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. Performed by the clinic's aesthetic-medicine physician using soft filler products that contain local anaesthetic for comfort. An optional botulinum-toxin lip flip can be added to roll the upper lip outward for a fuller look without extra filler.

Lip augmentation at CosmoMedical uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. The appointment begins with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — and the physician recommends an approach accordingly, often starting conservatively for first-time patients. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and the filler itself usually contains lidocaine, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula and shaped by hand; results are visible immediately, though lips commonly swell for 24 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. The final shape becomes clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler is typically maintained with a top-up after several 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. A safety advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which the clinic offers, if you wish to adjust or reverse a result. Lip enhancement is associated with subtly fuller, better-defined lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
