An absolutely great practice! From the very first moment I felt I was in the best hands. The doctor was not only very competent, but also incredibly friendly, attentive and empathetic. He took his time, explained everything in an understandable way and addressed my concerns with a lot of understanding. Great praise also to the medical assistant! You rarely meet such a warm, kind and helpful person. Her friendly manner immediately took away the nervousness and made you feel welcome. You can simply tell that here humanity and patient wellbeing come first. Many thanks for the outstanding care! I am completely satisfied and can recommend the practice from the heart!

Had 2 liposuctions at the clinic on my thighs/lower legs because of stage II/III lipedema, I am more than satisfied with the result and would do it again. You could tell with the team that an optimal result matters to them just as much as it does to me as a patient and I felt in very good hands. Alejandro Marti is really super nice and outdid himself both times. If I had to have surgery again, I would definitely go to him again. 🙂

I can really only recommend this practice to everyone! From the very beginning you simply feel comfortable and well taken care of here. Mr. Marti is very competent and takes a great deal of time for his patients. You can call the practice at any time with questions or uncertainties, or also write on WhatsApp. Dear Jasmin also deserves a special mention, she is very empathetic and always helps you with any questions. The two of them are simply a well-coordinated team and I really can only recommend the practice from the heart. A huge thank you once again!

What is Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid?

Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment where specially developed, body-identical hyaluronic acid is injected into the lips. The goal is to adjust lip volume, sculpt contours, and correct asymmetries – adhering to medical standards.

Hyaluronic acid has the ability to bind water. This not only gives the lips more fullness but also youthful smoothness and a fresh radiance. In the hands of experienced specialists, the treatment is safe, effective, and precisely controllable.

Why do patients choose lip augmentation?

The reasons are as individual as our patients themselves. Many desire:

  • More volume for thin lips
  • Symmetry and contour, e.g., emphasis of the Cupid's bow
  • Correction of age-related volume loss
  • More radiance and sensuality – without surgical intervention
  • Harmonization of facial proportions

The lips are central to facial expressions and communication – therefore, a subtle optimization can have an enormous effect on the overall expression.

Procedure for Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid

Before Treatment

In a detailed consultation, your wishes and anatomical conditions will be analyzed. Together, we determine the appropriate procedure – tailored to your facial proportions and desired lip shape.

On the day of treatment

After thorough cleansing of the lip area, anesthesia is applied using an anesthetic cream. Subsequently, the practitioner injects the hyaluronic acid precisely into defined areas – either for volume enhancement, contouring, or shape improvement. The treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

After the Treatment

Immediately after the treatment, the result is already visible. In the first few days, slight swelling or a feeling of pressure may occur. These usually subside quickly after one week.

Which technique do we use?

BONITAS uses exclusively high-quality hyaluronic acids that have been specially developed for the lip region. The injection is performed with the finest cannulas or needles – depending on the chosen technique:

  • Classic technique for volume augmentation
  • Contouring technique for defining the lip borders
  • Russian Lips technique for a centrally emphasized, heart-shaped look
  • Hydration & Glow for fine lip lines and fresh radiance
  • Lip Augmentation with Autologous Fat

Our treatment philosophy: Natural-looking results that fit the overall facial aesthetics. No overcorrections.

What results are possible?

Even a small amount of hyaluronic acid can make the lips appear visibly fuller and more defined. The results vary depending on the initial situation and desire, but are always:

  • Harmonious & natural
  • Immediately visible
  • Lasts 6–10 months
  • Can be refreshed anytime if needed

We don’t follow trends, but rather your individual aesthetics.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Treatment

  • Minimally invasive & almost painless
  • No downtime
  • Immediately visible result
  • Reversible
  • Natural-looking lip shape
  • Improvement of structure, volume, and symmetry
  • Gentle refreshment even with first signs of aging

Possible Risks and Side Effects

As with any injection, minor side effects may occur:

  • Temporary swelling or redness
  • Small bruises
  • Slight feeling of tightness or pressure
  • In very rare cases: nodule formation or intolerance

In our practice, we place the highest value on safety, sterile conditions, and professional application – to minimize risks.

Aftercare instructions

For optimal results, please note the following:

  • No sports, sauna, or solarium for 48 hours
  • No lip make-up on the day of treatment
  • Drink plenty of fluids, no alcohol on the same day
  • No hot beverages immediately after the treatment
  • Gently cool lips (do not press)
  • No pressure or massage on the lips

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How Long Does Hyaluronic Acid Last in the Lips?

The result of a lip augmentation usually lasts about 6 to 10 months. The exact duration varies individually, as each body breaks down hyaluronic acid at its own pace. However, experience shows that the effect is significantly prolonged after two to three treatments.

What should You not Do after Lip Augmentation?

For 24 hours, you should avoid pressure, heat, and strong blood circulation to the lips: no intense kissing, no hot food or alcohol, no make-up on the injection sites. It’s better to pause sauna, solarium, sports, and air travel for a few days, as heat and air pressure promote swelling. Cooling with a clean cold pack (10 min, cloth layer) and an upright sleeping position relieve swelling. Painkillers with acetylsalicylic acid can enlarge hematomas – it’s better to opt for paracetamol.

How much Does 1 Ml of Lip Filler Cost?

Our treatments are geared towards the highest quality standards in the premium segment. You can find the current prices in our price list for the most beautiful lips

Is 1 Ml of Lip Filler a Lot?

1 ml of lip filler / hyaluronic acid is considered a moderate volume: It visibly enhances the contour without making the lips look unnatural. Many patients start with 0.5 ml for a subtle result; 1 ml is suitable for correcting asymmetries or achieving more fullness. From 1.5–2 ml, one speaks of a “high-volume” look, which is often built up in two sessions to avoid overstretching the skin.

Does Lip Augmentation Hurt?

Before the injection, a local anesthetic cream is applied, so only a brief stinging sensation is noticeable during the injection (pain scale approximately 2–4 / 10). High-quality fillers also contain lidocaine, which further reduces discomfort. After the treatment, a feeling of pressure and swelling may occur, but these usually subside within 48–72 hours.
