Lip Modelling (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip modelling to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, planned to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. A smaller 0.5–0.7 ml session suits first-timers or a gentle refresh, while 1.0 ml allows more shaping. An optional lip flip with botulinum toxin can gently roll the upper lip outward for a fuller look without adding extra filler.

Lip modelling at Derma Solutions uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while aiming to keep 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 with 0.5–0.7 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 usually clear within one to two weeks. Because the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly, hyaluronic acid lip results tend to last several months before a top-up is considered. 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 other hyaluronic acid treatments, a result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip modelling is for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and the clinic also manages filler complications if they arise.
