Lip Consultation Melbourne, Oakleigh

A lip consultation at Core Aesthetics covers the full spectrum of lip treatment options available at the clinic. Rather than arriving with a specific product or technique already decided, the consultation lets Corey assess your individual lip anatomy and determine what is most clinically appropriate for your goals. The result is a recommendation grounded in your actual lips rather than a trend or a technique that works on someone else’s face.

All lip consultations at Core Aesthetics are conducted by Corey Anderson, AHPRA registered nurse (NMW0001047575, registered since January 1996), the sole treating practitioner at the clinic.

Lip Treatment Options Discussed at Core Aesthetics

Lip filler uses prescription hyaluronic acid based dermal filler placed within or beneath the lip tissue to refine shape, improve definition, address asymmetry or restore volume. It is the most versatile lip treatment option and the most appropriate for clients wanting more than a subtle adjustment. You can read a detailed overview in our guide to lip filler treatment.

Lip flip uses a small amount of anti-wrinkle injectable product placed precisely at the upper lip border to relax the orbicularis oris, allowing the upper lip to roll slightly outward. The result is the appearance of a fuller upper lip without adding physical volume. It is most appropriate for clients wanting a very subtle improvement to upper lip visibility, or as a complement to a small amount of filler for a particularly natural upper lip outcome.

Lip shaping is the broader treatment approach that considers the lip as a whole, including border definition, body proportion, symmetry and movement. At Core Aesthetics, all lip treatment is approached through this lens regardless of which specific technique is used.

The Assessment: Shape, Proportion and Natural Movement

Corey assesses your lip anatomy including the lip border, the upper-to-lower lip ratio, your cupid’s bow, lip tissue quality and how your lips move in expression. Natural movement is one of the most important considerations in lip treatment assessment. Lips that look proportionate in photographs but appear stiff or unnatural in motion are a hallmark of poorly planned treatment. At Core Aesthetics, preserving natural lip movement is a clinical priority, not an afterthought.

Your lips are also assessed in the context of your lower face. The relationship between the lips, the nose, the chin and the surrounding facial structure determines what a proportionate improvement looks like. A lip treatment planned in isolation without this context can produce a result that looks out of balance with the face around it.
