If your lips no longer look or feel the way you expected after a cosmetic treatment, a lip dissolving treatment may be the right next step. Whether you’re noticing changes in shape, uneven texture, or simply feel like the results aren’t right for you anymore, you’re not alone.
At The Lounge Aesthetics, we support clients through every stage of their cosmetic journey, including reassessing previous lip volume treatments. Our approach focuses on your comfort, safety, and confidence, offering guidance without pressure.
Here are five signs it may be time to consider a lip dissolving treatment.
1. Your Lip Volume Has Shifted Beyond the Natural Lip Line
In some cases, product can move beyond the intended area over time. This is often seen as a soft or swollen appearance above the upper lip, where definition becomes blurred.
This change can happen for a range of reasons, including natural lip movement or how the product was placed. A lip dissolving treatment can help restore your natural lip shape and improve overall balance.
2. You’ve Noticed Lumps or Uneven Texture
Small lumps or areas of unevenness can develop after a lip volume treatment. These may be visible or felt beneath the surface.
In some cases, these changes can improve on their own. But if they persist, dissolving may help smooth the area and support a more even appearance.
3. Your Lips Feel Overfilled or Out of Balance
If your lips feel too full or out of proportion with the rest of your features, the results may no longer align with your goals. This can happen over time, especially with repeated treatments or product build-up.
A dissolving treatment allows you to return to a softer, more natural look. From there, you can decide whether you’d like to start fresh or keep your natural shape.
4. You’re Experiencing Discomfort or Pressure
Lip volume treatments should settle comfortably and feel natural. If you’re noticing ongoing tightness, pressure, or sensitivity, it could indicate that the product isn’t sitting well.
A dissolving treatment may help relieve these symptoms and reduce tension in the area. We recommend an individual review to determine the best approach for your needs.
5. You’re No Longer Happy with the Results
It’s normal for your preferences to change over time. Even if the treatment was technically fine, you may feel that it no longer suits your look.
Whether you want a clean slate or are simply ready for a change, dissolving gives you control over your appearance. Our team is here to support your decision and help you feel more comfortable and confident moving forward.
What to Expect After a Lip Dissolving Treatment
Lip dissolving is a safe, non-surgical treatment carried out by qualified professionals. A dissolving solution is placed in specific areas to help break down the product gradually.
Some swelling, bruising or tenderness is expected in the days following treatment. This usually resolves within a week, and your lips will return to their natural shape as the product clears.
If you’re considering future lip volume treatment, we recommend waiting at least two weeks to allow the area to heal and settle properly.
Can You Partially Dissolve a Lip Volume Treatment?
Yes, in some cases, partial dissolving is possible. This means only certain areas are treated to reduce volume or correct shape while preserving other areas that still look and feel right.
This option depends on how the product has settled and your specific concerns. A personalised consultation is the best way to determine whether this approach is suitable for you.
Choosing a Safe, Supportive Clinic
Lip dissolving treatments should only be performed by qualified professionals in a clinical environment. Safety, hygiene, and clear communication are essential.
At The Lounge Aesthetics, our cosmetic nurses are trained in advanced techniques and follow strict safety protocols. We take a thoughtful, supportive approach to every consultation, always putting your comfort first.
