Her approach is customer-focused, spending time before treatment to make sure the customer has explained the desired effect, a perfectly natural full lip—to which end she often requests old photographs of clients to ascertain their original look.
The process:
After filling in a comprehensive consultation form, Dr Rita’s assistant covered my lips in anesthetic and left me to read in front of a roaring fire for around twenty minutes. Once the cream had kicked in I was ushered through to meet the lip queen herself. A few quick jabs and I was done, iced up, and out—all in under half an hour.
Almost pain-free, there was minimal bruising and even though I’d requested more filler than I’d ever had with previous lip doctors, there were no telltale bulges or signs of ducklip.
The results
My lips look fuller than ever, but all the while natural and even.
