Lips are one of the most important points on the face both aesthetically and functionally. Due to its dense vascular structure and mobility, specially developed hyaluronic acid fillers are used in terms of filling on the lips. Although it is most commonly performed for lip augmentation, lip shaping and clarification of lip contour, it is also used to correct lip asymmetries, remove fine barcode lines on the lips and reduce lip edge sagging.

Before applying the filler to the lips, creams with anesthetic (local anesthetic) effect are applied and left for 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, sometimes only the red area of the lip, and sometimes only the lip contour, where the lip and the skin meet, are injected with very fine-tipped needles. It’s a quick and easy application that is completed in as little as 10 minutes.

Very rare, there may be minimal swelling and edema after the procedure, swelling and bruising do not occur in most patients because the consistency of the filler we use is very soft. Hyaluronic acid filler injection used in lip augmentation is not permanent, it is absorbed by the body over time. The duration of the filler is 6-12 months, depending on factors such as the age of the person, lip structure, elasticity, properties, quantity and quality of the injected filler.
