ageing
- Asymmetry – Uneven lip shape or size
- Undefined Border – Loss of definition along the lip edge
- Vertical Lip Lines – Fine lines (smoker’s lines) above the upper lip
- Nasolabial Folds – Lines running from nose to mouth corners
- Marionette Lines – Lines running from the corners of the mouth to the chin
- Downturned Corners – Corners of the mouth that turn downward, creating a sad appearance
- Lack of Hydration – Dry, depleted-looking lips
- Cupid’s Bow Definition – Flattened or undefined upper lip contour
- Overall Peri-Oral Ageing – General signs of ageing around the mouth area
Will my lips look natural?
Will it hurt?
Discomfort is minimised using dental anaesthesia and fine needles or cannula techniques to ensure a comfortable procedure.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on the product used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to sustain your desired results.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within 2–7 days. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24–48 hours following treatment to minimize swelling.
Results can be seen immediately, though the final outcome is best appreciated once any initial swelling has subsided after 1–2 weeks.
