Lip Augmentation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, tailored to keep the result in proportion with the rest of the face. Smaller 0.5 ml sessions suit first-timers or gentle refreshes, while 0.7–1 ml allows more shaping. An optional lip flip with botulinum toxin can gently roll the upper lip outward for a fuller look without extra filler.

Lip augmentation at Bednarek Clinic uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — and the doctor recommends a volume accordingly, 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 24–48 hours and small bruises can occur. Final shape is clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler typically lasts around six to nine months as the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. For patients who want a fuller upper lip without adding much volume, a botulinum-toxin lip flip can be combined to gently evert the lip edge. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments, the result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip enhancement is for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores.
