Lip contouring with hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular treatments in the world of aesthetics. The procedure allows for defining lip contours, adding volume, improving symmetry, and creating a natural, fresh look.׳
Why is hyaluronic acid suitable for lip shaping?׳
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that serves to retain water and maintain volume and moisture. Controlled injections allow for the lips to be shaped in a personalized manner according to the patient's wishes, while maintaining a natural look.׳
Goals of lip contouring treatment:׳
Adding volume: creating fuller lips.׳
Improving symmetry: correcting differences between the upper and lower lips.׳
Highlighting contours: creating a more defined and distinct look.׳
Correcting dryness and fine lines: improving hydration and smoothing fine lines above the upper lip.׳
Natural and soft look: subtle, non-exaggerated enhancement, as requested by the patient.׳
How is the treatment performed?׳
Initial consultation: The doctor examines the lip structure and, together with the patient, defines the desired look.׳
Local anesthesia: Typically, a numbing cream or hyaluronic acid containing lidocaine is used.׳
Precise injection: The substance is injected into specific areas to enhance volume or sculpt contours, using a fine needle or cannula.׳
Gentle massage: At the end of the treatment, the doctor massages the area to distribute the product evenly.׳
Treatment duration: approximately 20–30 minutes.׳
Benefits of the treatment:׳
Immediate results: An immediate change is visible, but the final result stabilizes within a few days.׳
Natural look: precise shaping tailored to the patient's facial and lip structure.׳
High safety: Hyaluronic acid is a biodegradable substance and can be dissolved if necessary.׳
Personalized treatment: You can choose between a subtle look and a more dramatic enhancement.׳
Temporary effect: The substance breaks down naturally in the body after 6–12 months, allowing the appearance to be altered or the treatment to be discontinued.׳
Possible side effects:׳
Swelling and mild redness (disappear within 1–3 days).׳
Small bruises at the injection site.׳
A sensation of sensitivity in the lips during the first few days.׳
Rare: appearance of small lumps (treatable by massage or a dissolving agent).׳
Post-treatment tips:׳
Avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine for the first 24 hours.׳
Do not touch or press on your lips for two days.׳
Avoid exposure to high heat (such as a sauna) during the first few days.׳
Important recommendation:׳
Lip contouring requires a high level of skill; therefore, it is essential to ensure the procedure is performed by an aesthetic physician with extensive experience in lip contouring to guarantee a precise, symmetrical, and safe result.׳
