Lip augmentation
Controlled lip contouring and augmentation with hyaluronic acid while respecting facial proportion and natural movement.
What the Procedure Is
Lip augmentation commonly uses a hyaluronic acid filler to add volume, define the border, correct asymmetry or support tissue hydration.
Who It May Suit
It suits adults seeking a proportionate, temporary change after assessment of the lips and the wider perioral region.
What It Can and Cannot Address
It can increase volume and define shape but cannot reproduce another person’s lips exactly or correct every dental or structural concern.
How the Consultation Works
Consultation establishes the goal, history of cold sores, previous treatments, asymmetry and a conservative product volume.
How the Procedure Is Performed
Filler is injected progressively at selected points and planes. Balance between the upper lip, lower lip and the rest of the face guides treatment.
Anaesthesia
Topical anaesthetic is commonly used, and many fillers also contain local anaesthetic.
Recovery
Swelling may be noticeable during the first days, with tenderness or bruising. Shape should not be judged while the lips remain swollen.
Risks and Limits
Possible complications include asymmetry, nodules, infection, cold-sore reactivation and, rarely, vascular occlusion. Unusual signs require immediate medical contact.
When Results Are Visible
Volume settles after swelling decreases. The effect is temporary and longevity varies with the product and metabolism.
