FAQ
Lips are a sensitive area, so GENEVITY always uses anaesthesia: a topical anaesthetic and, when indicated, a nerve block. Most fillers contain lidocaine, which further reduces discomfort. Patients describe the sensation as quite tolerable.
The main swelling lasts the first 24–48 hours and noticeably subsides by days 3–5. The final lip shape is assessed on days 10–14, once the gel has fully settled and the swelling is gone. That is why any top-up is planned no earlier than two weeks.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are fully reversible. If you are unhappy with the result or the shape needs adjusting, the doctor injects hyaluronidase, which dissolves the filler within a day. This is the key advantage of hyaluronic products over permanent implants.

Lip Augmentation — Volume and Shape with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Lip augmentation is the injection of a hyaluronic acid-based filler to add volume, refine shape, and hydrate. Hyaluronic acid is a natural skin component, so the product integrates well into the tissue and looks and feels natural. The procedure addresses different goals: adding moderate volume, defining the contour, making the lips symmetrical, correcting the fine 'barcode' lines above the upper lip, or simply restoring moisture to dry lips. The filler density and technique are selected to match the anatomy and the patient's wishes. GENEVITY works on the principle of a natural result: the goal is harmonious lips that suit the face, not maximum volume. The doctor sculpts the shape gradually and confirms the intermediate result with the patient during the procedure. The effect is visible immediately; the final shape is assessed after the swelling subsides, on days 10–14. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible: if needed they can be dissolved with a hyaluronidase injection. The result lasts 6–12 months.
Volume is visible immediately; the final shape after swelling subsides on days 10–14. The filler is reversible and the result lasts 6–12 months.

How the Lip Augmentation Procedure Works
Consultation and shape planning
The doctor assesses lip anatomy, discusses the desired result, selects the product and volume, and explains the possible swelling.
Anaesthesia
A topical anaesthetic is applied; a nerve block is used if needed. Most products already contain lidocaine.
Filler injection and sculpting
The doctor injects the filler with a needle or cannula, gradually sculpting the shape and confirming the result. Duration: 30–45 minutes.
Post-procedure care
Swelling and tenderness are possible for 1–2 days. Avoid sauna, exercise, hot drinks, and active facial movement for 24–48 hours. If prone to herpes, take antiviral prophylaxis.
Benefits and Key Considerations
Visible volume immediately after the procedure
Natural result — focused on harmony, not maximum volume
Fully reversible — the filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase
Also hydrates the lips and softens fine perioral lines
Swelling in the first 1–2 days is normal; the final shape is assessed later
Lips are a highly mobile zone, so top-ups are needed more often than elsewhere
