Lip augmentation is among aesthetic procedures that are completed in a short time and do not interfere with daily life. The procedure takes approximately 15–20 minutes and involves injecting a hyaluronic acid–based filler into the lip tissue using very fine needles. Before the application, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the lips to minimize any discomfort that may be felt during the procedure.
After lip augmentation, the individual can immediately return to daily activities. If it is the first time receiving lip filler, a complementary session may be required approximately two weeks later to achieve the ideal result. The longevity of the filler varies depending on the concentration of the product used and the individual’s skin structure, typically lasting between 6 and 12 months.
Thanks to hyaluronic acid–based lip fillers, thin lips can achieve a fuller appearance, asymmetries can be corrected, and the lip contour can be reshaped. At the same time, lip volume is enhanced, the lip corners can be defined, and the lips gain a more hydrated, vibrant, and aesthetically pleasing look.
Lip filler treatment is performed by injecting a hyaluronic acid–based dermal filler into the lip area. Before the procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to numb the area and reduce any potential discomfort. Then, the fluid gel-form filler is injected beneath the skin using very fine needles to enhance volume and shape the lips.
Hyaluronic acid provides natural volume to the lips due to its water-retaining properties, resulting in a fuller appearance. The procedure is completed quickly, and the patient can return to daily life immediately. The durability of the filler generally ranges between 6–8 months, depending on the product selected and the individual’s skin type. Over time, the hyaluronic acid is naturally metabolized by the body and gradually loses its effect.
