Lip augmentation at MUDr. Šimek's Olomouc practice is offered via two distinct approaches: injectable hyaluronic acid filler for reversible, temporary volume enhancement (6 000 Kč per 1 ml), and the permanent surgical V-Y technique for patients seeking a lasting result. The filler option uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid delivered by injection under local anaesthetic cream, with effects lasting 3–6 months before natural degradation. The surgical V-Y method repositions the inner mucous membrane of the lip outward through concealed incisions inside the mouth, permanently increasing lip projection and volume without using any foreign material. A plastic surgeon performing lip augmentation — rather than a beauty therapist — brings anatomical knowledge of lip architecture to the treatment.
About this treatment
The lips occupy a central role in facial attractiveness and expression. Volume loss and lip thinning occur through two mechanisms: fat redistribution away from the perioral zone with age, and gradual reduction in collagen and elastin support of the lip skin. Both processes begin noticeably in the late 30s for most patients, though some experience early lip thinning from their 20s due to genetic lip morphology.
Option 1: Hyaluronic acid filler augmentation
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the preferred filler for lip augmentation because it is naturally reversible — hyaluronidase enzyme can dissolve it if the result is unsatisfactory. Cross-linked HA fillers used in medical practice create volume through their hygroscopic (water-attracting) properties, drawing in tissue fluid and maintaining volume over time as the cross-links gradually break down. Duration is typically 3–6 months in the lip zone (shorter than in…
