How long do lip enhancement consultations take?
Your lip enhancement consultation at Contour Clinics will take approximately 30–45 minutes. During this time, your treating doctor or nurse will comprehensively assess your facial anatomy, including lip height, symmetry, projection, and overall facial proportions. Comprehensive 3D photography is used to objectively evaluate and plan your treatment, allowing precise visualisation of potential outcomes tailored specifically to you. Your cosmetic doctor or nurse will also discuss all potential risks, benefits, and aftercare considerations, ensuring you are thoroughly informed and comfortable before proceeding.
