Lip Enhancement (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 rest of the face. Smaller volumes suit first-timers or gentle refreshes, while a fuller syringe allows more shaping. Premium product lines designed specifically for lips are used so movement stays natural.

Lip enhancement at Dr Skibicka's clinic uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to improve the lips' volume, shape, border definition and hydration while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, correction of asymmetry, or refreshing lips that have thinned with age — and the doctor recommends a volume accordingly, often starting conservatively with around half a millilitre 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 using lip-specific products such as Restylane Kysse, Teoxane RHA and Juvederm; results are immediate, though lips commonly swell for 24 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. Final shape is clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler is typically associated with around six to nine months of effect, as the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. Dedicated lip hydration and revitalisation options are available for patients who want healthier, better-moisturised lips rather than added volume. 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; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores, and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
