Best for a Perfect Pout

Dr Rita Rakus

If you’re planning to seal it with a kiss, head to the Knightsbridge clinic of London’s lip queen, whose skills range from reshaping the mouth to smoothing out any telltale smoker’s lines.

Right now Dr Rakus is excited about her new line of Princess lip fillers, the softest injectable gel yet, which gently unfurl thin lips to perfect rosebud proportions - and all with minimal swelling or downtime.

‘I advise my clients to book in six months before the wedding, so they have plenty of time to consider what they want and make adjustments if necessary,’ says Dr Rakus.

Needle-phobes should try her Hollywood Hydra Facial that not only brightens skin, but has a new lip tip that exfoliates flakiness while pushing brightening peony extract, skin-softening aloe and peppermint oil to stimulate circulation for the juiciest smile.
