No two lips are the same — and that’s exactly why a one-size-fits-all filler approach doesn’t work. Whether you want more definition, subtle volume, or correction of unevenness, choosing the right technique is key to getting results that feel natural, balanced, and completely you.
At Mesglo Aesthetic Clinic London, we specialise in bespoke lip enhancements that are designed to respect and enhance your unique lip shape and facial proportions. Here’s how we approach lip symmetry and filler technique — and what to expect if you’re considering treatment.
Understanding Your Natural Lip Shape
Your natural lip shape is determined by:
👄 Vermillion border – the defined line where the pink lip meets the skin
👄 Cupid’s bow – the peaks at the top centre of the upper lip
👄 Philtrum columns – the vertical lines between your nose and lips
👄 Upper-to-lower lip ratio – a key factor in perceived balance and harmony
👄 Lip movement – how your lips move when you talk, smile, or rest
Different people have different lip dynamics — which is why a good injector must assess not just volume, but function, form, and symmetry in motion.
Common Lip Asymmetries We Correct at Mesglo
Even the most beautiful lips can have mild asymmetries that become more noticeable with age, photo angles, or facial expression. Some common concerns include:
- 🔹 One side of the upper or lower lip sitting higher or fuller
- 🔹 Loss of definition on one side of the Cupid’s bow
- 🔹 Inverted or tucked-in upper lip
- 🔹 Uneven vermillion border
- 🔹 Disproportion between upper and lower lip
These can be corrected with precise filler placement — often using less than 1ml of product — to restore balance without over-volumising.
Choosing the Right Lip Filler Technique
At Mesglo, we use a range of advanced lip injection techniques depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Here are some of the most commonly used:
💉 Microdroplet (Tenting) Technique
- Used to lift and define the lip border, especially the Cupid’s bow
- Ideal for creating subtle height and structure
💉 Linear Threading Technique
- Threads filler through the body of the lip for smooth, even volume
- Great for lips with natural volume but needing soft enhancement
💉 Fanning or Cross-Hatching Technique
- Filler is distributed like a web for plumpness and hydration boost
- Suitable for lips that lack fullness overall
💉 Vertical Columns for Lift
- Small vertical injections to support a lip that folds under or has a flatter profile
- Often used to bring the upper lip forward gently
💉 Cannula Technique
- Minimises bruising and swelling by using a single entry point
- Preferred for clients who bruise easily or need correction around old filler
We often combine techniques in one session to achieve the most natural, balanced results.
What If You Have Existing Filler or Overfilled Lips?
No problem — we offer:
🔸 Filler dissolving using hyaluronidase to break down old or migrated product
🔸 Refinement and reshaping after a poor result elsewhere
🔸 Treatment plans to rebuild shape gradually over time
At Mesglo, less is more. We prioritise harmony over volume, and correction over camouflage.
