Lip Augmentation Surgery in Hyderabad
Beautiful lips are full, shapely and in balance with nose, chin and rest of the face. They have well-defined outlines and a central arch shape (cupid’s bow) in the upper lips. We all have varying perceptions of perfect lips. For some, luscious lips are more attractive whereas others may find petite thin lips more appealing. No matter your choice, reach out to Ambrosia Clinic, one of the lip augmentation surgery clinics in Hyderabad to your dream lips. Be it augmentation or lip reduction, we have it all; with both surgical and non-surgical procedures to choose from.
If your woes are thin lips, we offer Lip Augmentation via both surgical and non-surgical options. The objective is to create fuller and youthful looking lips. We help you have those full lips using fillers or fat to enlarge and enhance their shape.
Lips can be too large sometimes, and out of balance with the nose, chin and rest of the face. Lip Reduction surgery (also known as cheiloplasty) can be performed for getting the lips to the right size and shape. This is a surgical procedure to reduce the appearance of protruding or abnormally large lips. Often a big lower lip is associated with small chin and dental problems. They can also be addressed at Ambrosia clinic in Hyderabad.
Lip Reshaping is sometimes required as a procedure to get symmetrical lips. Ideally, the ratio of upper lip to lower lip ought to be 40:60 and give you the best results. We also ensure that the lip share is more attractive by giving sharper outlines and curves.
At times, the smile is ‘gummy’ which means there is excessive exposure of the teeth and gums when you smile. This can be cured temporarily with botulinum toxin injection into the muscles of upper lips. The result appears in 1 to 2 weeks and lasts for 3 to 5 months.
You are an ideal candidate for lip augmentation if you:
- Are above 18 yrs of age
- If younger, then there must be medically diagnosed reasons for the surgery sought
- Good health

About the Lip Surgery Procedures at Ambrosia
- Hyaluronic Acid – HA is the most commonly used filler for lip augmentation procedures. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occuring substance in the human body. It aids in adding volume and helps shape your lips.
- Fat injections are another option for lip augmentation
HA filler procedures can be performed quickly with little to no time out for recovery. But if you choose to have fat injections, this will require liposuction to a small area of your body to remove fat before injecting into your lips.
Before administering the injections, local anaesthetic may be applied to the area to ease any discomfort; at times nerve block injections may also be given to numb the lips. After carefully marking the areas to be injected, very fine needles are used to inject the filler substance into your lips.
Lip Reduction surgery is a surgical procedure where excess fat and skin tissues have to be removed from the lower or upper lips or may be both to reshape the entire lip area. The surgeon will make a horizontal incision in the inner lip (the pink inner portion of your lip); this is done to minimise scarring. Excess fat and tissues from the lip is then removed to reduce its overall volume. Once done, the surgeon uses stitches that will fall off on their own in a few days, to close the incisions.

FAQ
Hyaluronic acid fillers are said to be the most commonly used injectable procedure for Lip Augmentation. What are the benefits of this filler?
Once injected into the lip, the gel in the filler supports and helps shape the lips.
- Lip volume control: since the amount of the filler to be injected can be controlled, it allows your surgeon better control over the lip volume to be created.
- Easy pace of treatment: These injections are given over a period of time during different appointments to achieve the desired results.
- No lumps or bumps: These are dissolved easily and naturally leaving no bumps on the lip surface.
Minimal bruising: There is far less bruising or swelling in comparison to other dermal fillers. - Relatively lasting results: Although not permanent, the results from the use of these fillers are fairly long-lasting.
- Non-allergenic: Since these fillers are made from substances close to those found in the human body, they are unlikely to cause any allergic reactions.
What risks or side effects can be expected from a Lip Augmentation procedure using hyaluronic fillers?
Most common side effects may be as follows:
- Swelling and bruising
- Redness and tenderness at the site of the injection
- Reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters (herpes simplex) of the lips or area surrounding the lips
- Lumps and irregularities in the lips
- Infection
- Injection into a blood vessel, causing tissue loss
- Ulceration, scarring, or stiffening of the lip
- Allergic reaction causing redness, swelling, or itching around the lips
What after care do I need to know of after injectable lip procedures?
You may gently ice your lips after injections.

Client Testimonials
I had lovely laugh lines that made me look attractive when I smiled, or so my friends said. But it worried me that my skin was getting less supple as I grew older. Having read and heard so much about skin tightening treatments, I decided to give it a shot. My first consultation at Ambrosia helped me understand what to expect and how to care for my skin post procedure. Dr. Priti’s thoroughness during the examination was very reassuring too. I thoroughly recommend everyone who is concerned about their skin looking uncared for as they age. Ambrosia totally helped me remind myself that age is only a number. Thank you Dr. Priti for your magic.

My teenage acne had left a lot of scars on my face. That was all I saw when I looked in the mirror. While searching for treatment, I came across Ambrosia and decided to check out what could be done about it. My first impression when I walked in was one of complete ease with the warmth of the staff and the calm atmosphere. The initial consultation helped me understand what can be done to gradually remove the scars on my face as well as what I needed to do post-procedure. I am so happy with the results and go out of my way to mention Ambrosia whenever someone points out how smooth and beautiful my skin looks now. Thank you Ambrosia!

I had broken my nose as a child after a fall. It was misshapen because of that. The twisted nose also led to breathing problems. Searching for solutions, I came across Ambrosia Clinic and the procedures they offer to correct that. I was suggested surgery. I am thankful to the team of plastic surgeons who helped correct my nose as well as the breathing problems. My recovery time was minimal and I am able to lead a normal life since then. A big thank you to the great team at Ambrosia.

I had skin pigmentation on my face. It always made me conscious and I would hide it with layers of makeup. My friend suggested I meet Dr. Priti and do something about it instead of hiding behind makeup. I did not know what to expect, but was totally blown away by her warmth and the modern set up at Ambrosia. She not only explained the procedures I could get done but also what to expect at each stage during recovery. I thoroughly recommend Ambrosia and especially Dr. Priti to everyone.
