Lips are one of the most important features of beauty and aesthetics, especially for women. Throughout the history of civilization, they have been appreciated in all areas of life, including art. Full and well-shaped lips are believed to make women look more youthful and attractive.
Today, with the advancement of technology and the increasing comfort and safety of aesthetic procedures, many women are turning to lip fillers and other lip enhancement treatments. Among these, lip filler is the most commonly preferred method. Lip fillers are applied not only to women who find their lips too thin but also to those who want to define their lip contours or correct asymmetry.
Congenital or acquired shape irregularities, asymmetries, and volume deficiencies can be effectively corrected with the lip filler technique in a very short time.
In Ankara lip aesthetics, various substances are used to achieve fuller and more defined lips. These materials are typically applied through injection techniques, without the need for any surgical incisions. The most commonly used substances in lip aesthetics are hyaluronic acid and fat tissue.
Hyaluronic acid is the most frequently preferred material in lip enhancement procedures, primarily used to define the lip borders and to give the lips a fuller and plumper appearance. When performing hyaluronic acid lip fillers, the substance is injected along the lip contours, especially at the edges of the philtrum grooves located between the upper lip and the base of the nose.
Additionally, hyaluronic acid can be used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the lips. Since it is a naturally occurring component of the skin’s structure, it provides visible and positive results for an average of six months when injected under the skin and wrinkle lines.
Lip fillers performed in a sterile environment and using natural filler materials do not cause any side effects. However, to maintain the desired effect, the procedure should be repeated at regular intervals.
Fat tissue is another type of filler material used in lip augmentation, derived from the patient’s own body fat. The desired fullness in the lips is achieved by injecting fat tissue, fascia tissue, or a tissue cocktail obtained from the patient through lipoinjection. Among these, autologous fat tissue (taken directly from the patient) is the most preferred method. The fat is usually harvested from the inner thigh or abdominal area.
Lip augmentation performed with fat injection does not trigger any foreign body reaction since the material comes from the patient’s own body, and it also leaves no visible scars. During the procedure, a small amount of fat is injected between the muscle tissues to achieve the desired volume, while fine lines around the lips are also smoothed out.
Since part of the injected fat tissue can be naturally absorbed by the body over time, this procedure is typically performed in 2 to 3 sessions to achieve a more permanent and stable result.
Thin lips can be effectively enhanced and volumized using hyaluronic acid fillers. The procedure is quick, painless, and typically completed within five minutes. The results last for 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual’s metabolism and filler type. During the session, the doctor and the patient can work collaboratively to achieve the desired lip shape and fullness in real time.
In addition, fat tissue injection, dermal grafts, or silicone-like synthetic materials can be used for long-lasting or permanent results. These methods involve minor surgical procedures and are usually completed in about 30 minutes.
We can also perform this procedure permanently using fat tissue injections, dermal grafts, or synthetic silicone-like materials. These methods are carried out through minor surgical techniques and are typically completed within 30 minutes.
For individuals with overly thick lips, lip reduction can be performed surgically using tissue-thinning techniques applied from inside the mouth. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and usually takes about 30 minutes to complete.
For sagging or elongated lips, lip lift (lifting) and tissue repositioning techniques are applied. These methods raise the lips and shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. The entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30 minutes.
The lips are one of the most important components of holistic facial aesthetics, complementing the harmony and balance of the face.
With lip aesthetic procedures, it is possible to create lips that are harmonious with the facial structure and to correct signs of aging around the mouth area.
As mentioned earlier, hyaluronic acid and fat injection techniques are used to achieve the desired lip volume. These substances are applied through injection without any incisions, directly into the lip tissue, allowing the lip augmentation process to be performed easily and effectively. The goal is to create lips that are full, natural, and aesthetically pleasing.
The lip lift procedure aims to raise the lip line and increase the visible red portion of the lips. It is particularly applied to the upper lip and can be performed using several different techniques. In one technique, a bird-wing–shaped section of skin is removed just above the upper lip. In another, suitable for individuals with a wide upper lip, a bull-horn–shaped piece of skin is removed from just below the nose. Additionally, an intraoral V-to-Y technique can be performed, where a V-shaped incision is made inside the lip and then sutured in a Y shape to expand the red lip area.
Another method, known as the lip suspension technique, involves making a small incision inside the nostril, where sutures are anchored backward from the lip corners to provide the necessary lift and fullness. Following lip lift surgery, the incision scars are usually minimal and barely noticeable, ensuring a natural aesthetic outcome.
As a natural consequence of aging, sagging and fine lines around the corners of the lips are among the most prominent signs of lip aging, which plays an essential role in the overall appearance of the face.
When the corners of the lips droop downward and folds extend outward and downward from the corners, a person’s facial expression may appear sad or tired. In such cases, minor surgical interventions can be performed to lift and correct the corners of the lips, while temporary fillers can also provide highly successful results.
During smiling, if the angle between the upper lip and the nose narrows excessively, the upper lip becomes too short, curls outward, or the gums become overly visible, different surgical techniques can be applied to correct these issues.
Smile deformities can be treated either with standalone procedures or in combination with aesthetic rhinoplasty (nose surgery), resulting in a more harmonious and natural-looking smile.

Lip aesthetics can be performed as either temporary or permanent. Temporary lip fillers are done using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, while permanent lip enhancement is achieved through fat tissue injection.
Before the lip filler procedure, an anesthetic cream is applied to the lips. Although the needle pricks can be felt during the process, it is not a particularly painful procedure.
The entire lip filler process — including the application of the anesthetic cream, waiting for its effect, and performing the injection — takes about 15–20 minutes.
Lip sagging can be corrected using lip lifting methods and tissue repositioning techniques. These procedures shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip.
Yes, lips can be enlarged without fillers. Through a lip lift procedure, the corners of the upper lip are lifted upward, expanding the visible lip area.
Yes, fat injection can be performed on the lips. Fat tissue injection into the lips provides a permanent enhancement.
