Lip Augmentation With Dermal Filler And Permanent Makeup Creates Shape, Structure, Volume & Colour

Permanent Lip Colour Over Dermal Lip Fillers

What Is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, plumper lips. These days, an injectable dermal filler is the most commonly used method of lip augmentation with permanent makeup close second.Whilst permanent makeup will not fill the lip, it can add an optical illusion of volume by adding colour to the clients natural lip border as the natural lip colour recedes with age.There are many types of dermal fillers that can be injected in your lips and around your mouth. But the most common fillers today are products that contain substances similar to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It helps increase volume in your lips.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can improve the appearance of your lips by adding:

Shape
Structure
Volume

The effects typically last around six months. After that more injections are needed to keep the volume of your lips. Permanent Makeup improves appearance of shape, structure and lip colour.

Client’s Lip With Dermal Filler Before Having Permanent Makeup

Here we can see that the client has volume in her lips but doesn’t have a clear crisp shape and she wanted the colour subtly enhanced to give a fresh brighter and healthier look.

I Would Prefer To Work On Lips Before They Have Dermal Fillers To Get The Perfect Shape And Colour Prior To Injections.

Many women come to me wanting much larger lips, sometimes more than can be done with permanent makeup alone. Providing the client finds a reputable practitioner the combination of dermal filler and permanent makeup together can look very natural. When a client already has dermal filler the main problem they have is no definition of shape and colour around the lip border. Sometimes the tell tale sign of dermal fillers is that the filler can be seen above the clients natural lip colour and it appears to be stretched and creates a shiny white vermillion border.

Client Immediately After Permanent Makeup Over Dermal Filler.

The shape of the lips will now remain crisp and clear, however the colour will fade to a soft translucent natural lip colour similar to the first lip gloss colour on the left. This is one of the most popular colours for clients wanting a natural lip brightening effect. This colour looks great on almost every skin tone and age.

Great Combination of Dermal Fillers And Permanent Lip Colour

The client’s new shape is crisp and perfect. No tell tale signs of lip filler and she has a permanent splash of her favourite lip colour.

Although the lip colour looks very dark immediately after treatment, within 4 or 5 days the colour will soften by around 70% turning translucent and the client can just wear Vaseline to moisturise and add shine. The colour will fade gradually over the years and the client can come back for a colour booster every year or two.
