Lip Volume Treatment Melbourne

Reasons to seek lip volume treatment

Everyone has unique facial features and contours, as well as cosmetic goals and ideals. Therefore, there are many reasons why a person may seek cosmetic treatment for lips or other facial areas.

Commonly, men or women may seek lip volume treatment due to aesthetic concerns. These concerns can stem from dissatisfaction with the shape or size of one’s natural lips. In other cases, it could be an issue that has developed over a span of time due to the ageing process. This is because a loss of volume is one of the most common ageing signs, and many people notice a thinning of the lips as their faces age.

The most common reasons for pursuing lip treatment for volume loss include concerns about:

• Lip asymmetry
• Lack of balance or proportion
• Naturally slim lips
• Thinning lips due to ageing
• Wrinkles around the lips

It is possible to treat these concerns with lip volume treatment. Additionally, a potential benefit of this treatment option is that it is generally temporary. This means that you can re-assess your lip volume and adjust your treatment plan in the future if you so choose. However, you should weigh these benefits against the risks and be careful to keep your expectations realistic. Ask Dr Ed Omarjee about the potential benefits and risks in your case.

Candidates for treatment

The DOC clinic’s staff will need to determine whether you are a good candidate to determine whether the treatment may benefit you. We can do this by having a one-on-one discussion with you about your goals.

Candidates for this procedure are generally in good health. It is a good idea to quit smoking in the lead-up to your procedure, as smoking slows down your body’s healing process. You should also have a healthy diet and lifestyle. Additionally, candidates have a positive and realistic outlook, and understand the aftercare and risks involved in the procedure. You can discuss these things with your practitioner at The DOC clinic.

To find out whether you are a candidate, you will need to consult with a professional.

Consultation

Your consultation is a vital part of your treatment planning process. This is where you discuss with your practitioner what you wish to gain from the procedure, as well as ask any questions. You should ask questions such as: what will my lips look like? What are the risks? And what does the aftercare process involve? Dr Ed Omarjee will be able to provide answers in addition to any other relevant details about your desired treatment.

Not only does the consultation provide you with the answers you need, but it also gives your practitioner the necessary information about you. We will need to know about your expectations, past treatments, and any relevant lifestyle habits like smoking status. You should also let us know if you suffer from any medical issues that could impact the success of your procedure. This way, we can determine whether you are a good candidate and proceed to planning your lip volume treatment. Book your private consultation at The DOC clinic to speak with us about your cosmetic desires.

Procedure

When Dr Ed Omarjee has determined that the procedure is suitable for you, you can go ahead with scheduling your treatment. Depending on your exact treatment areas, the treatment process typically does not take longer than 30 minutes.

Dr Omarjee may apply a numbing to your treatment area in order to help you feel comfortable. He will then apply the treatment to your upper lip, lower lip, or both, careful to target the areas you are concerned about. He may also be able to target other facial areas, if this is part of your treatment plan, such as the cheeks or tear troughs. It is typical that patients tolerate the feeling of the procedure well. Afterwards, be aware that some amount of swelling will impede you from seeing the results straight away. This means you will need to adhere to any aftercare instructions to help your body process the treatment and reduce the swelling.

Aftercare for lip volume treatment

Side effects such as swelling, bruising, lumps, and mild pain around the treated areas are typical and should not cause alarm. You can treat these side effects and help avoid complications by following the guidelines for your aftercare. Typical aftercare instructions might include the following:

• Avoid rubbing or irritating the treated sites
• Sleep with your head in a slightly upright position
• Stay hydrated and eat a healthy, balanced diet
• Avoid drinking alcohol, as this has negative impacts on the healing process
• Avoid Aspirin and other medicines that thin the blood
• Use a cold compress to aid in the reduction of swelling
• Avoid smoking, as this habit reduces your body’s healing ability
• Avoid exercise, saunas, and steam rooms

Remember to be patient with your body during this process. In most cases, patients’ treatment areas heal on their own with time and patience. Therefore, if you are getting lip volume treatment for an event, you should anticipate the side effects and prepare enough in advance. You should also take time away from work if it involves strenuous or physically demanding tasks.

Be sure to contact us if any concerns arise, and Dr Ed Omarjee will provide you with further guidance should you need it.

Cost of lip contouring treatment in Melbourne

If you are planning to get lip volume treatment, you will need to be prepared to cover the costs. The procedure is cosmetic in nature – meaning it is done for aesthetic reasons, not for reasons of any medical need. As a result, it is unlikely that Medicare and private insurance will provide any assistance. You will need to be prepared to pay for the treatment out-of-pocket.

When you arrive for your consultation, this is one of the things we will discuss. Costs can vary based on a number of personal factors, such as your desired treatment areas. It can also depend on the size of your treatment areas, aesthetic goals, and other details about your procedure. If your desired results require a more extensive procedure, then this might increase your costs. Also, if you desire to target other areas for volume treatment, such as the cheeks or chin, this may also raise the total cost.

Be conscious that lip volume treatment is temporary. This means that in order to maintain the outcomes, you may elect to have more volume procedures in the future. Therefore, an ongoing treatment plan may affect your costs over time.

Risks and complications

Normal side effects of lip volume treatment (swelling and bruising) are not a cause for concern. Your body will need time to resolve these side effects, which usually happens within a couple of weeks. However, if these symptoms extend beyond a normal length of time, or if they are severe in nature, get in touch with a medical professional.

In rare instances, procedures such as lip volume treatment can have adverse effects. It’s important for every patient to know the risks before they consent to their procedure. This is because knowing the risks helps patients to feel informed and educated when making their decision. The risks of lip volume treatment include:

• Persistent pain and swelling
• Lumps that do not go away
• Vascular occlusion
• Infection
• Poor or unwanted results
• Asymmetry
• Allergic reaction

Our team at The DOC aim to provide each patient with the care they need both before and after their volume treatment. Contact us if you have any post-procedure concerns and we will be happy to advise you further.
