Lip augmentation is a popular aesthetic procedure aimed at increasing volume, improving contour, and giving lips a more sensual shape. This procedure caters to individuals wishing to enhance facial proportions, give their lips more fullness, or counteract signs of aging, such as volume loss or the appearance of fine lines around the lips.

• Hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used filler for lip augmentation and shaping due to its safety and effectiveness. Hyaluronic acid-based preparations not only increase lip volume but also hydrate from within, enhancing their appearance and condition. The procedures are typically quick and provide immediate results with a short recovery period.

The lip augmentation procedure should be preceded by a thorough consultation with an aesthetic medicine practitioner who will assess the patient’s health, expectations, and potential contraindications for the procedure. It is important that the procedure is performed by an experienced specialist who ensures not only the desired aesthetic effects but also safety and comfort during the procedure.

Hyaluronic acid lip shaping is generally well tolerated and carries a low risk of complications. However, short-term side effects such as swelling, redness, or minor bruising at the injection site are possible, which usually resolve within a few days.
