Lip enhancement through hyaluronic acid injection is a modern aesthetic approach that helps correct asymmetries, restore lost volume, or enhance the natural shape of the lips. Whether to compensate for genetic deficiencies, rebalance irregularities due to previous treatments, or simply to meet a desire for enhancement inspired by current trends, these techniques are tailored solutions for every patient.
Beyond correction, beautification also applies to young lips, to accentuate specific features such as the Cupid’s bow, the tubercles, or to gently lift the corners of the mouth. These injections, performed with precision and in harmony with the facial structure, deliver natural and elegant results that align with patients' expectations.
• Light lift of the corners of the mouth.
• Subtle volume enhancement and tubercle definition.
• Lip contouring using the Virginia technique by Phillip Chang.
• Creation of a dip in the center of the lip.
• Widening of the lower lip’s arch.
• Correction of lip asymmetries.
• Upper lip volume enhancement : pillar technique by Anil Rajani.
Corner lift is a hyaluronic acid lip injection technique aimed at lifting the drooping corners of the mouth, which often contribute to a tired or sad appearance. This method relies on injecting hyaluronic acid into the lateral contours of the lower lip, creating a brighter and more harmonious expression. Hyaluronic acid, a biocompatible and resorbable filler, provides volume and structural support in this area.
This treatment is suitable for :
• Young patients with well-structured lips who wish for a slight correction to prevent drooping corners.
• Patients with mildly sagging mouth corners that give a sad or severe look.
• Patients looking for a non-surgical alternative to improve facial expression.
Mouth corners can sag for several reasons, including :
• Natural aging : with age, skin loses elasticity and tone, leading to sagging tissues around the mouth.
• Gravity : progressively accentuates tissue descent.
• Repetitive facial expressions : frequent movements like frowning or lip pursing can worsen this concern.
• Volume loss in the perioral area : caused by a natural decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid.
• External factors : such as prolonged sun exposure, smoking, or poor lifestyle habits.
This technique brings radiance to the face and smile and offers several benefits :
• Immediate and natural result.
• Quick procedure with no social downtime.
• Use of a safe and well-tolerated product.
• Overall facial improvement with a “glow” effect.
Tubercle definition is a hyaluronic acid lip injection technique aimed at delicately accentuating the natural lip tubercles – the small rounded areas that give a heart shape to the lips. This treatment highlights the heart-shaped appearance of the lips, an aesthetic criterion especially valued in Asia, and adds elegance and harmony to the mouth.
Through hyaluronic acid injections, this technique is a gentle and personalized solution to refine the lip contours and enhance the overall lip appearance without adding bulk.
This treatment targets :
• Lack of natural tubercle definition.
• Lips that lack shape or “plumpness.”
• A uniform lip shape in need of subtle enhancement.
This technique involves injecting hyaluronic acid directly into the lip tubercles.
• Personalized assessment : evaluating lip morphology to accurately target areas for enhancement.
• Targeted injection : small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected into the lip tubercles, focusing on the central area and natural curves.
• Harmonious result : hyaluronic acid hydrates and fills the tissues to subtly and elegantly highlight the lips.
The treatment is quick (a few minutes).
This treatment is especially suited to :
• Patients with naturally present lip tubercles who want to subtly enhance their definition.
• Patients seeking understated enhancement without major change.
• Patients looking for a refreshing “plump” effect for their lips.
Lips may lack definition or contour for various reasons :
• Genetic factors : some individuals naturally have less prominent or uniform lips.
• Aging : progressive loss of collagen and elasticity may soften the lip contours.
• Tissue dehydration : lack of hydration can make lips appear flat and dull.
• Exposure to external aggressors : sun, cold, or smoking can alter the lip’s appearance and texture.
• A natural and personalized result.
• A quick procedure with no social downtime.
• Subtle and elegant lip enhancement.
• A safe treatment using hyaluronic acid, performed by an experienced doctor.
Phillip Chang’s technique for lip border contouring is a hyaluronic acid injection method designed to subtly redefine the lip outline and gently lift the upper lip. Unlike some approaches that may create a “duck lips” effect, this technique delivers a natural result.
The main objective is to distribute small amounts of hyaluronic acid across a wide area to create a slight volume enhancement and a harmonious rounded shape. A beneficial side effect of this injection is the reduction of fine perioral wrinkles.
This method treats :
• Lack of natural definition of the lip border, often caused by aging or genetic factors.
• Mild volume loss related to age, resulting in a flat or elongated appearance of the upper lip.
• Perioral wrinkles.
• Natural lip retraction that visually reduces lip volume.
Phillip Chang’s technique is a gentle and targeted approach.
• Personalized assessment : evaluation of lip shape and skin structure to determine the areas to be treated.
• Precise injection : hyaluronic acid is injected into the cutaneous portion of the upper lip and evenly distributed across a wide surface.
• Natural effect : this distribution helps smooth fine lines, add slight roundness to the lip, and subtly lift the border.
• Immediate result : lips appear better defined and subtly rejuvenated.
This technique is particularly suited to :
• Patients with mild lip atrophy due to aging, resulting in loss of definition or volume.
• Patients with an elongated upper lip, giving the mouth a flat appearance.
• Patients seeking a natural effect without excessive volume enhancement.
• Patients concerned about wrinkles around the lips and looking for a discreet, effective solution.
The causes of lip border retraction and lack of definition include :
• Aging : decreased collagen production leads to tissue laxity and volume loss.
• Repetitive movements : such as lip pursing or frequent facial expressions, which deepen perioral wrinkles.
• Genetics : some people naturally have less defined or retracted lips.
• External factors : sun exposure, smoking, and poor hygiene contribute to the degradation of perioral skin tissues.
Phillip Chang’s technique is an ideal solution to enhance lips in a natural and elegant way. This approach offers several benefits :
• Subtle and natural enhancement of the lip border.
• Quick, minimally invasive treatment.
• Reduction of fine lines around the lips for rejuvenation of the area.
• Personalized technique tailored to each lip morphology.
Creating a dip in the middle of the lips is a hyaluronic acid injection technique that consists in forming or accentuating a central indentation on the lower lip—and if desired, on the upper lip. This treatment adds a sophisticated sensuality to the lips by enhancing their natural structure.
Using a combination of a guide thread (such as dental floss) and the bolus technique, hyaluronic acid is precisely injected to shape the lips, producing a natural and harmonious result.
This method is indicated for :
• Restoring a natural indentation lost due to age or volume depletion.
• Correcting aesthetic imbalance between the upper and lower lips.
• Improving lip symmetry in case of volume differences between the right and left sides.
• Beautifying the lips by creating a sculpted and refined effect.
The procedure is personalized :
• Lip analysis and marking : the lips are divided into four quadrants to ensure perfect symmetry.
• Placement of the guide thread : a guide thread is positioned between the teeth to create a well-defined central line, serving as a reference for injection.
• Hyaluronic acid injection : the product is evenly injected on each side of the line into the orbicularis oris muscle. This bolus technique sculpts a natural dip.
• Optional treatment of the upper lip : if requested, an injection can also be performed on the upper lip to accentuate the central groove.
• Final adjustments : volume and shape are fine-tuned to achieve the exact result desired by the patient.
The final result depends on the initial lip morphology and the quantity of hyaluronic acid injected.
This technique is ideal for :
• Patients seeking a sculpted, sensual effect by emphasizing the central groove of the lips.
• Patients whose natural indentation has faded due to aging or volume loss.
• Patients with lip asymmetries looking to enhance harmony.
• Patients seeking subtle and natural enhancement without excessive volume.
A lack of central definition or absence of a lip dip may be due to :
• Natural aging : reduced skin elasticity and tissue volume.
• Genetic factors : some individuals naturally lack a well-defined groove.
• Volume imbalance between the upper and lower lips or between the left and right sides.
• Exposure to external factors such as smoking, sun, or insufficient hydration.
This technique gives a refined mouth and perfectly sculpted lips, subtly enhancing the smile.
It offers several benefits :
• A precise technique for a natural and refined look.
• A quick, minimally invasive procedure with immediate visible results.
• A subtle enhancement that respects the natural lip shape.
• A safe treatment using biocompatible, resorbable hyaluronic acid.
Lower lip arch widening is a hyaluronic acid injection technique aimed at subtly reshaping and expanding the lower lip.
By using hyaluronic acid injections, the contour of the lip is laterally adjusted and becomes fuller and more harmonious, while maintaining the natural balance of the face.
This method focuses on accentuating the points of the lower lip opposite the Cupid’s bow, creating symmetrical alignment and visually widening the lower lip.
This technique is indicated to correct or enhance :
• A lower lip considered too thin or narrow compared to the upper lip.
• An aesthetic misalignment between the contour of the lips and the proportions of the face.
• A poorly defined lateral curve, requiring subtle enhancement.
• An overly extended Cupid’s bow, which creates an imbalance in the lips.
The procedure takes place in several steps.
• Personalized analysis : assessment of the lip shape and marking of strategic injection points.
• Targeted injection : a fine needle is inserted under the contour of the lower lip, precisely below each point opposite the Cupid’s bow. The linear technique is used to inject the hyaluronic acid upward toward the vermilion. The injection is performed laterally to accentuate the widening.
• Even distribution : the hyaluronic acid is injected precisely to ensure a natural and symmetrical effect, without overloading the area.
• Volume control : the amount of hyaluronic acid injected is adjusted based on the desired effect in order to preserve the harmony of the lips and meet the patient’s expectations.
This method is particularly suitable for :
• Patients with a lower lip that is too thin or underdeveloped compared to the upper lip.
• Patients seeking a subtle and natural enhancement of their lips without excessive volume.
• Patients wishing to correct an overly wide Cupid’s bow and harmonize lip proportions.
• Patients seeking a discreet improvement adapted to the morphology of their face.
The factors that may lead to a narrow or poorly defined lower lip include :
• Natural aging : over time, the lips may lose their volume and definition.
• Genetic characteristics : some individuals naturally have a thinner or asymmetrical lower lip.
• Natural imbalances between the upper and lower lips.
• Habits or environmental factors : sun exposure, dehydration, or repeated expressions can alter the lip structure.
Lower lip arch widening subtly transforms the lips, redefines and enhances the smile with elegance.
The benefits include :
• A natural and subtle enhancement of the lower lip.
• A quick procedure with no social downtime.
• A treatment adapted to each patient through personalized analysis.
• A safe and effective technique when performed by an experienced doctor.
Correction of lip asymmetries with hyaluronic acid injection is a medical technique designed to restore balance and harmony to the lips. This method corrects differences in shape, volume or contour between the upper and lower lip, or between the right and left sides of the lips.
Hyaluronic acid, a biocompatible and resorbable product, is used to correct irregularities and adjust proportions while maintaining a natural appearance.
This technique corrects :
• Congenital or genetic asymmetries present from birth.
• Imbalances caused by injuries or trauma.
• Irregularities resulting from previous aesthetic treatments, such as poorly performed injections.
• Natural differences, or those caused by aging, in shape or volume between the two sides of the lips.
The procedure takes place in several steps.
• Lip analysis : identification of asymmetric areas and evaluation of overall proportions. Precise marking is done to define the injection points.
• Determination of the causes of asymmetry : the treatment depends on the origin of the issue (genetic, traumatic, or other).
• Targeted injection : hyaluronic acid is injected into the specific areas requiring adjustment. The technique and volume used vary depending on individual needs, ensuring a subtle and natural correction.
• Control and adjustments : the lips are massaged and shaped to ensure optimal symmetry after injection.
This method is ideal for :
• Patients presenting lip asymmetries.
• Patients dissatisfied with previous aesthetic procedures, such as failed or unbalanced injections.
• Patients seeking a subtle improvement in the harmony and proportion of the lips.
This method does not yield satisfactory results in some specific cases. In particular, it is ineffective for correcting asymmetry caused by pigmentation differences between the two sides of the lips, as this issue is pigmentary in nature and cannot be treated with hyaluronic acid injections. Furthermore, in the presence of significant post-traumatic fibrosis from injury or burns, the stiffened scar tissue may limit the effectiveness of the correction and compromise the expected result.

Upper lip augmentation using the pillar technique is a hyaluronic acid injection aimed at slightly projecting the upper lip when its lateral part is too flat or inverted. This technique primarily targets areas where the vermilion (the colored part of the lip) is barely visible, while maintaining the natural balance and beauty of the smile.
Thanks to targeted hyaluronic acid injections, this method restores volume and improves the structure of the lip while respecting its initial morphology.
This technique corrects :
• Inversion of the lateral segments of the upper lip, making the vermilion nearly invisible.
• Lack of volume in the lateral parts of the upper lip, often in contrast to a well-defined central segment.
• A flat or poorly defined appearance of the upper lip, affecting the overall facial harmony.
The pillar technique is a precise and progressive approach :
• Initial analysis : evaluation of the upper lip’s morphology to determine whether the issue is due to a lack of volume or inversion of the lateral segments. This analysis is essential, as the method is less effective if the lips are extremely thin or have very little volume.
• Marking of the areas to be treated : the upper lip is divided into two halves and 5 to 6 injection points are identified on each side.
• Targeted injection : a fine needle is inserted at the contour of the lip, gradually moving toward the wet/dry border. Small amounts of hyaluronic acid are injected using the retrograde bolus technique at strategic points to restore volume and lift the inverted segments. During injection, the lip is slightly everted to ensure even distribution of the product.
• Continuous visual monitoring : adjustment of each product deposit based on the specific needs of each patient to achieve a natural and balanced result.
The causes of the abnormalities corrected by this technique are :
• Natural aging : loss of volume and firmness may cause inversion of the lateral segments of the lip.
• Genetic characteristics : some individuals are born with a thin or poorly defined upper lip, especially laterally.
• Environmental factors : smoking, sun exposure or dehydration may alter the structure and appearance of the lips.
• Anatomical imbalances : a normal central segment with flat or underdeveloped lateral sides.
Looking to enhance your upper lip while preserving its natural look ? The pillar technique is ideal. Advantages include :
• A targeted approach for a natural and balanced result.
• A fast technique with immediately visible results.
• A subtle improvement in volume and structure of the upper lip.
• A safe and personalized treatment using hyaluronic acid.

Pour des lèvres naturellement définies, les injections d’acide hyaluronique en petite quantité permettent de redessiner le contour, notamment l’arc de Cupidon, sans excès de volume. L’utilisation de techniques précises et d’un acide hyaluronique fluide assure un résultat subtil. Un soin régulier, avec des gommages doux et des baumes hydratants, contribue également à une meilleure définition naturelle.
L’embellissement des lèvres vise à améliorer leur forme, leur symétrie et leur contour sans nécessairement ajouter du volume. Cela inclut la définition des contours, l’hydratation et le lissage des ridules. En revanche, l’augmentation de volume consiste à rendre les lèvres plus pulpeuses en injectant davantage d’acide hyaluronique.
Oui, il est possible d’améliorer l’apparence des lèvres fines en les hydratant, en redessinant légèrement les contours et en corrigeant les asymétries. Cette approche subtile offre un rendu naturel sans nécessairement augmenter le volume des lèvres.
Oui, les injections d’acide hyaluronique très fluides permettent de lisser les ridules et de redonner de la souplesse aux lèvres sans modifier leur volume. Cette technique de réhydratation améliore la texture et l’élasticité pour un résultat naturel et rajeuni.
Oui, une routine de soins adaptée prolonge la durée des résultats. Il est conseillé de bien hydrater les lèvres quotidiennement, de protéger la zone contre les agressions extérieures (soleil, froid), et d’éviter de fumer. Une bonne hydratation interne, en buvant suffisamment d’eau, et l’utilisation de soins enrichis en acide hyaluronique augmentent également la longévité des injections.
