Lip augmentation is a non-surgical procedure aimed at improving the volume, shape, and symmetry of the lips. Using injectable products such as hyaluronic acid, it is possible to :
• Restore lip volume.
• Redefine contours for a more structured look.
• Correct asymmetries and harmonize proportions.
• Deeply hydrate the lips for a fresh and plumped appearance.
Depending on the patient's goals and preferences, several injection techniques can be performed. Each offers specific benefits and is suited to different patient profiles.
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections is an increasingly popular aesthetic procedure among patients who wish to enhance their smile and improve the harmony of their face.
Whether you desire slightly fuller lips or a more pronounced augmentation, various techniques are adapted to the needs and expectations of each patient.
Motivations are specific to each patient, but the most common reasons include :
• The desire for fuller lips : for a glamorous and attractive look.
• Age-related volume loss : over time, lips may thin and lose elasticity.
• Natural or acquired asymmetry : to rebalance proportions and restore facial harmony.
• A subtle enhancement of appearance : to beautify the face while maintaining a natural look.
This procedure is suitable for :
• Patients wishing to improve the appearance or symmetry of their lips.
• Patients seeking a subtle or more pronounced volume increase.
• Patients looking to prevent or correct the effects of aging on the lips.
Choosing lip augmentation allows to :
• Boost self-confidence through enhanced appearance.
• Achieve quick, personalized results without surgery.
• Enjoy a reversible effect, as hyaluronic acid is naturally absorbed.
For safe and aesthetically pleasing results, it is essential to entrust the treatment to an experienced doctor who masters the various lip augmentation techniques and guides the patient through the entire process, from the initial consultation to post-treatment follow-up.
Several techniques exist :
• Minimal 4-point technique.
• Subtle lip volume augmentation.
• Classic lip volume augmentation.
• Moderate lip volume augmentation.
• Extreme lip volume augmentation.
• Lip tenting technique by TOM VAN EJIK.
Lip augmentation is an aesthetic medicine procedure that allows the lips to be redefined and enhanced using hyaluronic acid. The 4-point technique is an innovative method that offers subtle and natural results.
The 4-point technique involves injecting small quantities of hyaluronic acid into strategic points of the lips. It allows to :
• Rehydrate and plump the lips.
• Correct minor asymmetries.
• Provide subtle volume while maintaining a natural appearance.
• Accentuate natural curves such as the Cupid’s bow.
This method is ideal for patients seeking a discreet and harmonious result.
This technique is particularly indicated for the following imperfections :
• Age-related atrophy : lips naturally lose volume and definition over time.
• Thin lips.
• Minor asymmetries : to rebalance lip proportions.
After a preliminary consultation, Doctor Romano performs hyaluronic acid injections in the targeted areas :
• Injection site location : each lip is divided into two quadrants. Injections are made in the center of each quadrant.
• Anatomical landmarks : for the upper lip, injections are placed just below the peaks of the Cupid’s bow (between 0.5 and 0.7 cm depending on needs).
• Minimal volume : only small amounts of product are injected to achieve a subtle result.
• Equipment used : the injection is performed with a fine needle for high precision.
This method is adapted to each patient’s specific needs, allowing for complete personalization.
The 4-point technique is recommended for :
• Patients with mild to moderate age-related lip atrophy.
• Patients with naturally thin lips seeking a subtle volume increase.
• Patients looking to correct minor asymmetry or refine a previous augmentation.
Factors responsible for thin or asymmetrical lips include :
• Natural aging : decreased production of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
• Genetic factors : some people naturally have thinner or asymmetrical lips.
• Chronic dehydration : loss of hydration can reduce lip volume.
• Environmental factors : sun exposure, smoking, and pollution contribute to fine lines and loss of fullness.
The 4-point technique with hyaluronic acid injection is an ideal solution for patients seeking a discreet and natural improvement of their lips. Thanks to surgical precision and the use of small product amounts, this method guarantees harmonious and natural results.
Subtle lip augmentation is a discreet method of increasing lip volume through hyaluronic acid injection. This approach focuses mainly on restoring volume in the central part of the lips for a natural and balanced result.
Subtle augmentation with hyaluronic acid aims to restore or enhance lip volume in a natural way. The main characteristics of this method are :
• Targeted volume : the volume increase is performed mainly in the central area of each lip.
• Discreet result : ideal for a first approach to lip augmentation.
• Progressive improvement : offers a fresher, more youthful appearance without an artificial effect.
This method is particularly suited for :
• Age-related atrophy : lips may lose volume and definition over time.
• Central volume deficit : lack of fullness in the central lip area.
• Desire for a subtle result : perfect for patients seeking a light but visible change.
After an initial consultation, Doctor Romano proceeds with the injection following a precise and meticulous procedure :
• Marking the treatment area : the central zones of the lips are identified and marked.
• Fine needle injection : performed using the linear retrograde technique to ensure precision and control.
• Product placement :
For the upper lip : injection in the lower third along approximately 1.5 cm (adjusted to lip width).
For the lower lip : injection in the center, along a predefined line.
• Controlled volume : the injected quantities are adjusted to the patient’s needs and preferences.
This approach ensures a natural result that respects facial proportions.
This technique is suitable for different patient profiles :
• Patients with age-related atrophy seeking to restore lost volume.
• Patients with a central volume deficit in the lips who desire rebalancing.
• Patients wishing for a first subtle augmentation without drastic change.
• Patients who have already had augmentation and want to refine the result.
Several factors can explain volume loss in the lips :
• Natural aging : decreased collagen and elastin.
• Genetic factors : naturally thin or asymmetrical lips.
• Environmental conditions : sun exposure, pollution, and dehydration.
• Lifestyle habits : smoking, stress, and poor diet, which accelerate volume loss.
Subtle lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection is an ideal solution for patients looking to add volume to their lips while maintaining a natural look. The targeted approach and expert technique allow for personalized results that enhance the lips without overloading them.
Classic lip augmentation is a hyaluronic acid injection technique used to create uniform and harmonious volume. This method provides fuller lips while correcting asymmetries and age-related volume loss.
Classic lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections is based on a traditional technique that targets the vermilion, the red part of the lips, to increase their volume. Its main features are :
• Uniformity : homogeneous increase of lip volume.
• Personalization : possibility to adjust the amount of volume, from moderate to pronounced.
• Adapted technique : allows sculpting of the lips according to the aesthetic needs and preferences of the patient.
This method is ideal for correcting or improving the following situations :
• General lack of volume : for fuller, well-defined lips.
• Visible asymmetries : reshaping of the lips to balance their shape.
• Age-related deficits : restoration of lost volume and reduction of aging signs.
After the initial consultation and disinfection of the area to be treated, Doctor Romano performs the classic augmentation technique by following a specific and rigorous procedure to ensure optimal results :
Classic lip augmentation addresses a wide variety of needs :
• Individuals wishing to increase the overall volume of their lips, whether moderately or significantly.
• Patients with visible asymmetries seeking aesthetic reshaping.
• Patients with age-related volume loss who want to restore fullness and the natural shape of their lips.
The problems addressed by this method may be caused by several factors :
• Natural aging : loss of collagen and elasticity with age.
• Genetic factors : naturally thin or asymmetrical lips.
• Lifestyle habits : prolonged sun exposure, smoking, or insufficient hydration.
• Environmental effects : pollution and oxidative stress accelerating tissue aging.
Classic lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection is a safe and effective technique to achieve customized results. Thanks to its adaptable approach, it meets the aesthetic needs of every patient, whether for a subtle or more pronounced enhancement.
This proven and personalized technique aims to enhance the lips with elegance.
Moderate lip volume enhancement through hyaluronic acid injections is a technique that consists in restoring or enhancing the volume of the lips.
Moderate lip augmentation aims to offer natural and balanced volume, ideal for patients seeking a discreet but visible result. The technique is based on:
• The use of a blunt-tipped cannula or a needle to perform the injections.
• Precise and uniform injection for a harmonious outcome.
• A carefully planned treatment map to ensure perfect symmetry.
This method is indicated to :
• Correct a natural lack of lip volume.
• Restore volume lost with age.
• Improve lip definition without an artificial effect.
During the initial consultation, Doctor Romano precisely assesses the lip morphology. The doctor defines the areas to be treated and the quantity of product needed for a harmonious and symmetrical result.
Injection technique
An entry point is made with a needle on each side of the mouth.
The blunt cannula is then inserted into this opening to reach the deeper layers of the lips.
Hyaluronic acid is gently injected up to the middle of the lips.
The product is placed in the vermilion, above the orbicularis oris muscle.
Prominent labial tubercles are avoided to preserve a natural look.
This technique is recommended for :
• Individuals with a slight lack of lip volume.
• Patients seeking discreet and natural improvement.
It is particularly suited for patients wanting a refined and subtle look, without marked modification.
Several factors may justify the use of this method :
• Genetics : lips may be naturally thin or poorly defined.
• Aging effects : a gradual decrease in volume and elasticity with age.
• Personal aesthetic preferences : the desire for a harmonious and discreet result.
• Reduced trauma thanks to the use of a blunt-tipped cannula.
• Lower risk of bruising and swelling compared to a traditional needle.
• Balanced and uniform results for perfect symmetry.
This technique is the ideal compromise between subtlety and effectiveness, meeting the expectations of patients wishing to enhance their lips while maintaining a natural look and moderate volume.
Extreme lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection is a technique intended for patients who wish to achieve significant volume for very plump lips. This method requires a precise analysis of the area to be treated, as well as rigorous technical expertise, in order to guarantee a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing result.
Extreme lip augmentation involves injecting a large amount of hyaluronic acid into the lips to achieve substantial volume. This technique relies on the combined use of specific injection methods, such as bolus and fanning, to shape and plump the lips significantly.
This method meets the needs of patients who wish to :
• Significantly increase the volume of their lips.
• Correct lips considered too thin or lacking projection.
• Achieve a glamorous and bold look.
• Initial consultation
A thorough evaluation of the lips’ anatomy is carried out by Doctor Romano to identify the areas to be treated. This ensures respect for the lips’ morphology and helps avoid product migration.
• Bolus and fanning injection :
o Bolus : large amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected in the center of the lips to create a pronounced projection effect. Once the center is treated, the lateral segments are adjusted for an aesthetic and harmonious result.
o Fanning : a technique used to distribute hyaluronic acid and harmonize contours by spreading the product evenly, avoiding irregularities.
• Gradual result :
To avoid undesirable effects such as deformation or migration, this extreme augmentation technique is often performed in several stages.
Adjustments are discussed with the patient for a tailor-made result.
This technique is particularly indicated for :
• Patients seeking a significant and bold aesthetic transformation.
• People with naturally thin lips wishing for a visibly enhanced look.
• Patients aiming for a highly glamorous appearance.
However, it is not recommended for :
• Patients with unrealistic expectations.
• Patients whose lip anatomy does not allow for significant volume without risk of migration.
• Patients with contraindications to hyaluronic acid injections.
Several factors may explain the desire for extreme lip augmentation :
• Genetics : naturally thin or asymmetrical lips.
• Aging : loss of volume and elasticity with age.
• Trends and personal aesthetic desire : pursuit of a more pronounced and glamorous look.
• It is essential to respect the natural anatomy to avoid side effects such as the “duck lip” effect or product migration.
• A progressive approach is recommended to ensure aesthetic results and avoid deformation.
• Clear communication with the doctor is crucial to define realistic expectations.
The lip tenting technique is a refined method of lip augmentation aimed at creating a natural, convex curvature of the upper lip. Through multiple targeted injections of hyaluronic acid, this approach delivers subtle and harmonious results while respecting the lips’ natural anatomy. The lip tenting technique offers an elegant solution to enhance the lips while preserving their morphology. This treatment combines aesthetics and precision for durable, personalized results.
The lip tenting technique involves injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid just outside the lip contour, in the “lip roll” zone (the soft, pale border just above the vermilion). This approach :
• Accentuates the curvature of the upper lip and enhances the Cupid’s bow shape.
• Adds moderate volume for slightly fuller lips.
• Avoids artificial effects such as the “duck lip” appearance.
This method is ideal for correcting or improving :
• A natural volume deficit in the lips.
• A visible asymmetry between the upper and lower lips.
• Narrow or thin lips that retract on the sides in profile view.
• Lips lacking definition or contour in the vermilion border.
An initial assessment allows Doctor Romano to identify the areas needing correction or volume enhancement to carefully plan dosage and injection sites.
After disinfection, the doctor performs injections at regular intervals (2–3 mm) along the upper and lower lips. The injection points are located at the lip roll, the virtual line just outside the lip edge. At each needle withdrawal, a small amount of hyaluronic acid is injected (less than 0.03 ml per injection).
This technique is based on two principles :
• Creation of vertical columns :
o Hyaluronic acid is injected into the muscular part of the lips to form supportive column-like structures.
o These columns enhance the contour of the lips while maintaining a natural look.
• Overfilling prevention :
o The lip roll is not directly filled to prevent unsightly thickening of the lip border.
o Injections are not too superficial to avoid visible or palpable lumps.
The lip tenting technique is indicated for :
• Patients seeking moderate lip volume enhancement with a natural result.
• Patients with asymmetry or lack of lip definition.
• Patients with thin, narrow lips or lips that flatten on the sides.
• Patients looking for a subtle and natural aesthetic improvement.
Several factors may justify a lip tenting treatment :
• Genetics : naturally thin or poorly defined lips.
• Aging : progressive loss of volume and structure over time.
• Facial proportions : asymmetry or imbalance between upper and lower lips.
• Aesthetic preferences : desire for a refined and discreet look, without drastic change.
• Natural enhancement of lip curvature and shape.
• Reduced risk of visible side effects thanks to evenly distributed micro-doses.
• Preservation of a subtle and harmonious appearance without overfilling.
• Targeted improvement of the Cupid’s bow and lip symmetry.
• The doctor’s precision and experience are essential for optimal and natural results.
