Ever wondered how to make your lips bigger naturally? Having a plump, kissable pout is an enviable feature that has become increasingly desirable in the last decade or so. But not everybody is blessed with naturally full, rosy lips; many women and men turn to expensive makeup and cosmetic treatments such as injectable fillers to achieve the lip shape and size they desire.
But is there another option for those who dream of bigger lips but don’t have the time to layer on a full face of makeup every morning or cannot afford regular lip filler treatments? A cosmetic lip tattoo could be the solution for you!
Keep reading to learn more about the treatment process, who is a suitable candidate for a cosmetic lip tattoo procedure and some must-know aftercare tips to ensure the best-tattooed lip before and after results.
What is a cosmetic lip tattoo?
Whether you were born with smaller lips or your lips have lost their definition and colour as you’ve gotten older, cosmetic lip tattoos can redefine your natural lips, add a stunning blush of colour, improve lip symmetry and give the appearance of voluminous and big lips.
How to make your lips bigger with a cosmetic lip tattoo treatment
Over time, our lips lose their natural colour, especially in what is known as the vermilion border – the outline of paler skin around where your lips and skin meet. By combining various natural pigments that match your existing lip colour, cosmetic lip tattoos can replace that pigment that has faded. Like lipstick or lip liner, this differentiates your lips from your skin and gives the illusion of a beautiful, full mouth.
Being a semi-permanent treatment, a lip colour tattoo makes your lips look bigger and more kissable for a longer period than a lip augmentation with dermal fillers. However, if you are planning on getting injectables, cosmetic lip tattoos create a beautiful contour and give the injector clear guidelines to work with.
By implanting your chosen colour pigment between the epidermis and the dermis skin layers with a fine acupuncture needle, your lips are left with a natural permanent makeup look that contours and enhances your natural facial features.
More about the process
Treating many clients with lip fillers and those who view lip tattoos as an alternative to filler, our team at La Klinic has experience enhancing all lip sizes and shapes. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your desired outcomes, review your medical history and use the principles of facial morphology to accurately map out your face. We then design and draw the perfect shape according to your desires and to complement your features.
Once the consultation is complete, and you’ve approved the size, shape and colour, we apply a numbing cream to minimise discomfort before proceeding with your cosmetic lip tattoo treatment. Our Elite Linergists use an ultra-fine, sterile needle to deposit the chosen pigment into the tissue, passing over the lips to gradually build the colour and ensure natural-looking tattooed lip before and after results. For added peace of mind, our clinic utilises German-made pigments tested in independent laboratories and proven vegan, cruelty-free, organic, hypoallergenic and free from heavy metals.
Post-treatment care for optimal tattooed lip before and after results
The good news is there’s no downtime post-treatment, so you can continue your day without interruptions. Following your cosmetic lip tattoo procedure, you may experience slight swelling; however, this symptom will subside within 24 hours. For optimal healing and the most natural-looking results, it’s important to follow our aftercare instructions, including:
- Moisturise — Keep the tattooed area moisturised with our specialist-recommended healing balm. This helps support recovery and keeps your lips hydrated, smooth and plump.
- Avoid sun exposure — Following your treatment, you should avoid direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading and damage. However, if you need to go outside, use a lip balm with a high SPF count for protection.
- Don’t pick or scratch — Following your cosmetic lip tattoo procedure, you should resist the urge to pick at any flakes that form. Doing so can interfere with the natural healing process and potentially lead to patchy areas of less pigmentation.
- Stay hydrated — Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out, which supports overall skin health and healing.
- Cold sore management — If you are prone to cold sores, we ask that you use a 3-in-1 cold sore treatment to prevent outbreaks and ensure a smoother healing process.
