Non-surgical lip enhancement or lip augmentation uses injectable fillers to achieve the desirable “full lips” look that’s so popular in modern society. These injections offer a quick, safe and simple alternative to surgical procedures.
The most common fillers today are dermal fillers, sometimes called “hyaluronic acid fillers.” Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, and it helps increase volume in your lips.

Hyaluronic acid fillers can improve the appearance of your lips by adding shape, structure and volume. Once injected, the gel in the filler supports and shapes the tissues of the lips. The injections can be given gradually over several appointments until the desired results are achieved. With hyaluronic acid, there is typically less bruising and swelling compared to other dermal fillers. Finally, since hyaluronic acid is similar to substances found in the body, allergic reactions are rare.
The effects typically last around six months. After that more injections are needed to keep the volume of your lips. While injections tend to be less long-lasting than surgical procedures, they are also less extensive and offer an easier recovery. Injectable filler treatments can be done to fit busy schedules, while providing a significant enhancement in upper and lower lip fullness.
