Lip Enhancement & Lip Refresh

Hyaluronic acid lip augmentation at My Best Care — from subtle hydration and border definition ('lip refresh') to visible volume and reshaping, performed by the clinic's aesthetic physicians. For patients seeking a permanent structural change, a surgical Bullhorn lip lift is also offered by the plastic surgery team. Results from filler are immediate and last around 6–12 months.

Lip filler treatment is highly technique-dependent: the difference between a natural, defined result and an overfilled look lies in product choice, placement depth and respect for the lip's anatomy. **Approach:** At consultation the physician discusses the goal — restoring volume lost with age, balancing asymmetry, defining the vermilion border, or building visible volume — and selects an appropriately soft HA filler. Injection follows the lip's natural compartments, with topical anaesthetic and lidocaine-containing filler keeping discomfort low. The session takes 20–30 minutes; swelling (often more noticeable in lips than other areas) settles over 2–4 days, with the true result visible at about two weeks. **Lip refresh vs. augmentation:** A 'refresh' uses lightly cross-linked HA to rehydrate and subtly smooth vertical lip lines without adding obvious volume — popular with patients over 40. Classic augmentation places firmer gel in the body of the lip for projection and fullness. **Surgical alternative — Bullhorn lip lift (24,990 Kč):** For a long upper lip (philtrum), filler cannot shorten the distance between nose and lip; the Bullhorn lift removes a small wave-shaped strip of skin just under the nostril sill, permanently lifting the upper lip and increasing visible vermilion. Performed under local anaesthesia by the plastic surgery team. **Duration:** Lip fillers metabolise faster than other areas due to constant movement — expect 6–12 months, with maintenance top-ups smaller than the initial treatment.
