Lip Augmentation (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid lip enhancement to add gentle volume, improve symmetry and define the lip border, shaped to stay in proportion with the rest of the face. At Medeste Clinic the doctor discusses your goals first — more hydration and a tidier outline, a little extra fullness, or correcting unevenness — and treats conservatively for a natural result. Because the filler is hyaluronic acid based, the outcome can be dissolved if you ever want to adjust it.

Lip augmentation at Medeste Clinic uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. The appointment starts with a conversation about what you would like to change — hydration and a defined outline, subtle extra volume, or improving asymmetry — and the physician recommends an amount accordingly, usually starting modestly 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, although lips commonly swell for 24 to 48 hours and small bruises can occur. The final shape is clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler tends to last around six to nine months, as the lips are highly mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments the result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase should you wish to reverse or adjust it. Lip enhancement is intended for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over an active cold sore, and the doctor checks suitability at consultation.
