Your lips and your expression
Hyaluronic acid lip fillers can refine definition, restore lost fullness or balance small differences. I consider the pink part of the lips, their border and their proportions in relation to your face together. At my consultations on Kurfürstendamm in Berlin, we discuss the change you would like and what makes your expression your own.
The examination findings and scope of treatment determine your individual treatment process.
Treatment at a glance
Key information about lip filler treatment. These details put duration, recovery and costs into context for your personal planning.
A more defined lip border does not automatically require significantly more volume.
The gel is selected according to your tissue, lip movement and desired effect.
Additional time is needed for the consultation and examination.
Numbing cream or suitable local anaesthesia can ease discomfort in the sensitive lip area.
Redness, swelling and bruising may remain visible for several days.
The fullness visible immediately after treatment includes swelling and is not yet the final result.
Often around six to twelve months; the product, tissue and previous fillers influence how the result develops.
Lip treatment · one session. The starting price applies to one lip treatment. It does not promise a fixed number of millilitres; the product, amount and agreed follow-up appointments are set out in your individual quote.
Times are a guide. A personal examination will clarify what applies to you.
Understanding what changes
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid binds water and adds volume in targeted areas. Small amounts tailored to your anatomy allow the lip border and the pink part of the lips to be treated differently. Planning takes the whole mouth area into account.
The cupid's bow, the transition to the skin and any existing differences determine the goal.
The gel is placed in selected areas rather than enlarging the entire lip evenly.
Only once swelling has subsided can we assess whether a further correction would be appropriate.
I distinguish between wanting more of the pink part of the lips to show, a clearer border and treatment for fine lines above the lip. These concerns call for different placement. The examination also considers natural asymmetry and the proportions of the upper and lower lip; a fixed size ratio is not an individual ideal.
If filler is already present, the product, amount, date and any previous reactions are important. More material can accentuate existing irregularities. If the findings are unclear, I first examine whether swelling, migrated material or an inflammatory reaction is present before considering another injection.
After treatment, the lips will initially look fuller than they will once the swelling has subsided. I therefore plan conservatively and reassess progress if necessary. Please do not press or massage new irregularities yourself; appropriate aftercare depends on the specific findings.
A natural look is individual. Good planning supports your lip shape. Complete symmetry, a particular shape or a fixed duration cannot be promised.
A Lip Flip changes the position of the upper lip by relaxing muscles and does not add any filler material. Fat transfer requires fat to be harvested and involves a different process of healing and integration. These procedures are not interchangeable versions of the same lip filler treatment.
Please tell me about previous fillers, corrections, episodes of cold sores and intolerances. Active inflammation or an acute cold sore outbreak must heal before a planned procedure. We will discuss in person whether any additional precautions are needed.
Is this right for me?
Your wishes are the starting point. I assess whether the examination findings, your health and the expected benefit align.
You would like a subtle change to the definition or volume of your lips.
A desired look cannot simply be recreated on your lips.
Different causes call for different solutions. Sometimes, choosing not to have a procedure is the right decision.
Compare alternativesIf existing hyaluronic acid filler is causing concern, an examination to assess correction options is the sensible first step.
Explore the optionsFacial movement, skin quality and volume loss call for different approaches.
Explore the optionsFor fine perioral lines around the lips, the focus is on skin quality, small volume deficits and mouth movement. Depending on the findings, conservatively placed hyaluronic acid or a suitable skin treatment may help. It is not possible to promise complete removal of all lines or an unchanged lip shape.
Understand the concern in more detailMouth wrinkles is a collective term. Vertical lip lines mainly affect the skin around the lips. Marionette lines run downwards from the corners of the mouth; nasolabial folds run from the nose to the mouth. The horizontal crease between the lower lip and chin is a different finding again.
Understand the concern in more detailYour treatment journey
We discuss definition, fullness and expression and document previous fillers. I then explain the material, risks and costs.
After cleansing and, if needed, anaesthesia, the selected gel is placed in the planned areas. You may feel pricking and pressure.
You will receive lip care advice and a way to contact me if you have any symptoms. We only decide on further steps once progress has been assessed.
We will agree on a direct contact method for aftercare before you leave. General enquiries: team@dottore.caletti.de.
Returning to everyday life
Swelling and tenderness are possible. Avoid unnecessary touching and follow the agreed care instructions.
Bruising and swelling can make this an unsuitable time for occasions where photographs are particularly important. Leave enough time in between.
Follow-up is guided by your progress. A top-up is based on need and the condition of the tissue, not automatically on a calendar schedule.
These timeframes are a guide, not a firm promise. Your individual recovery may differ.
Talking openly about risks
Even an outpatient treatment can have unwanted effects. Individual risks, a sound medical indication and an achievable goal are all part of the decision.
Severe and increasing pain, unusually pale or darkly discoloured skin and any visual disturbance after an injection require immediate medical attention. Do not wait for a follow-up appointment or an email reply; call 112 if you experience sudden loss of vision or difficulty breathing.
Understand the costs and take time to decide

A website can offer guidance. We will discuss your individual situation during a medical consultation.
Ask your questionNo. Enhancing definition and significantly increasing volume are different goals. We agree together on what should change. Immediately after the injection, however, swelling can give the impression of extra fullness.
Once swelling and bruising have sufficiently subsided. It is often sensible to allow around one to two weeks; the actual timing depends on your recovery.
A Lip Flip affects muscle tension in the upper lip. Hyaluronic acid adds volume or definition. A muscle treatment therefore does not replace lip fillers and may carry different risks to function.
Under certain conditions, hyaluronic acid can be broken down with hyaluronidase. First, it is necessary to establish which material is present and why a correction is wanted. Other fillers do not respond to this enzyme.
Please only do so if you have specific instructions from your doctor. New irregularities can have different causes. Especially if there is pain, redness or skin discolouration, an examination is more important than applying pressure to the area yourself.
Costs start from €400. Price basis: lip treatment · one session. The starting price applies to one lip treatment. It does not promise a fixed number of millilitres; the product, amount and agreed follow-up appointments are set out in your individual quote. You will receive your personal cost plan before you decide.
Russian Lips refers to a desired shape or a technique that places greater emphasis on lip height. The term is neither a separate class of material nor a promise of quality. We assess individually whether this shape suits your anatomy. Existing fillers, lip movement and the risks of overcorrection matter more than a trend name.
A fixed amount does not suit every lip. Your initial lip shape, any existing material and the change you would like determine whether less, more or a staged approach makes sense. The stated starting price is not a fixed offer for 1 ml or a guaranteed result; the material and scope of treatment are set out in your personal cost plan.
A photograph can help explain your wish for more definition, lip height or fullness. I assess your own lip shape, movement when speaking and proportions in relation to your face; someone else's shape cannot reliably be recreated. Lighting, angle and early swelling affect the impression given by before-and-after photographs. We assess your result once the swelling has subsided and only then discuss whether a further small correction would be appropriate.
