When people hear the words lip enhancement they think of very big pouting lips. However the vast majority of women, simply want a tasteful filling or return in balance for natural looking lips.
1.Will I End Up With Big Pouting Lips.
No, well not unless you want to. Some women have faces that suit powerful pouting lips, however the vast majority of women who get lip enhancements simply want fuller natural looking lips with more balance and definition. The choice is yours. And the product we use will depend on what you want to achieve with your lips.
2. What Is The Best Dermal Filler For Lip Enhancements?
There is no one choice of product. The best product will depend on what you want to achieve with your lips. It is best to discuss what you want with us and we will be able to advise you what products will achieve the lip shape you desire.
3. How Long Does A Lip Enhancements Last?
How long a dermal filler will last in your lips depends on many factors, one of which is the product used. Some products last around 6 months and some newer products last 12months or longer.However this can be very individual and factors such as how active you are, how much movement your lips get and whether you smoke will all impact on how long the fillers will last.
Email us if you want to know more about specific products.
Frustratingly, with TGA regulations in Australia, it is illegal for us to name any lip filler injections on our website. They are class S4 medications to be administered by a Doctor or Nurse with training. They have TGA approval for cosmetic use and established safety profile.

Hi Tili, The cost for lip enhancement depends on what you want to achieve and hence what product we use. Generally it is $350- $660. On saying this the very average cost for lip enhancement is $550 ( that is what the vast majority of women need) You can be of any age, usually we would consider 18 ok for you to make your own decision on lip enhancement, but not younger than this. The products are quite safe and naturally occur in the skin.
We give free consultations for assessment, so you should book in and we can discuss what you are hoping to achieve with your lips and we can give more accurate prices.

Hi I am wanting lip augmentation. I am not worried about big lips, in fact that is the look I want. I have had augmentation once before, and the results where ok, however I really liked the look when they were still swollen, once that went down after a couple of weeks, I was quite disappointed. I do not like the sound of the permanent fillers, but really I do want something that lasts more than a couple of weeks. What could have caused this problem and how can I get really full lips that will last. (I am realistic, I am happy if they last 6- 12 months but two weeks was really a let down.) Simone

Hi Simone,
Lip augmentation is a term I usually apply to surgical enhancement of the lips, however this is just for your information because many people interchange the terms lip augmentation with lip enhancement.
Back to a solution, we need to find out what product you had the first time, so I will email you for details but I can probably hazard a guess, some products give swelling immediately after injection and so, like you, many women get home after their lip augmentation or enhancement thinking they have the volume they desire only to have it disappear. There are a couple of issues we need to look at to combat this.
1. The product chosen: there are specialised products that are suitable for really full lips, not permanent but longer lasting. The general lip enhancement products will give a rejuvenation or balancing, say correct a thin upper lip but not necessarily give real fullness and this is really what the majority of women and men want with lip enhancement.
2. The other issues could be about the volume required: if you truly want a big pout, you may be a two syringe lip girl. If your natural lips have some width and you want to get them really full one syringe may not quite cut it.
The best thing is to come in: ask for Dr Victoria Timchik when you book and get her to go over things with you. She is a master at lip enhancement or augmentation and helping people achieve the outcome they want. Call us on 33505447

I am really interested in getting the injections in my top lip only as my bottom lip is naturally quite full. What would the estimated price be? And is it extremely painful?

Hi Jaquie the cost for lip enhancement varies between around $350 and $660. We would generally advise against just getting filler injections into the top lip, however there is no rule about this. We would need to assess your lips and find out what you want to achieve, as long as we are positive the outcome will be balanced it is possible.
Lip enhancement is not painful because we use very good anaelgesia. The best thing if you are interested in finding out about lip fillers and injections and what is possible is to book in for a free clinical evaluation with one of our Doctors. Dr Victoria Timchik works with us and she is very good with lip enhancement.
