Ms. Shalini Rao, a 34-year-old marketing executive, was unhappy with the shape and volume of her lips. Despite her youthful appearance, she felt that her thin lips made her look older and less expressive. Shalini had tried lip balms and other cosmetic products but was seeking a more permanent solution to achieve fuller, well-defined lips without undergoing surgery.

“I’ve always wanted fuller, more defined lips. I didn’t want surgery, but I also didn’t want to look overdone. Dr. Anju explained the treatment, and I felt comfortable knowing I could achieve natural results,” Shalini shared.

While Shalini did not have any underlying medical conditions, she presented with:

• Thin upper and lower lips
• Lack of definition along the lip borders
• Desire for a more balanced, youthful, and natural lip contour
• Mild asymmetry in lip shape, affecting facial harmony

To determine the best approach for Shalini’s lip reshaping, Dr. Anju Methil performed a detailed facial evaluation:

• Facial Proportions Analysis: Ensured that Shalini’s lips were in harmony with her facial features and overall proportions.
• Lip Symmetry Check: Focused on the natural symmetry of Shalini’s lips and identified the areas where volume restoration and definition were needed.
• Medical History Review: Examined Shalini’s medical history to ensure compatibility with injectable treatments, such as dermal fillers.

Shalini did not have any underlying disease or condition. However, the primary concern was:

• Lip Asymmetry & Thinness: Natural thinness of the lips affecting overall facial aesthetics.
• Loss of Lip Definition: Lack of distinct lip contours, making the lips appear less youthful.

Dr. Anju recommended dermal filler injections for non-surgical lip reshaping to restore volume and improve lip definition.

Dr. Anju Methil designed a customized treatment plan for Shalini using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, a safe and effective method for non-surgical lip reshaping. The treatment included:

• Targeted Dermal Filler Injections: Carefully injected into the lips to enhance volume, define the borders, and improve symmetry.
• Subtle Volume Restoration: Focused on creating a fuller look without overfilling, ensuring a natural and balanced result.
• Precise Technique: Anju used her expertise to ensure that the lip shape complemented Shalini’s overall facial structure and features.

Post-Treatment Guidelines:

• Ice Application: Apply ice packs on the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort in the first 24-48 hours.
• Avoid Lip Movement: Refrain from excessive facial movements or massaging the treated area for 48 hours to avoid complications.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to promote healing and maintain the results.
• Gentle Skincare: Use a mild skincare routine to avoid irritation in the treated areas.
• Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups were scheduled to monitor the results and make any necessary touch-ups.

After undergoing her lip reshaping treatment, Shalini experienced significant improvements:

• Fuller, More Defined Lips: The upper and lower lips were enhanced, creating a harmonious balance with her facial features.
• Improved Lip Symmetry: The treatment effectively corrected the asymmetry in her lips, making them appear more even and youthful.
• Natural-Looking Results: The fillers provided a subtle volume boost, giving Shalini a fuller, yet natural lip appearance, without looking “overdone.”
• No Downtime: Shalini was able to resume her daily activities immediately post-treatment without any visible signs of recovery.

“I’m absolutely thrilled with how my lips look! They’re fuller and more defined, but still look completely natural. Dr. Anju really understood what I wanted, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.” – Shalini Rao

Shalini’s lip reshaping results are expected to last 6-12 months, depending on individual factors. To maintain the fullness and definition, periodic touch-ups are recommended.

• Collagen Stimulation: The hyaluronic acid in the fillers helps to stimulate collagen production, which can provide long-term skin benefits.
• Maintenance: Shalini can opt for additional treatments as needed to maintain her desired lip shape and volume.

“I’m excited to see how my lips continue to look over the next few months. I’m definitely coming back for follow-ups to keep them looking fresh!” – Shalini Rao

“Dr. Anju was so thorough and professional. She explained the entire process and made me feel at ease throughout. The results are beyond my expectations — my lips look fuller, defined, and natural. I’m so glad I chose this treatment over surgery!” – Shalini Rao
