Lip Augmentation (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. At MEDIWA Clinic the treatment is carried out by an aesthetic-medicine physician whose stated aim is to enhance the lips without changing the face too drastically. A strong topical anaesthetic keeps the procedure comfortable, and results are visible immediately and settle over the following days.

Lip augmentation uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. At MEDIWA Clinic the session starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidier border, a little extra fullness, or correction of asymmetry — and the physician recommends an approach accordingly, often starting conservatively for first-time patients. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and most filler products also contain lidocaine, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula and shaped by hand; results are immediate, although lips commonly swell for a day or two and small bruises can occur. The final shape becomes clear within one to two weeks. Hyaluronic acid lip filler is gradually broken down by the body and is typically refreshed periodically as the effect softens, since the lips are mobile and metabolise filler relatively quickly. A key feature of hyaluronic acid is that, if needed, it can be dissolved, allowing a result to be adjusted or reversed. Lip enhancement is intended for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips and is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores; suitability is confirmed at consultation.
