Lip Enhancement (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. The clinic offers both classic lip modelling and a more structured Russian Lips technique for added height and definition. An optional lip flip with botulinum toxin can gently roll the upper lip outward for a fuller look without extra filler.

Lip enhancement at JB Clinic uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to improve the volume, shape and border definition of the lips while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — better hydration and a tidy border, a little more volume, or correction of asymmetry — and the physician recommends an amount and technique accordingly. Alongside classic lip modelling, the clinic offers the Russian Lips approach, which builds height and a defined cupid's bow through vertical placement of the gel. 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 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. The final shape is usually 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. 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 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 balanced, natural-looking lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores.
