A Conservative Approach to Lip Rejuvenation
At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio, we offer a unique lip support treatment that focuses on restoring the natural structure and definition of the lips without overfilling. This technique is ideal for patients who want to correct lip thinning, soften vertical lines, or subtly lift the corners of the mouth — all without dramatically altering their facial expression.
Located in Rancho Santa Margarita, our clinic serves discerning patients from Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch, Coto de Caza, Lake Forest, and surrounding South Orange County areas. All treatments are performed by Dr. Ali Hamidi, a board-certified physician with extensive experience in aesthetic medicine.
What Is Lip Support?
Unlike traditional lip filler, which adds volume, lip support treatment is designed to reinforce the internal structure and outline of the lips. This approach helps:
- Correct age-related lip thinning
- Soften smoker’s lines or vertical lip lines
- Define the cupid’s bow and vermillion border
- Gently lift downturned corners of the mouth
- Improve overall symmetry and shape
- Prevent further collagen loss in the area
Depending on your goals, Dr. Hamidi may use a combination of microfiller techniques, smooth threads, or energy-based treatments to build lip architecture with precision.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Lip support is especially ideal for:
- Patients in their 30s to 60s experiencing age-related volume loss or perioral wrinkles
- Individuals who want improvement in lip shape, not plumping
- Those who’ve had fillers in the past but now want a more refined result
- First-time patients seeking natural, subtle changes
- Men and women concerned with lip definition, not fullness
During your consultation, Dr. Hamidi will assess your lip anatomy, skin quality, and facial proportions to determine the most appropriate approach.
Benefits of Lip Support
- Creates a refined, youthful lip contour
- Softens lines without creating bulk
- Preserves natural lip movement and balance
- Long-lasting, collagen-stimulating effects
- Can be combined with Belotero Balance for fine lines
- Minimal downtime and no general anesthesia
- Performed entirely by a physician for safety and precision
This treatment is particularly effective for patients who are hesitant to try traditional lip fillers but want to address early signs of aging around the mouth.

Is lip support the same as lip filler?
No. While both use injectable materials, lip support focuses on enhancing the structure, contour, and integrity of the lips rather than adding volume.
Can I get lip support if I’ve already had filler?
Yes. In fact, many patients seek lip support after fillers to refine shape, improve structure, or transition to a more natural aesthetic.
How long do the results last?
Depending on the method used, results can last from 9 to 18 months. Some treatments stimulate collagen for longer-term improvement.
Will my lips look noticeably different?
No. The goal of lip support is to enhance what you already have, not to dramatically alter your appearance.
Can this help with lip lines or smoker’s lines?
Yes. Lip support techniques are ideal for softening vertical lines and reinforcing the skin around the mouth.
