Lip augmentation and lip correction
Dr. Handl is the expert for lip treatment
Full, healthy lips are not only appealing but also a sign of youth and vitality, as Hollywood stars show us. But not every woman is naturally blessed with full lips. With the most modern methods of aesthetic surgery, lips can be given more volume, asymmetries can be corrected and the lip contour can be improved. The aim is an aesthetic, natural result – the horror of “duck lips” is a thing of the past.
In Vienna, Dr. Handl is one of the most experienced and renowned surgeons in the field of lip treatment. He places particular importance on professional and individual advice for his patients in order to achieve the best possible result. He responds to his patients' wishes and ideas and discusses their individual requirements.
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a small outpatient procedure that is usually hardly felt. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body's skin and connective tissue that keeps the skin plump and elastic. By injecting hyaluronic acid precisely into the lips, they can be enlarged and their contour improved. The area is first numbed with a local anaesthetic cream to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
The aim of lip augmentation is a lip shape that creates a harmonious overall look of the face. It is particularly important that the result looks natural and aesthetic. Dr. Handl therefore places great importance on individual advice and precise execution of the treatment. This allows him to ensure that the result meets his patients' wishes and ideas and creates a harmonious overall appearance.
All in all, lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is a safe and gentle procedure that, in the hands of an experienced surgeon such as Dr. Handl, leads to an aesthetically pleasing result. Fuller, plumper lips can give you a youthful, vital appearance and boost your self-confidence.

Lip augmentation costs
The cost of lip fillers with hyaluronic acid depends on several factors, which are assessed individually in a personal consultation. Depending on the desired volume, shape correction and any asymmetry, the amount of hyaluronic acid needed varies – and with it the price of the treatment. Whether it is a first treatment or a regular top-up can also affect the overall effort.
Dr. Handl places great importance on tailoring every treatment exactly to the anatomy and aesthetic wishes of his patients. In the personal consultation, your ideas, the technical possibilities and the medically sensible approach are discussed in detail. On this basis, Dr. Handl draws up a precise treatment and cost plan covering all services – from information and preparation through the treatment itself to a possible follow-up check.
As lip augmentation is usually an elective aesthetic treatment, the costs are not covered by health insurance. That makes complete transparency in advance all the more important. Investing in a natural, harmonious result is worthwhile – especially when it is carried out professionally, gently and with lasting beauty.

Dr. Handl – your specialist for lip augmentation in Vienna
Full, well-defined lips have always been considered a symbol of youth, attractiveness and sensuality. But not every woman is naturally endowed with even or voluminous lips – and with the natural ageing process, lip volume can decrease or the shape can change. In such cases, aesthetic medicine offers gentle, precise ways of correcting and accentuating the lip contour – without looking overdone or artificial.
Dr. Markus-Johannes Handl is one of the most experienced experts in lip aesthetics in Vienna. His aim is to use minimally invasive methods to achieve a result that underlines your natural beauty and fits harmoniously into your facial proportions. His focus is not on volume alone but on the overall appearance – matched to your facial expressions, skin texture and face shape.
The treatment takes place in a calm atmosphere and according to the highest medical standards. Before the injection, the area is prepared with a local anaesthetic cream, so that the procedure is almost painless. Dr. Handl then places the hyaluronic acid precisely in the desired areas – individually dosed and modelled. The result is visible immediately and looks subtle, fresh and natural.
Alongside his professional expertise, many patients particularly value Dr. Handl's empathetic and honest advice. He takes his time, explains everything comprehensively and works only with carefully selected, high-quality products to guarantee a safe, long-lasting result.
If you are looking for an experienced and trustworthy place to go for professional lip augmentation in Vienna, Dr. Handl is the right choice for an aesthetically convincing result with the highest medical standards.
Preparation, risks and aftercare
Preparation
In the consultation, you and Dr. Handl discuss the shape and volume that suit your face. After consulting us, avoid blood-thinning medication and alcohol for a few days beforehand. If you are prone to cold sores, please tell us in advance so that preventive treatment can be given. You receive a local anaesthetic for the treatment.
Risks
Swelling, a feeling of tightness and small bruises are common in the first days. Small palpable nodules, slight asymmetries and the triggering of cold sores are also possible. Very rarely, the filler blocks a blood vessel, which must be treated immediately. If necessary, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme.
In the informed-consent consultation, Dr. Handl discusses all risks in detail and in relation to your personal situation.
Aftercare
The swelling usually subsides after a few hours to days. Avoid make-up for a few hours and sport, saunas and strong heat on the first day, and do not massage or press your lips. Cooling relieves the swelling. You will see the final result after about two weeks.
