What do I gain by having a lip enhancement treatment?

With this particular treatment you can instantly have fuller and sensual lips. You can also correct lip deformities and gain self-confidence. You can wear any lipstick or lip gloss you like (with no fear of how your lips are going to look like). Men can restore their lost lip volume achieving a youthful appearance.

Which areas can be treated?

Lip a treatment can address different issues. It can address one or more of the following:

• Upper or/and lower lip volume.
• Lip contour.
• Lines around the lips (known as smoker’s lines).
• The corners of the mouth (which are “pulled down” as we grow older).
• A small dent of the upper lip, in V shape, which in time gradually becomes flat.
• Lip hydration.

How is the treatment performed?

We inject hyaluronic acid on the area we want to fill or hydrate. It can be performed under nerve block anaesthesia (an injection of anaesthetic in the gums) or simply with the use of an anaesthetic cream. Some patients don’t even need any kind of anaesthesia as most of the hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine (an anaesthetic substance in them). The procedure is applied with the use of a fine needle or a cannula, depending on the position and the size of the problem.

Are there side effects?

After the injection of the hyaluronic acid filler on the lips, a minor to moderate edema (swelling) is created which can last up to 2 days. In order to minimise the swelling, ice is used on the area right after the treatment. Also, ecchymoses (bruises) may occur due to the needle stings which can be covered up with make-up or lipsticks in women.

How long does the result last?

Hyaluronic acid fillers fully disintegrate in time and our lips go back to their initial state. In order to maintain the result, we recommend repeating the treatment every 6-9 months depending on the area, the size of the problem and each patient.
