Lips fulfil multiple functions: we use them for eating and drinking as well as to communicate our emotions. Lips can communicate verbally and of course non verbally. Due to the rich supply with nerve endings lips are extremely tactile and serve as a sensory organ and erogenous zone. Research shows that women with higher level of the hormone oestrogen have large eyes , a small nose and full lips which, together with delicate features, is regarded as a feminine look. Ageing effect on lips: as with age lips become thinner and the philtrum and cupids bow looses definition and the lips become inverted. Options to enhance the lips are: increasing lip height, augmenting the philtrum, re shaping the cupids bow and re-define the lip contours. All of these features can be achieved with dermal fillers.

Unfortunately one of the biggest problems with lip augmentations is that they can potentially create unnatural looking lips. 'Trout Pout' and 'Rubber Tyre' Lips are frequently seen. Good Treatment should ensure that the proportions of the lips are in harmony with the size and shape of the face.
