What are Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the fullness, shape, and definition of the lips, creating a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. This treatment typically involves the use of injectable dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in the body), though other methods include fat transfer, lip implants, or lip lifts. The procedure is generally performed in-office with minimal downtime, providing temporary results that last approximately 12-18 months depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism. While most commonly sought for cosmetic enhancement, lip augmentation can also address age-related volume loss or asymmetry, helping patients achieve natural-looking, proportionate lips that complement their facial features.

Conditions We Treat With Lip Augmentation

We use Lip Augmentation to treat conditions that have demonstrated good response to this treatment at our St James's practice. Our qualified team evaluates your specific condition to ensure Lip Augmentation is the best choice. We provide clear information about which conditions improve most from Lip Augmentation treatment.


  • Thin or Undefined Lips - Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid fillers can add volume and definition to naturally thin lips, creating a more balanced facial appearance.

  • Age-Related Volume Loss - As we age, lips can lose volume and definition. Injectable dermal fillers restore plumpness and youthful contours to the lips.

  • Asymmetrical Lips - Lip enhancement procedures can correct natural asymmetry or unevenness between the upper and lower lips for a more harmonious appearance.

  • Downturned Corners of the Mouth - Strategic placement of fillers can lift the corners of the mouth that have begun to turn downward with age, creating a more positive expression.

  • Poorly Defined Lip Border - Lip augmentation can enhance the vermillion border (lip margin) to create more definition and a clearer outline to the lips.

  • Lip Lines and Wrinkles - Fine lines around the mouth and on the lips themselves can be smoothed with appropriate lip fillers as part of a facial rejuvenation approach.

  • Disproportionate Upper and Lower Lips - For patients with an imbalance between upper and lower lip volume, lip enhancement can create more harmonious proportions.

  • Post-Trauma Lip Deformities - Non-surgical lip augmentation can help improve the appearance of lips affected by previous injury or scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lip augmentation?


Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure performed at London Dental Specialists that creates fuller, more defined, and youthful-looking lips. This in-office treatment can enhance your natural lip shape or restore volume lost due to ageing. We offer various types of lip augmentation techniques to suit your specific needs and aesthetic goals, with most procedures being nonsurgical and using dermal fillers to temporarily enhance lip volume and contour.



How long do lip augmentation results last?


Lip augmentation results at London Dental Specialists typically last between 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and your individual metabolism. Premium fillers may maintain results for up to 18 months with proper care. For optimal and long-lasting results, we recommend scheduling routine touch-up treatments every 6-12 months to maintain your desired lip volume and shape.



What types of lip augmentation procedures do you offer?


At London Dental Specialists, we offer several lip augmentation options including:



  • Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers (the most common option)

  • Fat transfer/grafting using your own natural tissue

  • Lip lifts for permanent enhancement of the upper lip

  • Customised treatment plans combining different techniques


During your consultation, our specialists will recommend the most suitable procedure based on your desired results and facial structure.



Is lip augmentation painful?


Lip augmentation at London Dental Specialists involves minimal discomfort. We use topical anaesthetics and fillers containing lidocaine to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients report feeling only a slight pinch or pressure sensation during treatment. Any mild discomfort typically subsides within a few hours after the procedure, and over-the-counter pain relief can be used if needed.



What is the difference between lip fillers and lip augmentation?


Lip fillers are a type of lip augmentation that involves injecting temporary dermal fillers to add volume. Lip augmentation is the broader term that encompasses all procedures that enhance lip appearance, including more involved techniques offered at London Dental Specialists such as fat grafting (transferring fat from another part of your body), lip lifts (a minor surgical procedure), and customised combination approaches. While fillers are temporary, some augmentation methods can provide longer-lasting or permanent results.



Is lip augmentation safe?


Yes, lip augmentation at London Dental Specialists is safe when performed by our qualified dental professionals. Our specialists have extensive training in facial aesthetics and use only approved, high-quality products. The procedures have minimal downtime and few risks when performed correctly. It's also safe to combine lip augmentation with other facial rejuvenation treatments we offer. All procedures begin with a thorough consultation to ensure they're appropriate for your specific situation.



What is the recovery time after lip augmentation?


Recovery after lip augmentation at London Dental Specialists is typically quick. Most patients experience some swelling and possible bruising for 24-48 hours after the procedure. These effects usually subside within 1-3 days for filler treatments. You can resume most normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol consumption for 24 hours after treatment. Complete healing with final results is usually visible within 1-2 weeks.



Who is a good candidate for lip augmentation?


Good candidates for lip augmentation at London Dental Specialists include individuals who:



  • Desire fuller, more defined lips

  • Have naturally thin lips or lost volume due to ageing

  • Have asymmetrical lips that need balancing

  • Are in good overall health

  • Have realistic expectations about the results


During your consultation, our specialists will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if lip augmentation is right for you.



How much does lip augmentation cost at London Dental Specialists?


The cost of lip augmentation at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the type of procedure, the amount of filler used, and your specific treatment plan. During your initial consultation, we will provide a detailed quote based on your individual needs and desired results. We offer various payment options and occasionally have special promotions for aesthetic treatments. The investment reflects the quality of products used and the expertise of our specialists in delivering natural-looking results.
