Lip Augmentation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement to add subtle volume, improve symmetry, define the lip border or simply restore hydration, tailored to keep the result in proportion with the face. At DermaDerm the doctor discusses your goals and recommends a volume accordingly, often starting conservatively for first-time patients. Soft, reversible fillers are used so the result can be adjusted, and a more natural hydrating approach is available for those who want healthier-looking lips rather than added size.

Lip augmentation at DermaDerm 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 conversation about what you want — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — after which the doctor recommends an appropriate product and amount, often starting conservatively 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 a day or two and small bruises can occur. The 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, after which the treatment can be repeated. For patients who prefer a subtle, healthier look rather than noticeable volume, a hydrating approach using lighter products improves moisture, smoothness and colour without significantly changing size. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments the result can be dissolved if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip enhancement is for adults seeking balanced, natural-looking lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and suitability is confirmed by the doctor at consultation.
