LIP MOVEMENT & UPPER LIP CONCERNS

UNDERSTANDING UPPER-LIP MOVEMENT AND FACIAL EXPRESSION

The position and appearance of the upper lip can change between rest, speaking and smiling.

This movement varies naturally between individuals and is influenced by facial anatomy, muscle activity and the relationship between the lips and surrounding structures.

​

WHAT INFLUENCES UPPER-LIP MOVEMENT?

The appearance of the upper lip can be influenced by:

• Individual lip anatomy

• Muscle movement

• Lip proportions

• Dental anatomy

• Facial expression

• Lip-to-chin relationship

• Natural asymmetry

 

MOVEMENT, SHAPE & PROPORTION

Upper-lip movement should be considered separately from concerns relating to lip volume.

​

During consultation, I assess your lips both at rest and during facial movement and consider their relationship with surrounding facial features.

​

YOUR CONSULTATION

Your anatomy, facial movement, medical history and concerns are assessed before suitable management options are discussed.

​

Individual suitability varies, and a consultation does not mean you are required to proceed with treatment.

​

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Cosmetic procedures are not suitable for everyone and carry risks and potential complications. Individual suitability, alternatives, limitations, expected recovery and relevant risks are discussed during consultation. Results and experiences vary between individuals. A consultation does not mean you are required to proceed with a procedure.
