The Brazilian Hug Lips technique is a hyaluronic acid injection method specifically designed to treat lips showing advanced signs of aging, such as inversion and atrophy.
Unlike traditional approaches, it focuses not only on volume, but also on restoring the structure and function of the lips.
The main goals of the Brazilian Hug Lips method are :
• Correcting lip inversion : by restoring support and repositioning tissues, the upper lip regains its natural curve.
• Restoring volume : the technique targets the areas most affected by volume loss for a subtle and harmonious result.
• Redefining contours : the Cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth are restructured for a sharp and natural definition.
• Improving hydration : hyaluronic acid is well known for its hydrating properties.
With age, the lips undergo significant changes : volume loss, inversion of the upper lip and tissue atrophy. These transformations can alter the overall appearance of the face and sometimes affect self-confidence.
These modifications are difficult to treat. The Brazilian Hug Lips method offers a non-surgical and personalized solution to restore lip beauty and youthfulness.
Brazilian Hug Lips is particularly suited for patients over fifty with inverted and atrophied lips.
This method differs from other injection techniques :
• Restoring the lips’ natural curve : the principle of the technique is to reposition the tissues to reverse the inward folding. The lips recover their original shape and harmony.
• Subtle and natural results : the goal is not to add excessive volume, but to restore the lips’ structure and youthful appearance. This guarantees a discreet and refined effect.
• Hydration and smoothing of fine lines : thanks to its hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid reduces fine lines on the vermilion.
• Smile enhancement : by correcting asymmetries and redefining the contours, Brazilian Hug Lips beautifies and rejuvenates the smile.
• Non-invasive and quick procedure : unlike surgical interventions, this technique requires no incisions or general anesthesia and involves no social downtime.
This technique is particularly indicated for :
• Patients over fifty with inverted and atrophied lips.
• Patients seeking a natural improvement without excessive volume.
• Patients looking to rejuvenate the mouth area.
• Patients wanting to avoid invasive procedures such as surgical lip lifting. However, the result of Brazilian Hug Lips is less significant than that obtained by surgical lip lift.
During the first consultation, Doctor Romano examines the morphology of your lips and discusses your expectations.
This step is essential to establish a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
The Brazilian Hug Lips technique is an innovative and meticulous approach to enhancing the lips using hyaluronic acid injections.
Before the injections, the area is cleansed and disinfected. A numbing cream may be applied.
For the injection, Doctor Romano uses flexible microcannulas.
The flexibility of the cannulas and their blunt tips allow for greater precision while minimizing trauma, thereby reducing the risk of bruising. These characteristics favor quick recovery and optimal comfort for the patient.
The goal is to create a “C”-shaped contour across the lips and ensure even distribution of the product for natural results.
When treating the upper lip, two entry points are made beneath each nasal wing. The microcannula is inserted at this level and guided through the subdermal and submuscular planes.
A bolus of hyaluronic acid is deposited, followed by a retrograde injection up to the vermilion–white transition.
The cannula movement mimics a “hug” as it wraps around the lip — hence the name of the technique.
This precise injection allows for sculpting and harmonizing the lip contour without compromising its natural appearance.
For the lower lip, the technique is adapted by dividing the area into two segments and using a similar approach.
The product is gradually deposited along the lip contour for a balanced and refined result.
Initial results are visible immediately after the session.
However, the final result generally appears after about ten days, once the product has integrated into the tissues and post-injection swelling has subsided.
What to expect :
• Subtly plumped and rejuvenated lips.
• Correction of lip inversion and restoration of a natural, harmonious curve.
• Well-defined contours, especially at the Cupid’s bow and corners of the mouth.
• Improved lip texture and hydration.
The effects of Brazilian Hug Lips usually last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the patient’s individual characteristics, metabolism, and the type of product used.
Over time, several factors contribute to these changes :
• Loss of collagen and elastin : these essential proteins provide firmness and elasticity. Their decline causes thinning and sagging of the lips.
• Bone resorption : the resorption of the maxillary bone reduces the structural support of the lips, accentuating their inversion.
• Decrease in muscle tone : the perioral muscles weaken, which increases the inversion (inward folding) of the upper lip.
• Skin aging : fine lines and dehydration around the lips alter their overall appearance.
• Environmental factors : smoking, sun exposure, and an unhealthy lifestyle accelerate these processes.

La technique Brazilian Hug Lips vise à corriger les lèvres inversées et atrophiées, souvent dues au vieillissement. Elle se concentre sur la restauration de la courbe naturelle des lèvres, la redéfinition des contours tels que l’arc de Cupidon, et l’amélioration de l’hydratation pour un aspect rajeuni et harmonieux.
Le Brazilian Hug Lips est indiqué principalement aux lèvres présentant des signes avancés de vieillissement, en restaurant leur structure et leur fonction sans ajouter de volume excessif. En revanche, la technique Russian Lips augmente l’hauteur et améliore la définition de l’arc de Cupidon pour créer une forme en cœur, souvent avec une augmentation de volume.
Oui, le Brazilian Hug Lips peut être adapté aux personnes ayant déjà reçu des injections, notamment si elles présentent des signes de vieillissement des lèvres tels que l’inversion ou l’atrophie. Une évaluation préalable par un médecin expérimenté permettra de déterminer la meilleure approche pour chaque cas.
