Non-surgical lip augmentation uses injectable treatments, most commonly hyaluronic acid fillers, to improve lip volume, shape, border definition, and symmetry. The procedure may be used to enhance naturally thin lips, restore age-related volume loss, define the Cupid’s bow, or balance the upper and lower lips. The filler type, quantity, and injection points are selected according to facial proportions, lip anatomy, medical history, and desired results. Treatment is generally completed within a short appointment and usually involves limited downtime. The objective is to create balanced enhancement while preserving natural lip movement and expression.
Did you Know?
• Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used because they provide adjustable and temporary lip enhancement. • Treatment can focus on volume, border definition, symmetry, Cupid’s bow shape, or correction of selected fine lines around the lips. • Swelling may make the lips appear fuller immediately after treatment, so the settled result becomes clearer after several days. • Some hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme when medically appropriate.
