Lip Modelling (Restylane Kysse 1ml)

Lip augmentation using Restylane Kysse — a hyaluronic acid filler designed specifically for the lips with XpresHAn technology for natural movement and softness. 1ml syringe, physician-administered at Bona Dea.

Lip modelling at Bona Dea uses Restylane Kysse, a hyaluronic acid dermal filler developed by Galderma specifically for lip augmentation and contouring. Kysse incorporates XpresHAn (expression) technology, which cross-links the hyaluronic acid gel in a way that allows it to integrate with the lip tissue and move naturally with facial expressions — smiling, speaking, kissing — rather than sitting as a rigid block within the lip. The treatment begins with a detailed lip assessment. The physician evaluates the patient's lip anatomy, proportions (upper-to-lower lip ratio, vermilion border definition, cupid's bow shape), and discusses the desired outcome — whether that is subtle volume enhancement, border definition, correction of asymmetry, or a combination. Bona Dea's approach emphasises proportional, natural-looking results that complement the patient's overall facial structure rather than creating obviously augmented lips. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the lips 15 to 20 minutes before injection. Restylane Kysse also contains 0.3% lidocaine within the gel for additional comfort during injection. The physician uses a fine needle or cannula to place the filler at precise depths within the lip tissue — deeper placement for volume, more superficial for border definition. A standard 1ml syringe provides moderate enhancement; some patients may require 0.5ml for subtle refinement or opt for additional volume at a follow-up session. Results are immediate, though mild swelling in the first 48-72 hours means the final shape is best assessed at the 2-week mark. Restylane Kysse typically lasts 9 to 12 months in the lips, longer than many competing fillers due to the XpresHAn gel structure. Bona Dea recommends a follow-up at 2 weeks to evaluate the result and discuss any touch-up if desired.
