Lip fillers in Düsseldorf

Lip correction treatment is primarily suitable for patients seeing to add volume to their lips. It allows us to accentuate the contours of the lips and delicately fill in any small lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Lip modelling also enables us to correct the shape of the lips.

In most cases, minimally invasive lip filler treatments use hyaluronic acid fillers. These compounds are usually very well tolerated and are fully broken down by the body over time, leaving no residues behind.

Alternatively, you might also consider lip augmentation using autologous fat transfer. In this method, we collect fat from another part of your body and prepare it for transfer. The physician injects the prepared fat tissue into the lips in controlled doses.

If you are looking to achieve permanent lip correction, surgical lip augmentation can also be considered. Unlike lip filler treatments, the results will not require regular refresher treatments.

The implants inserted during surgical lip augmentation can be made from synthetic materials or the patient’s own tissue. Surgical methods also allow us to raise lips that droop due to ageing. Using special incision techniques, we can raise and firm up a drooping upper lip. This means the lips’ natural red hue can shine through again.

Lip fillers and lip modelling treatments require no special preparation on your part. If you take blood-thinning or anticoagulant medication, you should stop taking them at least 14 days before the treatment. The physician treating you will be happy to help you find suitable alternatives for the duration of the treatment.

After the lip injection, you should not touch or massage your mouth to begin with. Doing so could alter the results, as the filler materials will remain malleable for the first few days.

You will be able to exercise again the following day. You should avoid visiting the sauna or solarium and exposing your lips to direct sunlight for at least 1 to 2 weeks.

Lip augmentation treatments with fillers are brief, uncomplicated procedures that last about 15 minutes. Before the treatment, one of our specialists will advise you on your individual case. The physician treating you will discuss the best methods open to you to achieve your desired outcome. They will then work together with you to plan the rest of the treatment.

The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis. At the KOEBE KLINIK, we use a modern and particularly effective numbing salve. The filler compounds themselves also contain a local numbing agent. This ensures that the entire treatment will be almost entirely painless for you.

We inject the fillers into the lips at several points. We use different techniques depending on the individual patient’s desired results. The art of administering lip fillers draws on various techniques that, when carefully combined, can achieve your individual desired outcome. Dr Hermann Koebe and Dr Dr Norman Koebe know exactly how to combine different approaches precisely for volumising, contouring and beautifying treatments – using isolated, focused, blunt, retrograde or diversified injections. An individual concept is created for each treatment depending on the patient’s wishes and the starting position. Each technique also differs for use on the upper and lower lips. This allows practitioners to shape the lips individually and achieve very natural results.

Once lip fillers have been administered, we gently cool the lips to counter any initial swelling. You will be able to leave the clinic straight away and go about your daily routine as usual.

Your lips may remain slightly swollen for the first few days after lip correction treatment. We would therefore advise you to keep your schedule clear immediately after undergoing lip filler treatment. The swelling should subside after 2 to 3 days at most. Any redness or slight bruising can usually be concealed effectively with make-up.

Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid fillers is a low risk procedure as patients usually tolerate the filler compounds very well. At the KOEBE KLINIK, we use only recognised preparations from leading manufacturers to guarantee the highest level of safety. Another aspect that boosts the level of safety is the fact that an injection of hyalase can break down hyaluronic acid without any residues, returning your lips to their original state before the lip treatment.

Fillers usually last for one to two years, but in some cases can also last much longer.

On the other hand, as with all surgical procedures, surgical lip correction does involve general surgical risk. In very isolated cases, patients can develop wound healing disorders, infections or visible scarring.

In very rare cases, lip augmentation treatments using implants can result in allergic reactions. In such instances, the implants must then be removed. An alternative to this would be to augment the lips using the patient’s own tissue.
