Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed to plump or shape the lips. Lip augmentation is preferred for aesthetic purposes such as making thin lips fuller, correcting thinning or sagging lips due to aging, or creating more pronounced lip lines. It can also be used to correct congenitally asymmetrical lips or to eliminate lip deformities such as scars. This procedure is usually performed using fillers such as hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body and adds fullness and volume to the lips thanks to its ability to absorb water.
Lip augmentation is usually performed using local anesthesia without any pain or discomfort. The lip augmentation procedure is usually quite quick and is completed in 15 to 30 minutes on average. There may be some mild side effects after the procedure, but they are usually short-lived and the healing process is quick.
Lip augmentation is preferred by many women for various other reasons besides plumping their lips.
Here are the main reasons why lip fillers are popular:
A fuller and more attractive smile: Full lips can make a person’s smile more attractive and facial expression more vibrant.
Defining lip contours: Lip fillers can be used to define the lines around the lips and create a more defined lip line. This makes the lips look more shaped and aesthetically pleasing.
Correction of asymmetrical lips: Asymmetrical lips, either congenital or due to trauma, can have a more symmetrical appearance with lip augmentation.
Elimination of aging effects: Lips may also tend to thin and sag with the aging process. Lip augmentation can help restore the fullness lost due to aging.
There are different types and techniques for aesthetic lip augmentation. Aesthetically different lip augmentation types and techniques can help people shape their lips the way they want and achieve a more attractive facial appearance. Since each person’s needs and wishes are different, lip augmentation should be performed in line with personal preferences and expert recommendations.
Aesthetically different types of lip fillers are as follows:
Natural Fullness: This technique aims to give the lips a fuller and more attractive appearance, while ensuring that the results are natural and harmonious. By injecting a minimal amount of filler into the lips, a non-exaggerated fullness is achieved. Lip lines and symmetry are emphasized, thus achieving an aesthetic that suits the person’s face.
Contour and Line Enhancement: This technique aims to define lip contours and make the contour of the lips more pronounced. By adding fillers to the contour of the lips and emphasizing the edges of the lips, more attractive and distinct lip lines can be created.
Upper and Lower Lip Balance: Some people may experience a disproportion between their upper and lower lips. In this technique, filler injections are used to regulate the proportion of the lips. Thus, a harmonious and aesthetic balance is achieved between the upper and lower lip.
Sagging and Line Removal: With the aging process, sagging and fine lines may appear on the lips. Lip augmentation can help reduce these lines and correct sagging lips.
Asymmetry Correction: Asymmetrical lips, which are congenital or caused by trauma, can be made to look more symmetrical with lip fillers.
Cupid Bow: The Cupid Bow line on the upper part of the lips is an important feature that determines the beauty of the lips. This line can be clarified and emphasized with lip augmentation.
Some mild swelling, redness and bruising may occur after the procedure, but this usually subsides within a few days. Depending on the individual, it may take a few days to a week for the lips to fully heal and the results to become fully apparent.

Lip augmentation prices may vary depending on several different factors. Factors such as the type of filler, the amount of filler used, the location of the clinic or health center performing the application, and the fees of the experienced specialist affect the prices of lip fillers. The cost of permanent fillers (e.g. polymethylmethacrylate) may be higher than temporary fillers (e.g. hyaluronic acid). To get precise information about prices, it is best to contact the clinic or specialist you are considering for lip augmentation and get a price quote. Before negotiating lip augmentation prices, it is important to choose a reliable and expert health center or aesthetic clinic to evaluate the experience of the specialist, the filler materials used and the techniques used.
