Lip Augmentation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, shaped to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. At CME the physician discusses your goals first and recommends a volume accordingly, often starting conservatively. Because the filler is hyaluronic-acid based, the result can be dissolved if you ever want to adjust or reverse it.

Lip augmentation at CME uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment begins with a conversation about what you want — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — and the physician recommends an amount accordingly, typically beginning with around one millilitre or less 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 becomes clear within one to two weeks. As the lips are mobile they metabolise filler relatively quickly, so periodic top-ups maintain the look. 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; the clinic does not perform it during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and the physician checks suitability beforehand.
