Lip augmentation has become the most popular non surgical cosmetic treatment.
The fashion for a fuller pout is undoubtedly behind this, with young women being influenced by a celebrity culture which celebrates the lip. Think of Kylie Jenner!
In a world of Instagram Influencers where selfies rule many women are undergoing lip augmentation to achieve that perfect pout.
As one of the key features on the face, lips strongly contribute to a person’s visual attractiveness.
Full and defined lips are associated with youthfulness and therefore are much desired, especially amongst women.
Facial proportions (especially of the natural lips and lower face) must be taken into account to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
Dr. Zokaie has developed a technique of treating the cupid’s bow to help raise the lips naturally rather than injecting the lips with too much filler which makes them look heavy and swollen.
Many young women who feel the pressure to imitate this new trend are falling foul of cheap, botched jobs.
This is due to a lack of research and opting to go for cheaper treatments not performed by registered professionals in a clinical setting.
Dr. Simon Zokaie, Dermatologist and Medical Director of Linia Skin Clinic, wants you to be prepared to do these 10 things before making a safe and sensible decision about undergoing lip filler treatment.
1. Research the clinic and the practitioner.
2. Understand why you want lip filler treatment.
3. Make sure your chosen practitioner is a healthcare professional with 3 years plus experience.
4. Ensure your chosen practitioner is trained to deal with complications.
5. Go for a consultation before making your mind up.
6. Understand that results vary from patient to patient so don’t compare yours to others.
7. Leave the Kylie Jenner lip pic at home!
8. Find out how much recovery time you will need after the treatment and make sure you’re given aftercare information.
9. Remember that it pays more to pay more.
10. And lastly, accept that filler isn’t forever!
Armed with this information, you’re sure to receive a safe and successful treatment.
