Get a natural and proportional appearance while improving your lip functions with safe techniques applied by specialised physicians.

Lip Fillers have emerged as a revolutionary solution in the realm of non-surgical cosmetic enhancements, offering individuals the opportunity to achieve fuller, more defined lips without the need for invasive procedures. This popular aesthetic treatment has gained widespread acclaim for its ability to subtly augment lip volume, enhance lip shape, and address signs of aging around the mouth area. As a cornerstone of modern facial rejuvenation techniques, lip fillers provide a versatile and customizable approach to lip enhancement, allowing patients to achieve their desired look with minimal downtime and natural-looking results.
Lip Fillers utilize specially formulated injectable substances, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body known for its hydrating and volumizing properties. These carefully designed fillers not only add volume to the lips but also have the potential to improve lip texture, define the lip border, and soften fine lines around the mouth. Dr. Erhan Güneri, a highly skilled practitioner in the field of aesthetic medicine, employs his extensive expertise to tailor lip filler treatments to each patient’s unique facial features and aesthetic goals, ensuring harmonious and balanced results that complement the individual’s overall appearance.
What Is Lip Filler?
Lip filler is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the lips by adding volume, improving shape, and addressing signs of aging around the mouth area. This popular aesthetic procedure utilizes injectable dermal fillers to create fuller, more defined lips while maintaining a natural look.
The primary purposes of lip fillers include:
- Increasing lip volume and plumpness
- Enhancing lip shape and symmetry
- Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
- Improving lip definition, including the vermilion border (lip outline)
- Correcting asymmetries or imbalances in lip proportions
- Restoring volume loss in aging lips
Lip fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and add volume to tissues.
Some popular brands of HA lip fillers include: Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Volbella, Restylane and Restylane Silk, Belotero Balance
The lip filler procedure is minimally invasive and can usually be completed in a single office visit.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip fillers work through a precise and minimally invasive process. Dr. Erhan Güneri employs the following approach:
- Consultation: Assessing the patient’s lip structure and desired outcome.
- Preparation: Cleansing the area and applying numbing cream if needed.
- Injection: Using fine needles to introduce hyaluronic acid-based filler into specific lip areas.
- Volumizing: The filler attracts water, creating a plumping effect.
- Contouring: Strategically placing filler to enhance lip shape and symmetry.
- Immediate Results: Volume increase is visible right after the procedure.
- Settling Period: Final results develop over a few days as swelling subsides.
The filler provides both immediate volume and long-term benefits by stimulating collagen production. Dr. Güneri’s expertise ensures natural-looking results that complement the patient’s facial features. The effects typically last 6-12 months, gradually diminishing as the body metabolizes the filler. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the desired lip appearance.
