Why do lips change over time?
Sometimes you only notice it in photos. Or when you look closely in the mirror: the lips seem thinner than before. Flatter, less defined. The contour that was once clear now appears blurred. The face loses some of its expression.
Over time, the body produces less natural moisture and structural substances. Lips become drier, lose volume, and their natural firmness fades.
The muscles around the mouth also change. All of this can make the lips look flatter, cause fine lines, and diminish their once defined shape.
This treatment may be right for you if you …
- feel that your lips have become thinner or more asymmetrical than you’d like
- tend to notice your thin lips first in the mirror, rather than your overall expression
- notice your lip contour has changed over time
- don’t recognize yourself in photos because your lips show less expression than you feel
- don’t want “more,” just a better match – lips that suit your face
- value a subtle change without a “fake-looking” effect
What happens during a lip filler treatment?
We start by discussing what’s bothering you and what outcome you’d like from the treatment.
Then we conduct an expert assessment focusing on lip shape, symmetry, skin texture, and what makes sense medically and aesthetically.
For lip enhancement, a hyaluronic filler is injected using a fine needle or blunt cannula. The injection is done very precisely – for example, along the contour, at the cupid’s bow, or in the pink lip area.
Goals can include:
- a more defined contour
- gentle volume (e.g., for a fuller upper or lower lip)
- balancing minor asymmetries
- harmonizing the proportions
When will I see results?
Results are usually visible right after the treatment. Mild swelling or redness is normal during the first few days.
After about 1–2 weeks, the final result is clearly visible.
How long do the effects last?
Between 6 and 12 months. Regular touch-ups can help maintain the result over time.
How does the treatment work?
Initial consultation & assessment
We discuss your goals and what is both medically smart and aesthetically realistic. Then we assess your lip shape, symmetry, and skin condition in detail.
Treatment planning
Before treatment, the skin is cleaned and a numbing cream can be applied if desired. Together we decide where and how much hyaluronic acid will be injected.
Treatment
The lips are shaped using very fine needles or blunt cannulas.
Aftercare
You’ll receive care instructions for the first few days after your session. Mild swelling or redness can occur but usually fades quickly. After about 1–2 weeks, the final result is fully visible.
All treatments with hyaluronic fillers for the face are performed exclusively by experienced dermatology specialists:
- Dr. Benjamin Miller, dermatologist and phlebologist
- Dr. Markus Dendorfer, dermatologist with specialization in pediatric dermatology
Both have many years of experience in aesthetic dermatology and a keen sense for natural-looking results and personalized care.

FAQ – Common questions about lip enhancement with hyaluronic fillers
What is lip enhancement with fillers?
Lip enhancement involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips—for example, to build volume, improve contour, or correct asymmetries. The goal is a natural, well-balanced look.
What can lip fillers with hyaluronic acid do?
The treatment can create fuller lips, a clearer contour, or a fresher appearance. It can also help restore volume lost due to aging.
Are results visible immediately after lip fillers?
Yes—results are visible immediately after the session. Mild swelling in the first few days is normal. The final look is usually clear after about one week.
How long does hyaluronic acid last in the lips?
It depends on the type of filler, your metabolism, and your natural lip structure. On average, results last 6 to 12 months. Touch-ups are possible.
Is lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid painful?
Most people tolerate the treatment well. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and many fillers also contain a mild anesthetic. Injections are done with very fine needles or blunt cannulas.
What happens during a lip filler treatment?
After a personal consultation, hyaluronic acid is precisely injected where needed—like the cupid’s bow, along the contour, or in the pink area. The session typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Can the result look unnatural?
Not if applied correctly. The goal is always a subtle, natural-looking result—not oversized lips or artificial shapes.
What side effects can lip fillers have?
Mild swelling, small bruises, or temporary tightness can occur. Serious side effects are rare—especially with professional treatment and good patient education.
What should I watch out for after a lip enhancement?
For the first 24 hours, avoid exercise, saunas, high heat, and pressure on the lips. Cooling can help reduce swelling more quickly.
