Adding volume to the lips has an instant anti-ageing effect!

When deciding which lip shape is ideal for you, it is important to take face shape and facial symmetry into consideration. One may also take personality and what ‘vibe’ you are looking to accentuate.

Keep in mind that adding volume to the lips has an instant anti-ageing effect which may also inform your choices. Work with Dr Clark to achieve your easiest makeover yet, with personally determined beautifully shaped lips that enhance your appearance.

Types of Lips for Differently Shaped Faces

Full Lips: Well-defined lips go well with square or oval shaped faces as they balance strong features. They also complement bold features and exotic beauty and work to maintain balance.

Thinner Lips: A good choice for a heart-shaped face that already boasts plenty of definition.

Shapelier Lips: These go well with a rectangular face as they add contour and soften.

Pouty Lips: These lips are full on the top and bottom. They are ideal on a diamond shaped face as they offset a narrow forehead.

Achieving Desired Lip Shape

Injectables are the tried and true method of altering lip shape.

Dr Clark refuses to support the cut-&-paste mentality, instead he chooses to focus on ‘your-look’, not ‘a-look’. This principle accentuates and beautifies an aesthetic that is truly your own.
