What is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is designed to enhance lip volume and definition for people with naturally thin lips or lips that have become thinner or more wrinkled with age.
Whether you are looking to refine your nasal tip, reduce a dorsal hump, correct asymmetry, or improve airflow, Dr. Karan Shetty tailors each surgery to your specific anatomy and aesthetic goals - using advanced 3D imaging (Crisalix) to help you visualise outcomes before the first incision is made.
