The easiest way to achieve fuller lips is by injecting a hyaluronic acid gel. This degradable tissue filler is injected into the lips using a thin needle. If only a small lip correction is required, this is usually done using an injection technique in which the filler is injected along the edges of the lips. A new technique that is extremely gentle on soft tissue is injection with atraumatic cannulas (blunt needles) and is used depending on the treatment.

Our Most important goal is to achieve natural and well-formed lips.

Surgical lip corrections can be used after tumours, accidents or age-related lip changes.

Lip correction procedure

The lips are modelled under local anaesthesia (with anaesthetic cream or anaesthetic injection as at the dentist). All these procedures are uncomplicated, safe and cost-effective.

After the treatment

After the treatment, there may be swelling in the treated area, so it may be useful to cool the lips for a short time. However, the symptoms are usually minor and short-lived.

What should be considered before lip injections?

Blood-thinning medication, such as acetylsalicylic acid, should be avoided one week before treatment. Patients who are prone to herpes labialis should take a low-dose herpes prophylaxis to prevent an acute herpes flare-up. From the day of lip augmentation, we prescribe a three-day course of medication.

How long does the result last?

The shelf life of the preparations is between 6 and 12 months.
