Lip augmentation surgery | Cheiloplasty
English subtitled video
The lip augmentation that we perform at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona can be done in two ways:
- The best known, with hyaluronic acid injections. This solution is the simplest, quickest and cheapest, but it is not definitive, it lasts for a while.
- The less well known is technically called everting the lips. This is a small lip operation that allows the labial mucosa of one or both lips to be turned outwards in a definitive and even more natural and elegant way. It allows the recovery of the size of the lip lost over the years, the improvement of peribuccal wrinkles or the increase of the thickness or profile when someone wants it.
Clínica Sanza in Barcelona is a leading centre in the treatment of lip augmentation.

PATIENT’S PROFILE
Generally, women and men who want to improve the lip volume, profile , or asymmetry.
PROCEDURE
There are two procedures for this intervention that depending on whether the results are temporary or definitive.
Temporary results
Through the infiltration of substances, such as the known hyaluronic acid or others, we can disguise and correct the volume deficit or improve the lip projection achieved.
The materials that we use are temporary and biocompatible with the organism, with similar consistency to the tissue in which they are implanted, thus, they are almost imperceptible to the touch. They are chemically and physically stable over time.
You can work on the lip volume or simply outline the edge and the cupid bow with very natural results. The key for a good result is the combination of the infiltrated material, the experience in its application and to do it little by little, without big increases.
We advise not to use permanent products to avoid displacements and lumps over time; neither thread nor labial prosthesis, since in the long run they can be perceptible or move unless the patient does not smile or kiss or gesture a lot with the lips.
Definitive results
With a small operation performed under local anaesthesia (as when we go to the dentist). It consists of advancing the inner labial mucosa in order to evert it outwards, without the need to infiltrate any product.
This technique is increasingly requested by patients because it is definitive, and even more natural and elegant.
