Lip Contour

We know that changes around the lips are a natural part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of the lips and surrounding skin.

Our clinic can provide consultations about lip contour and the surrounding skin. During consultation, a practitioner will assess the treatment area, discuss your concerns and explain cosmetic options that may be appropriate for you.

Any change in appearance, and how noticeable it is, varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Specific medical options, including prescription-only treatments, are not advertised and, if clinically appropriate, are discussed privately during consultation with a registered health practitioner in accordance with Australian regulations.

Possible Options Discussed in Consultation

Following assessment, the practitioner may discuss non-surgical cosmetic options that may address lip contour or surrounding skin concerns.

Examples may include:

  • skin-directed treatments used in clinical settings

  • procedures that address skin structure and quality

  • skincare approaches and maintenance strategies where appropriate

The type of procedure, number of sessions and treatment timing are determined after consultation and individual assessment.

Where clinically appropriate, medical options requiring prescription may be discussed privately with a registered prescriber

Concerns That May Be Discussed in Consultation

For appropriate candidates, consultation may address concerns such as:

  • the appearance of fine lines around the lips

  • the definition of the lip border

  • mild dryness or texture changes in the surrounding skin

Any change in appearance varies between individuals and cannot be guaranteed.

Safety, Risks and Aftercare

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.

Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:

  • review your medical history, medications and relevant health information

  • examine the treatment area

  • explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed

  • discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications

Risks associated with procedures may include:

  • redness or swelling

  • dryness or peeling

  • skin sensitivity or irritation

  • pigmentation changes

  • infection or delayed healing

  • temporary muscle weakness

  • uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes

Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.

Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.

  • It generally involves assessing the lips and surrounding skin, then discussing non-surgical options that may help addressing the appearance of border definition and perioral skin quality. Where clinically appropriate, medical options (including any prescription-only treatments) are discussed privately in consultation, not advertised.

  • Comfort levels vary. Your practitioner will explain what to expect for the specific technique being considered.

  • Session length depends on the type of assessment and treatment performed. Many appointments, including consultation and procedure where appropriate, take around 20–30 minutes, but this can vary and will be confirmed at booking or consultation.

  • Certain approaches may help address the appearance of minor asymmetry, but perfect symmetry is not achievable and cannot be promised. Your practitioner will discuss what may be realistic for your anatomy.

  • In some cases, lip-contour focused treatments can be incorporated into a broader plan that includes calming or hydrating skin treatments (such as certain facials or LED), if this is considered clinically appropriate. Timing and sequencing are planned on a case-by-case basis.

  • Treatment is generally deferred if there is an active cold sore, infection, open wound, significant irritation, or other issues near the lips. Certain medical conditions, medications or allergies may also mean treatment is not recommended. Your practitioner will assess this at consultation.
