Lip Modelling (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip modelling to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, shaped to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. A smaller 0.5 ml session suits first-timers or a gentle refresh, while 1 ml allows more definition. For patients who prefer hydration over added volume, the clinic also offers lip revitalisation with plasma, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid or laser.

Lip modelling at this clinic uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the volume, shape and border definition of the lips while keeping movement and proportion natural. The treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — after which the physician recommends an appropriate amount, often starting conservatively at 0.5 ml for first-time patients. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and the filler products also contain lidocaine, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. The gel is placed with a fine needle or cannula and shaped by hand; results are immediate, though lips commonly swell for 24 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. The final shape is usually clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler tends to last around six to nine months because the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. For those who want fresher, better-hydrated lips without much added volume, the clinic offers lip revitalisation using platelet-rich plasma, non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid or a gentle laser. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments, a filler result can be dissolved if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip modelling is intended for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over an active cold sore.
