Consultations on non-surgical options for enhancing the shape and volume of the lips.
About the procedure
What this procedure involves
This page is about consultations on enhancing the shape, definition and volume of the lips. Because treatments in this area involve prescription-only medicines, Australian regulations do not permit specific products or treatment types to be named or advertised, so what may suit you is discussed at an individual consultation. Dr Jassim Daood assesses suitability at the Bankstown clinic, and any treatment decision is made only after that assessment.
Recovery
The lips usually swell for a few days after treatment and can bruise, so the early appearance is not the final result. Most people return to everyday activities the same day. Specific aftercare instructions are provided, and a review can be arranged once the swelling has settled.

People consider lip augmentation for thinning lips, asymmetry, loss of definition or a wish for more volume. A consultation begins with an assessment of your lips at rest and in movement, the balance of your facial features, your medical history and what you hope to change.
Dr Daood then discusses whether a non-surgical approach may be appropriate, what a natural-looking change involves, and the alternatives, including no treatment. Realistic expectations are an important part of this discussion.
