What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation enhances lip volume, shape, and definition. Whether you want subtle enhancement or dramatic fullness, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane deliver natural-looking, customizable results that can be adjusted over time.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Start conservatively with 0.5-1ml of filler. You can always add more, but overfilled lips look unnatural. The best results enhance your natural lip shape rather than changing it completely.

⚠️ Insider Note: Russian lip technique creates a lifted, flattened appearance ideal for certain face shapes. Discuss different techniques with your practitioner to find your best look—what works for one person may not suit another.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do lip fillers last?

Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-12 months, depending on your metabolism, the specific product used, and how much was injected. Higher-volume treatments often last longer.

Is lip augmentation painful?

With numbing cream applied beforehand or local anesthetic injected, discomfort is minimal. Most patients describe feeling a slight pinch or pressure, nothing unbearable.

Will my lips look natural?

With skilled practitioners using conservative amounts and proper technique, results look beautifully natural. Overfilling is what creates the "duck lip" look—avoid it by starting small.

What's the difference between lip filler and lip flip?

Filler adds actual volume to the lips. Lip flip uses small amounts of Botox to relax the muscles above the upper lip, causing it to roll slightly outward for subtle enhancement without added volume.

How soon can I see results?

Results are immediate—you'll see fuller lips right away. However, swelling takes 5-7 days to fully resolve, so final shape and symmetry become clear after about a week.

Can lip filler be dissolved?

Yes, hyaluronidase enzyme can dissolve hyaluronic acid fillers quickly (within 24-48 hours) if you're unhappy with results or experience complications.

Are there any risks?

Common risks include bruising and swelling. Rare but serious risks include vascular occlusion (blocked blood vessels), which is why choosing experienced injectors is essential.

How often do I need touch-ups?

Most patients return every 6-12 months to maintain their desired volume. Some find their lips retain filler longer over time as the tissue adapts.
