This guide covers what you need to know about the procedure, recovery, and what to expect from a premier aesthetic clinic in Dubai.
This illustration is for educational purposes only, intended to explain the surgical technique. Individual results and anatomical requirements vary per patient.
What is
Natural lip filler aims for proportionate volume, defined borders, and harmony with the rest of the face — not an overfilled appearance. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti uses conservative, anatomy-led injection: assessing upper-to-lower lip ratio, philtrum length, and vermillion border before deciding volume. CE-marked hyaluronic acid attracts water within the lip tissue for a soft, natural feel. Results are adjustable and fully reversible with hyaluronidase.
Russian lips (or Russian lip technique) refers to vertical micro-deposition of hyaluronic acid from the lip border inward — emphasising height and Cupid's bow definition rather than forward projection alone. It suits patients seeking a defined, lifted upper lip contour. Technique selection depends on lip anatomy and goals; not every patient requires a Russian-style approach. A standard body-filling technique may be more appropriate when volume in the lip red is the primary need.
Lip augmentation at Seline Clinic, Jumeirah, Dubai uses CE-marked hyaluronic acid fillers selected for lip tissue — including formulations from established ranges such as Juvéderm when clinically appropriate. Product choice depends on required softness, projection, and longevity. Permanent fillers, silicone, and non-CE-approved products are not used. The specific formulation is confirmed during consultation after examining lip anatomy and treatment zones.
Yes. 0.5 ml (or less) is a common starting volume for subtle augmentation, border definition, or asymmetry correction — especially for first-time patients. Larger volumes may be appropriate when multiple zones are treated or greater projection is clinically suitable. Volume is staged conservatively to avoid overfilling; additional product can be added at a follow-up session if needed.
The cost depends on the number of treatment zones, the volume of product required, the specific hyaluronic acid formulation, facility standards, and whether combination treatments (e.g. perioral toxin) are included. An accurate assessment requires an individual clinical evaluation.
Dr. Bouraoui Kotti practises at Seline Clinic, Jumeirah, Dubai — patients attend from across Dubai, Sharjah, and the wider UAE for private lip augmentation consultation. DHA-licensed, EBOPRAS-certified specialist assessment ensures product selection and technique are individualised. Virtual or in-person consultation is available before treatment.
Lip filler outcomes are documented on Instagram with patient consent where shared. Individual results vary by anatomy, product, and volume used.

Yes. Half a millilitre (0.5 ml) or less is frequently used for subtle first-time augmentation, vermillion border definition, or minor asymmetry correction. Conservative volumes reduce the risk of overfilling. Additional product can be reviewed at follow-up if further refinement is desired. The appropriate volume is confirmed during consultation based on lip anatomy and goals.
Russian lip filler refers to a vertical injection technique that builds height and Cupid's bow definition from the lip border inward — rather than projecting the lip forward alone. It creates a defined, structured upper lip popular among patients seeking a particular aesthetic. Not all lip shapes suit this technique; Dr. Bouraoui Kotti selects Russian, body, or combined approaches based on individual anatomy during assessment at Seline Clinic, Jumeirah, Dubai.
Natural lip filler means conservative hyaluronic acid augmentation that respects facial proportion — enhancing volume and definition without an exaggerated or overfilled look. Technique emphasises border refinement, balanced upper-to-lower ratio, and soft tissue integration. CE-marked hyaluronic acid is fully reversible, allowing adjustment over time.
Juvéderm is among the CE-marked hyaluronic acid filler ranges suitable for lip tissue when clinically indicated. Product selection depends on required softness, longevity, and treatment zone — not brand alone. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti chooses formulation based on lip anatomy and goals during consultation. Permanent fillers and non-CE-approved products are not used.
Scholarly opinions on cosmetic injectables vary. Many patients distinguish between restorative correction of proportion or age-related volume loss and purely vanity-driven alteration. Hyaluronic acid lip filler is temporary and reversible — not permanent body modification. Patients are encouraged to consult their own religious authority for personal guidance. Dr. Bouraoui Kotti's practice in Dubai serves patients of diverse backgrounds with confidential clinical assessment.
Yes. Patients from Sharjah and across the UAE attend Seline Clinic in Jumeirah, Dubai for lip augmentation. The clinic is accessible from Sharjah via Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail corridors. Consultation can be arranged in person or virtually before treatment.
Duration of effect depends on the hyaluronic acid product used, injection technique, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Most patients see results lasting between 6 and 12 months, though this varies per individual. Outcomes are discussed during the clinical consultation.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be fully dissolved using hyaluronidase enzyme at any stage. This reversibility is one of the principal safety advantages of hyaluronic acid over permanent filler materials or surgical implants. Dissolving is straightforward and can be performed if the result does not meet expectations or if any complication arises.
Lip filler can address the lip body (upper and lower), the vermillion border (the defined edge of the lip), Cupid's bow, the philtrum columns (the vertical ridges above the upper lip), and the oral commissures (the corners of the mouth). It can also smooth vertical perioral lines — fine lines that develop in the skin surrounding the mouth. Zones are selected individually based on anatomy and goals.
Good candidates are adults with thin lips, lip asymmetry, age-related volume loss, a poorly defined vermillion border, or an imbalanced upper-to-lower lip ratio. Candidates should be in good general health, free of active lip infection, and have realistic expectations about the outcome. Individual suitability is assessed during the clinical consultation.
Only CE-marked, clinically validated hyaluronic acid fillers are used. Hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, naturally occurring in the body, and fully reversible with hyaluronidase. Permanent fillers, silicone, and non-CE-approved products are not used. The specific product is selected based on the treatment zone, volume required, and individual lip anatomy.
Downtime is minimal. Mild swelling and bruising are normal for 24–72 hours following treatment and resolve naturally. Social activities are typically resumed within 24–48 hours. Strenuous exercise and excessive heat exposure (saunas, steam rooms) are generally avoided for 24 hours post-treatment.
Yes. Zone-specific injection allows independent adjustment of different lip areas, making it possible to address proportional asymmetry between the left and right sides, or between the upper and lower lip. A full assessment of facial symmetry and lip anatomy is performed before treatment to identify and plan any correction.
Yes. Small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler can be injected into the fine vertical lines that develop around the mouth to smooth and reduce their depth. This is often combined with botulinum toxin (Botox) for the perioral area when muscular activity is a contributing factor. The appropriate treatment approach is assessed individually during consultation.
Lip filler adds volume and refines contours using injectable hyaluronic acid — no incisions, no downtime, fully reversible. A surgical lip lift (subnasal bullhorn) permanently elevates the upper lip position by excising a strip of skin beneath the nose, shortening the philtrum and increasing tooth show. Lip filler addresses volume and definition; a lip lift addresses position and proportion. The appropriate approach depends on individual anatomy and goals.
Lip filler uses injectable hyaluronic acid — non-surgical, no incisions, fully reversible, adjustable over time. Lip implants are a surgical procedure involving incisions at the corners of the mouth and placement of a solid or soft implant for permanent augmentation. The two approaches differ fundamentally in reversibility, permanence, recovery, and clinical indication. Suitability for each is assessed during consultation.
Yes. Lip filler is frequently combined with botulinum toxin (for perioral lines or a lip flip effect), cheek or chin filler (for overall facial proportion), or as part of a non-surgical profiloplasty. Combination planning depends on individual facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, and is discussed in full during the clinical consultation.
