Surgical Lip Enhancement

OB CARE offers surgical lip enhancement for patients seeking a permanent improvement in lip fullness or shape that does not require repeat filler appointments. The procedure is performed by plastic surgeon MUDr. Martin Skála at a fixed price of 27,800 Kč. Depending on the patient's anatomy and goals, techniques can include a lip lift (shortening the space between nose and upper lip to roll the lip outward) or augmentation with the patient's own tissue. Patients who prefer a reversible, no-downtime option can instead choose hyaluronic acid lip fillers, available at the same clinic from 6,000 Kč per millilitre.

Most lip enhancement today is done with hyaluronic acid fillers — effective, but temporary, requiring repeat treatments every 6–12 months indefinitely. Surgical lip enhancement offers a one-time, permanent alternative for the right candidate. **Surgical options:** The appropriate technique depends on anatomy and goals, agreed at consultation with MUDr. Skála. A *lip lift* removes a precise strip of skin just under the nose, shortening an elongated philtrum and rolling the upper lip outward — increasing visible vermilion (the pink of the lip) without adding volume, and often improving tooth show. *Autologous augmentation* uses the patient's own tissue to add lasting central volume. Both approaches avoid synthetic permanent implants and their associated long-term risks. **The procedure:** Performed under local anaesthesia as a day case in the clinic's hospital facility. The fixed price of 27,800 Kč covers the pre-operative examination, anaesthesia, all medication, and sutures. **Recovery:** Swelling is significant for the first several days — lips look overdone initially, then settle over one to two weeks. Fine sutures are removed at about one week. Final lip shape is judged at two to three months. A lip-lift scar sits in the shadow directly under the nostrils and fades to near-invisibility in most patients over months. **Surgical vs. filler:** Choose surgery if you want a permanent result, have a long philtrum or thin upper lip with poor vermilion show, or are tired of maintaining fillers. Choose filler (6,000 Kč/1 ml at OB CARE) if you want to trial a look, need only modest volume, or prefer zero downtime. The consultation covers both honestly.
