Lip Augmentation

Lip enhancement or Lip filler is a non-surgical procedure that improves lip shape, definition, symmetry, and hydration using advanced dermal fillers developed specifically for the delicate lip area. At City Clinic Marbella, we tailor treatments to achieve natural volume, a smoother contour, and a beautifully balanced smile.

Over time, lips may lose volume, appear asymmetrical, or develop fine lines around the mouth. Using hyaluronic acid–based fillers, we gently enhance lip structure and hydration, maintaining softness and natural movement.

Our approach prioritizes subtlety and elegance

no overfilled appearance, only refreshed, healthy-looking lips that suit your face proportions.
