What does hyaluronic acid lip modelling involve?

Lip modelling and augmentation is a procedure that aims to improve the shape and volume of the lips. During the procedure, the doctor uses substances based, among others, on hyaluronic acid, which are precisely injected into the selected areas.

The preparations used in lip modelling contain hyaluronic acid, which is a natural component of the skin and has the ability to bind water, thanks to which the lips gain volume and their deep hydration is increased.

Who is hyaluronic acid lip augmentation for?

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is aimed at people who want to improve the appearance of their lips and increase their volume.

Small or narrow lips

if the lips are too small in relation to the face, an augmentation procedure can help to create a more proportionate appearance.

Mouth asymmetry

if one side of the mouth is smaller than the other, augmentation and modelling surgery can help to compensate for the asymmetry.

Visible lines around the mouth

if there are lines around the mouth known as smoker’s wrinkles, the treatment can help to reduce their appearance.

Age

as we age, the lips tend to lose their volume and firmness. An augmentation and modelling procedure can help restore lost volume.

Effect of a lip augmentation procedure (lip shaping)

The spectacular results of the lip augmentation procedure are:

Giving lips volume – fuller looking lips, improved lip shape and increased volume.
Remodelled lips – after lip augmentation it is possible to achieve symmetrical lips and improved lip contour.
A more pronounced cupid’s bow (the arch above the lip) and filters (the two vertical lines above the cupid’s bow).

Lip modelling treatment is also an effective method of smoothing wrinkles and lines around the mouth, and helps on drooping corners of the mouth, increasing facial attractiveness.

What is the procedure like for lip augmentation?

Prior to your lip reshaping procedure, you should make an appointment for a consultation with your doctor at Arcadia Clinic. During the medical consultation, the doctor will take a medical history, gathering information about the patient’s health, medications taken regularly and expectations for the procedure. The doctor will then carefully examine the patient’s lips to determine the amount of filler they will require to achieve the desired result.

Before the procedure, the patient is given a local anaesthetic to reduce the sensation of pain during the injection of the filler.

After anaesthesia, the practitioner injects the filler in selected areas on the lip surface, selecting the appropriate amount of the product depending on the desired effect. During the injection, the doctor shapes the contours of the lips and fills in any defects.

The effect of a lip augmentation and shaping procedure using a hyaluronic acid-based filler lasts for approximately 6-12 months, depending on a number of factors.
