Why Lips Lose Volume Over Time
Lip shape and fullness are largely influenced by collagen, a vital structural protein in the body. Collagen production begins to decline in our early twenties, leading to thinner lips, fine lines, and reduced definition. This natural aging process can make the face appear older than you feel. Lip enhancement treatments help restore lost volume and improve overall lip appearance.
What Is Lip Augmentation?
Also known as lip enhancement, is a cosmetic surgery that improves the shape, size, and overall appearance of your lip . With the growing demand for non-surgical aesthetic treatments,Turkey has become a popular destination for patients seeking safe, high-quality lip filler procedures performed by skilled professionals..
Non-surgical lip fillers typically take about 20–30 minutes, with results lasting several months depending on the product used. Treatments can be repeated to maintain the desired look.
Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid — a substance naturally found in the body — which adds volume while keeping the lips soft and natural.
Is Lip Enhancement Right for You?
To answer this question, you must ask yourself why you want to modify your lip . You should not undergo this procedure unless you want to alter your appearance.
.Lip fillers should be done for you, not to meet someone else’s expectations or unrealistic beauty standards.
Enhanced lips can make your lips appear plumper and fuller while preserving your natural look and individuality. At Cayra Clinic, our qualified doctors will discuss the pros and cons of your lip augmentation options and guide you in choosing the technique or product that best suits your needs.
The procedure can be done in two ways:
Lip Injections/Non-Surgical Mentation:
Lip augmentation is done non-surgically using dermal filler injections and does not require incisions or anesthesia. But, patients might choose to have the areas numbed with some topical anesthesia to prevent needle pai . Also, some dermal fillers may contain hyaluronic acid that binds with water, increasing the lip volume via natural hydratio . Other ingredients might trigger the body to make more collagen, a structural component that restores firmness, elasticity, and volume, enhancing lip volume for several month . Dermal filler is injected with the help of a thin needle along the outline of the lips.
Lip implants:
Lip implants give long-lasting results compared to dermal fillers. This procedure involves making two small incisions to insert implants into the lip. It takes around an hour and requires numbing the air. In some exceptional cases, dermal fillers and implants can be combined for an effective treatment.
How the Procedure Is Performed?
Once having your appointment scheduled, you need to prepare adequately. If you smoke, you will be advised to stop smoking before the surgery. If you have oral herpes, you may be asked to take antiviral medication as a precaution.
During the procedure, a natural or synthetic biocompatible material is injected into the lips. Typically, a single injection is sufficient to achieve the desired results, although these results may be temporary, depending on the material used. The precise placement of the injected material is critical for achieving optimal results.
In some cases, Alloderm—a natural collagen sheet derived from donated skin—may be used. This material is inserted through small incisions made at the corners of the mouth. Once the Alloderm implant is properly positioned, it integrates with the natural tissues to enhance the lips effectively.
the procedure is based on different types of filling. The fillers which contain hyaluronic acid-like substances are the safest and most common method toda . Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body, capable of blowing and giving volume to the lip . Filler lip augmentation can be carried out gradually in several sessions until the patient gets the desired result. It can melt quickly, with side effects of low risk, such as swelling or allergies. It also has long-lasting but non-permanent results.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
The candidates must have reasonable expectations of the result. Although the filler makes the lips fuller and more attractive, avoiding thinking about the ideal images followed by the ad is necessary. Also, the candidate should be healthy and not have any of the following diseases:

- Identification of the affected areas: after performing anesthesia, the doctor determines the affected areas that will be injected carefully.
- Injection stage: in this stage, the pre-identified areas in the lips are injected using beautiful needles.

Potenial Benefits
The benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers include:

Some patients could take pain medicine if require . Ice packs could help prevent swelling as well as scarring during recovery.
