LIP AUGMENTATION
We will only use premium brand lip fillers. We will choose the brand of filler based on your desired result, this will be discussed during the consultation. Lip filler can be used to restore volume loss, plump, define, create a fuller lip or rejuvenate the mouth area. Typically lasts 6- 12 months.
Have a look at our gallery for some before and after photos.
