Overview

This is one of the most misunderstood treatments in aesthetics. At CARA Medical, lip augmentation is not about bigger lips — it is about restoring what has been lost, respecting your natural features, and creating a result that looks like you, just fresher. Peri-oral rejuvenation addresses the area around the mouth, which is often where real change is needed but most frequently overlooked.

How It Works

Following a full consultation and facial assessment, your practitioner uses Teoxane® premium hyaluronic acid fillers — chosen for their softness, flexibility and natural integration within the skin. Treatment is precise and conservative, and we assess the whole peri-oral area rather than the lips in isolation. This is what delivers a natural, balanced result.

Benefits

  • Restores lost lip volume and definition
  • Softens fine lip lines (often called 'smoker's lines')
  • Improves downturned mouth corners
  • Supports the lower face as a whole
  • Uses premium Teoxane® hyaluronic acid fillers
  • Designed to look natural, not 'done'

Is This Treatment Right for You?

Lip augmentation and peri-oral rejuvenation are suitable for adults who want to restore what has been lost in the lip and lower face area — not for patients seeking dramatic change. Whether you are new to this treatment or have had previous work elsewhere, we will listen, assess properly, and only proceed if we believe we can deliver a result you will be happy with. You will never be pressured into treatment.

Individual results may vary. Images do not guarantee outcomes. Every patient's skin, anatomy, and treatment goals are different.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our approach is about restoration and balance, not volume for the sake of volume. Most of our patients come to us specifically because they do not want obvious work. We would rather undertreat than overtreat.

Lip augmentation focuses on the lips themselves — shape, definition, subtle enhancement. Peri-oral rejuvenation addresses the area around the mouth: fine lines, lip lines, downturned corners and loss of support. Often the best result comes from treating both.

Typically 9-12 months, though this varies between patients. Results can be maintained with repeat treatment.
