When it comes to achieving plump, voluminous lips, the lip augmentation process emerges as a prominent aesthetic application contributing to facial beauty. Throughout history, full lips have been highly favored for their allure.
The face’s four crucial regions—hair, eyes, skin, and lips—need to be attractive and harmonized to enhance an individual’s charm. Recognizing this, individuals strive to attain their desired lip shape by using both cosmetic materials and aesthetic procedures.
At TurkCure we help you achieve your desired lip shape and volume in Istanbul Quasar beauty center associated with our esteemed partner Estetik International.
Before delving into the world of lip fillers, it’s essential to grasp the basics of lip anatomy. Recognizing the natural asymmetries and structures of your lips is crucial for making informed decisions when seeking cosmetic enhancements.
To embark on this journey of lip augmentation process, it’s crucial to delve into lip anatomy. Familiarize yourself with terms like the vermilion border, the cupid’s bow, and the philtrum.
The vermilion, often associated with the red part of the lips, is where it meets the skin – particularly noteworthy is the upper border of the vermilion.
The cupid’s bow, situated in the center of the vermilion border, adds a distinct feature, as does the philtrum, the region between the nose and the cupid’s bow.
During lip augmentation process, we may focus on injecting fillers into specific areas. For instance, accentuating the vermilion border and the margins of the philtrum can create a more pronounced and shadowed effect, enhancing the natural features of the lips.
Carefully injecting filler into the tubercles – the fuller sides of the lower lip and the less noticeable tubercles on the upper lip – allows for precise shaping and volumizing.
It’s essential to maintain a balanced approach when volumizing the lips. The central part of the lips should have slightly more volume, creating a subtle roll inward toward the sides. This natural shaping contributes to a more appealing aesthetic.
While some may desire fuller corners or lifted areas, it’s crucial not to over-treat these regions, as it could result in an unnatural appearance.
Finally, understanding lip projection is key. Following Steiner’s line, which runs from the midpoint of the columella to a point on the chin, helps guide the appropriate projection of the upper lip. Achieving a balanced look involves injecting a proportional amount into the upper lip to maintain harmony with the lower lip.

One of the first things that are done before your lips are injected is an anesthetic numbing cream applied to your lips so that when you do get your lips injected, you should have minimal pain.
Some surgeons during lip Augmentation process use something called a cannula in their practice. The cannula has a blunt tip, and doctors like that versus using a needle because it makes fewer injections into the lips.
Your surgeon then is also able to get to certain areas of the lips more easily. By the way, needles are used very commonly in many practices to inject the lips, but with a cannula, it feels that the bruising and swelling are much less, and the recovery time happens to be faster than if you inject with a needle.
It should be emphasized that you should expect swelling and bruising for at least two days and up to two weeks after you get your lips injected. So just be aware of that when you do go for these procedures.
When you do get your lips injected, doctors focus the filler on the middle parts of the lips. If your doctor puts them out here too heavily, your lip will drop. So that’s something that you should be aware of when your cosmetic injector injects your lips.
Now typically, the fillers come in one-milliliter syringes, which is a lot of filler for your lips. And remember, the goal is not to make your lips bigger; it’s to create balance and proportion in your lips.
And so, in many cases of lip augmentation process, doctors want to try to use the minimal amount of filler in those lips to create that balance. They will use the remaining part of that syringe to fill in other areas of your face where you might have volume loss.
Something else to consider is when you do go for these lip fillers or lip injections, you don’t have to feel that the entire syringe has to be used on your lips because you might achieve a goal that you don’t want. You don’t want monkey lips; you don’t want big lips. You want balanced, beautiful lips that fit symmetrically with the rest of your face.
Whether you are naturally born with thin lips or experiencing asymmetry, age-related collapse, slimness, or wrinkles around the lips, lip enlargement procedures can help you achieve the desired lip shape.
At Estetik International Clinic, our partner doctors employ the Cihantimur Fat Transfer technique for lip enlargement, ensuring a natural and safe approach.
Unlike traditional fat injections, this technique involves transferring fat tissue from the patient’s own body to the lip area, resulting in vibrant, natural-looking lips. The closed lipocyte system ensures the survival of fat cells, preventing complications or allergies. The live fat tissue integrates seamlessly with the body, delivering lively, vibrant, and natural lips while minimizing existing lines.
Combining lip augmentation process with other non-surgical facial beautification techniques is also possible. Stem cells collected through the Cihantimur Fat Transfer technique can be utilized to rejuvenate various facial areas, providing a comprehensive facial enhancement tailored to the patient’s preferences.

Temporary lip fillers are injectable materials used to add volume and smoothness to the lips. They offer a natural appearance and last for about six to nine months, effectively addressing lines and wrinkles.
Fat transfer involves collecting fat from areas like the abdomen and placing it into the lips. This option provides increased volume and a smoother lip contour, potentially offering longer-lasting results. Multiple injections may be required to achieve the desired enlargement level.
No, we do not use implants for lip enlargement.
The anesthesia type depends on the technique. Dermal filling is done with topical anesthesia, while fat transfer can be performed under general anesthesia for a comfortable experience.
