Lip Augmentation (Filler, Surgical or Fat Transfer)

Lip augmentation at Medica Aesthetica is offered by three routes — non-surgical hyaluronic acid filler with dermatologist prim. MUDr. Zdena Stratilová, surgical augmentation, or transfer of the patient's own fat by plastic surgeon Doc. MUDr. Jan Válka. Filler gives a flexible, reversible result, while surgical and fat-transfer options aim for a longer-lasting change. The right approach is agreed after assessing your lips and goals.

Lip augmentation enhances the size, shape, definition or symmetry of the lips, and Medica Aesthetica offers three distinct routes so the method can match the goal. Hyaluronic acid filler, performed by dermatologist prim. MUDr. Zdena Stratilová, is the non-surgical option: a gel is injected to add volume and define the lip border, giving an immediate result that is adjustable and gradually reversible over months. Surgical lip augmentation and augmentation using the patient's own fat (autologous fat transfer) are performed by plastic surgeon Doc. MUDr. Jan Válka for those wanting a more permanent change; fat transfer has the added benefit of using the body's own tissue. Which route suits you is decided at consultation, where the doctor examines your lips, discusses proportions and explains the trade-offs in longevity, recovery and reversibility. Filler treatment takes around half an hour with little to no downtime beyond temporary swelling. The surgical and fat-transfer routes are minor procedures with a short recovery period of swelling and tenderness, after which the lips settle into their final shape; fat transfer results depend on how much of the grafted fat survives, which the surgeon will explain. Lip augmentation suits adults wanting fuller, better-defined or more symmetrical lips, whether they prefer a subtle adjustable result or a longer-lasting one. The doctor reviews suitability and contraindications first — filler is avoided over inflamed skin and in certain conditions, and the surgical routes follow standard pre-operative assessment — and provides aftercare guidance for each method.
