For many people a fuller and more sensuous lip is a desired enhancement. With “The Jewel’s Lip Enhancement treatment,” you can enjoy a more pronounced mouth or a soft pouting look with the body’s own material.

Hyaluronic Acid is the Secret
In humans Hyaluronic Acid is the substance that creates volume in ones face, giving it a healthy, young appearance. You can imagine what Hyaluronic acid does for a face when you consider the rounded face of a child, which forms into adulthood, and eventually recedes toward the skull causing furrow lines. When these are augmented by Hyaluronic Acid, this crystal clear Hyaluronic acid combines with your own to revitalize the face.

How do fillers work?
The filler creates volume for the treatment of lips. lines, wrinkles and facial folds. It’s results are immediate.

How long do the treatments take?
The treatment is immediate and takes approximately 30 minutes.

Does it Hurt?
The clinic recommends a non injectable analgesic (methoxyflurane pain relief) and local anaesthetic creams and injections can be used to minimise pain

How long does it last?
Lip Enhancement lasts up to one year, depending on the area being treated, the depth of the lines, the condition of the skin and the lifestyle of the individual. Most people return at 6 – 9 months for a topup.

How to achieve the pout?
Lip enhancement can be carried out in two steps; pouting and contouring. To create a more pronounced mouth and fuller lips, It is injected into the inside of the upper and/or lower lip. This is often combined with the marking of the contour of the lip by injecting the gel along the lip line. Redefining this edge leads to a more youthful and appealing look. It also prevents lipstick “bleeding” into the small lines around the lips. The lines that go up towards the nose (philtrum ridges) can be defined by injecting the gel into them. To achieve the optimal result, a combination of these steps is often used. When treating the lips, pain relief in the form of local anaesthesia is often used.

Possible side effects
The side effects of the treatment may include swelling, redness and occasional bruising. Swelling is the most likely effect because it attracts the bodies own water to the area. Other side effects may include minor lumps, itching or tenderness, which usually resolve quickly. After treatment you may have slightly pinker skin and some swelling.

What will I look like if I decide against further treatment? Will I be more wrinkled?
The skin will return to its original state prior to treatment if you decide against further treatments.

Can I go straight back to work after treatment?
Yes but for the first treatment it is probably better to schedule your appointment for the end of the day and preferably the end of the week.

Do you require a test injection?
There are no pretests.

Recent tests prove that Injections with “dermal fillers” containing hyaluronic acid appear to stimulate production of collagen, a primary protein in the skin, and may partially restore the structure of sun-damaged skin

Research and Asian patients describe considerable differences between Asian and Western cosmetic surgery.

These differences are not merely structural, but cultural and psychological factors define a difference in the requirements in the Asian community.

I understand the importance of maintaining the appearance of the Asian community, and even sub-groups of this community.

Generally, Asian patients wish to look more beautiful as Asians.

There are a number of procedures which the Asian community generally seek information on:

- Eye surgery
- Breast surgery
- Nasal surgery
- Body sculpting
- Facial pigmentation

Asian Beauty

The concept of beauty crosses cultural barriers. Beauty may be difficult to define but when present is recognised as features that attracts you and fills you with joy when you look at it. This visible beauty, consists of balance with the added elements of beauty in colour.

I now provide a brief description of how the clinic can assist in these areas.

A Beautiful Asian Nose

An appreciation of the Asian concept of beauty is essential to create a beautiful Asian nose. An enhanced nose should appear natural, balanced and harmonious with the patient’s overall Asian facial structure.

A surgeon’s aesthetic sense, imagination, creativity, and empirical analysis is necessary to style the nose that fits your face.

Computer Technology Provides More Reliable Results

At the clinic you can choose the style of nose you prefer prior to the surgery, … such is the sophistication of the assessment protocols designed to achieve your final appearance. Computer enhancement ensures benefits in education and quality of result.

Computer analysis performed by the surgeon is optimal. The surgeon can insure the changes are both aesthetically appropriate and indeed possible.

In Conclusion

A beautiful nose should be symmetrical and well proportioned to the face. The ideally beautiful Asian nose should fit the Asian face.

Aesthetic Eyelid Creation

The Asian eye often has no visible fold. The essential goal of Asian eye improvement is a double eyelid conforming to an individual’s concept of beauty.

The level of the new skin fold is one of personal preference. How much lid do you think is attractive?
