What is Cleft Lip Repair Tattooing?
Cleft Lip Repair Tattooing is an advanced micropigmentation technique that uses medical-grade pigments to improve the colour, shape, and definition of the lips while blending and softening the appearance of scars. This treatment works by depositing pigment into the dermal layer of the skin, restoring uniformity and creating a more symmetrical, natural-looking lip shape. The goal is to enhance your lips while maintaining a soft and subtle appearance that complements your natural skin tone.

How Does Cleft Lip Repair Tattooing Work?
The process begins with a thorough consultation with your Micropigmentation Specialist, where we will discuss your goals, assess your skin tone, and determine the most suitable pigment for your lips. We will also provide before-and-after photos of previous clients to help you understand the potential results.
During the procedure:
- A numbing cream is applied to minimise any discomfort.
- Medical-grade pigment is carefully deposited into the lips using a fine tattooing technique.
- The treatment takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the area being treated.
While some mild swelling or sensitivity may occur immediately after treatment, these effects typically subside within a few days, revealing a beautifully enhanced lip appearance.
How Long Will Cleft Lip Repair Tattooing Results Last?
The results of Cleft Lip Repair Tattooing are long-lasting, typically remaining visible for several years. However, factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and sun exposure can influence how long the pigment remains vibrant.
To maintain the best results:
- A touch-up session may be required 6 to 8 weeks after your initial treatment to perfect the colour and shape.
- Periodic refresh sessions every few years will help maintain optimal results.
- Following the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist will extend the longevity of your treatment.
