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. A single ampoule suits both first-time patients wanting a gentle refresh and those after more definition. An optional lip flip with botulinum toxin can roll the upper lip slightly outward for a fuller look without adding more filler.

Lip augmentation at Gabinety Tuwima uses soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler to enhance the lips' volume, shape and border definition while keeping movement and proportion natural. Treatment starts with a discussion of your goals — more hydration and a tidy border, a little extra volume, or correction of asymmetry — and the doctor recommends an approach accordingly, often starting conservatively for first-time patients. A strong topical anaesthetic is applied and the filler products also contain lidocaine, so the procedure is generally well tolerated. The gel is placed with a fine needle or cannula and shaped by hand; results are immediate, though lips commonly swell for a day or two and small bruises can occur. Final shape becomes clear within one to two weeks. Because the lips are mobile, hyaluronic acid lip filler is metabolised relatively quickly and is usually maintained for several months. For patients who want a fuller upper lip without adding much volume, a botulinum-toxin lip flip can be combined to gently evert the lip edge. As with all hyaluronic acid treatments, the result can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to adjust or reverse it. Lip enhancement is intended for adults seeking subtle, balanced lips; it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding or over active cold sores.
