Lip Modelling (Hyaluronic Acid Filler)

Lip modelling at Estéea uses Teosyal RHA 3, a non-animal, biodegradable hyaluronic-acid filler, to add subtle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border. Because hyaluronic acid is the same moisturising substance the body produces naturally, results look soft and can be dissolved if you ever want to adjust them. The filler contains lidocaine, so the treatment stays comfortable, and the lips are shaped by hand to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. It is performed as a short ambulatory appointment by a physician.

Lip modelling enhances the shape, fullness and definition of the lips using soft, cross-linked hyaluronic-acid gel. Estéea uses Teosyal RHA 3, a resilient hyaluronic acid designed to move naturally with the dynamic, mobile lip area; it is non-animal in origin and fully biodegradable, breaking down gradually over time. The appointment begins with a discussion of your goals — gentle hydration and a cleaner outline, a modest increase in volume, or correction of asymmetry — after which the physician marks the lips and recommends an approach, usually starting conservatively for first-time patients. Because the filler already contains lidocaine, the procedure is generally well tolerated; the gel is placed with a fine needle and shaped by hand. Results are visible immediately, although it is normal for the lips to swell for 24–48 hours and for small bruises to appear, with the final shape settling within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic-acid lip filler typically lasts around twelve months because the lips are constantly moving and metabolise filler relatively quickly, after which a top-up maintains the result. A key safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, so a result can be adjusted or reversed. Lip modelling suits adults wanting balanced, natural-looking lips; it is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and over active cold sores, and suitability and any contraindications are confirmed at consultation. Aftercare is straightforward: avoid heat, strenuous exercise and pressure on the lips for the rest of the day.
