Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid

Lip enhancement at Renomé Clinic uses hyaluronic acid fillers injected by physicians to add volume, define the lip border, restore age-related volume loss, and correct asymmetry — always calibrated toward a natural result that suits the face. The session begins with a consultation on shape goals (volume vs. definition vs. hydration 'refresh'), followed by numbing cream and precise injection with a fine needle or cannula. Results are immediate, settle fully within two weeks as swelling resolves, and last around 9–12 months. For patients with an elongated upper lip, the clinic also offers a surgical upper lip lift as a permanent alternative.

Lips lose volume, definition, and the crispness of the vermilion border with age — and many younger patients simply want fuller, better-balanced lips. Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler remains the standard tool because it is effective, adjustable, and fully reversible. **The Renomé approach:** The clinic lists the treatment as 'augmentation, modelling and refreshment' — three distinct goals. *Augmentation* adds measurable volume to the body of the lip. *Modelling* shapes: defining the Cupid's bow, evening asymmetry, supporting the corners of the mouth, or refining the border without much added volume. *Refreshment* uses softer, lightly cross-linked HA to rehydrate and smooth lips that look deflated or lined, with minimal volume change — popular with patients in their 40s+ and those wanting a subtle first treatment. **The session:** Consultation and shape planning, topical anaesthetic for 15–20 minutes (modern HA fillers also contain lidocaine), then injection via fine needle or blunt cannula. Total visit ~45 minutes. **Aftercare and timeline:** Expect swelling for 24–72 hours (lips typically look slightly 'overdone' on day 1 — this is swelling, not the result) and possible small bruises. Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and saunas for 24–48 hours, and pressure on the lips for a week. The true result is visible at ~2 weeks. Duration is typically 9–12 months; the lips return gradually toward baseline as the HA resorbs. **Safety:** HA fillers are administered by physicians at the clinic, which matters for lips — the labial arteries demand anatomical expertise, and physician administration means hyaluronidase (the HA-dissolving enzyme) is on hand to manage any vascular event or to adjust an overfilled result. **Alternatives within the clinic:** A surgical upper lip lift (from 26,100 Kč) permanently shortens the philtrum and rolls the upper lip outward — the better answer when the issue is an elongated upper lip rather than missing volume. The consultation distinguishes the two honestly.
