Injectable lip enhancement / augmentation involves the precise placement of natural dermal fillers into parts of the lip and surrounding skin in order to enhance, shape, or add volume to the lips and to reduce surrounding wrinkles. Lips lose volume naturally with time, and replacing this lost volume helps restore more youthful looking lips.
Creating the perfect lips often involves much more than just increasing their size. Care and attention must also be given to the surrounding skin, such as filling the fine lines that appear above and below the lip, lifting the corners of the mouth that can sag with age, or correcting the parentheses lines that commonly appear to frame the mouth at either end. Neglecting to attend to these complementary enhancements can lead to an imbalance in the overall harmony between lips and face. Read More
We aim to enhance the natural beauty of your lips, to create lips that are full and sensuous, but at the same time remain natural looking, appropriate and in proportion with the rest of your face.
First we need to find out what you want to achieve. Following this, we'll give you a frank and honest appraisal of what is possible given the raw material with which you were born. Photos will be taken to establish a baseline record of your treatment.
Anaesthetic is administered if needed. This may be a numbing cream or an injection, or both, though some fillers are now premixed with local anaesthetic and are comfortable enough without additional anaesthesia for many patients. Laughing gas is also available.

The fillers used at Heber Davis are soft, clear, biodegradable gels* that occur naturally in the body's joints and skin. These gels binds with water molecules once injected into the lips, which means they moisturize as well as plump the lips. No pre-treatment allergy testing is required with these naturally occurring lip fillers.
* Australian law prohibits publication of brand names of these lip fillers in a public forum. For those who are interested, these names can be communicated via a personal email. Feel free to Contact Us for this information.
The results with injectable lip fillers are temporary because the body eventually breaks down and absorbs the filler. The length of time results last varies between individuals and depends on the filler used. Approximately 6-9 months can be anticipated for most patients.
For best results, lip enhancement treatment creates a balance and harmony between the lips' component parts. Depending on your lip anatomy and your goals, one of more of the following components may be enhanced:
The border of the lip - enhancement in the border of the lip instantly creates a clear edge to the lips and defines their borders in much the same way as lip liner. Augmentation of the lip border also helps to fill out the lip lines and wrinkles that cause lipstick to "bleed."
The body of the lip - one or both lips may be enhanced to create a fuller, "pouting" look, or to restore an aesthetic balance between uneven lips.
Vertical upper lip lines, or smoker's lines - softening these lines rejuvenates skin quality around the lips and reduces lipstick "bleed."
The oral commissures, or depressions at the lower corners of the mouth - With aging, gravity takes its toll and the corners of the mouth begin to sag and turn downward, leaving a persistent dour expression. Dermal fillers can help turn the corners up, instantly creating a happier more positive expression. Happier, but not "the Joker". Subtle artistry is the sign of an excellent cosmetic lip treatment.
The two ridges running from the centre of the upper lip to the nose, call the philtrum - subtle augmentation of the philtrum gives the upper lip a more sensuous shape and curve.
The Cupid's bow, in the centre of the upper lip - Accentuation of the Cupid's bow, in conjunction with augmentation of the philtrum, creates an aesthetically pleasing contour known as the "Paris Lip." This gives the impression of a shorter lip and reverses the tendency to lengthening and flattening that occurs with age.
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are some general rules that govern lip augmentation. Lips should look natural and be in proportion to the rest of your face and with each other. In general, lower lips should be 1.5 times bigger than the upper lip. Overfilling of the upper lip creates a 'trout pout' or "duck lip" that looks both unnatural and unappealing.
At Heber Davis our goal is always to enhance your natural beauty, and never to detract from it.
Though lip filling is a low risk procedure, your reaction will depend on the type of filler you choose and your ability to heal. The risks of lip augmentation are those associated with any penetration of the skin and include redness, bruising, swelling, minor discomfort, tenderness, and infection.

Occasionally, lip enhancement may cause cold sores to reappear, in which case anti-viral medication may be prescribed.
The skin will gradually return to its original state if you decide against further treatment.
Yes, but we would recommend that your first treatment be scheduled at the end of the day, or preferably at the end of the week.
