Lip augmentation
Fuller, more hydrated lips with
a natural look
What is lip augmentation?
We perform lip augmentation by injecting hyaluronic acid into various areas of the lips.
We tailor the treatment to your individual needs, whether you want to enhance your upper or lower lip or simply improve your lip contour, always striving to achieve a natural and long-lasting result.
After the lip augmentation, we apply an arnica cream to massage the area and use ice to reduce any swelling, thereby minimizing health risks in the treated area following the procedure.
At home, you’ll also need to apply cold compresses and get massages during the first few hours; our specialists at the Dr. Ana Torres Institute will provide you with the instructions you need to follow.
What does the procedure involve?
We administer small amounts of hyaluronic acid injections at various points on the lips, depending on the area to be enhanced.
Hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen and elastin to keep lips plump and hydrated, resulting in a more natural look that helps you look younger.
For lip augmentation, we use the intradermal injection technique, which involves a very fine needle to minimize pain and discomfort; this also helps make the recovery process faster and less traumatic.
*You may experience some swelling and discomfort, which will gradually subside over the next few days
**The duration will depend on the type of filler used in the procedure, as each case is unique
