Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid

One of the most widespread interventions, namely the lip augmentation procedure with hyaluronic acid, is favored by people who want voluminous and well-contoured lips, but also to improve their general appearance.

As with skin, over time, lips start to lose the substances that give them shape, structure and volume. For this reason, many people turn to hyaluronic acid filler injections, in search for a more attractive smile.

What does the hyaluronic acid lip augmentation procedure involve?

The hyaluronic acid lip augmentation filler procedure is performed with local anesthesia. This is applied for about 10-15 minutes, after which the area is degreased with alcohol and the product is injected. This is followed by modeling massage. The amount of hyaluronic acid is determined in consultation with the customer, depending on the desired volume, but also on the initial state of the lips. The procedure takes about 30 minutes.

It is important to know that you should stop taking anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs, as well as vitamins E and C, for a week before the operation. Moreover, 48 hours after the operation, aggressive movements in the treated area are forbidden, except for light massage. In addition, you can't be exposed to extreme temperatures for 7 days, and drinking alcohol is forbidden for the first 2 days.

The lip augmentation procedure is performed with local anesthesia. This area is highly innervated, hence it is necessary to apply an anesthetic cream or sometimes injectable treatments to significantly reduce the pain. Most of the time, patients only feel discomfort or pressure. Some types of hyaluronic acid also contain lidocaine, a painkiller that numbs the lips.
