Lip Fillers
If you are considering lip fillers, make an appointment to come and see us to discuss how to achieve the look you desire. Lip enhancement can achieve stunning results, whether you are looking to make a subtle change; perhaps simply replacing the lost lip volume that happens as part of the ageing process. Or, we can also help with lip augmentation where patients are looking for a more defined, fuller result.
Our clinicians, who are highly experienced in lip augmentation and restoration techniques, will be able to advise you how best to achieve your personal requirements.
