Facial harmonization is a highly sought-after aesthetic procedure in the medical and dental fields, aiming for an integrated functional and aesthetic balance, seeking to improve the face, given the complaints regarding the lips due to deficiencies in contour, volume, and lip projection. Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid is used for this aesthetic lip improvement. It is effective in adding volume to the tissues when injected, restoring the three-dimensional relationship with the rest of the face, and is advantageous because it is a safe procedure due to its reversibility and few side effects. This study aims to conduct a literature review on the challenges of lip sculpting and augmentation, focusing on the main techniques for hyaluronic acid fillers. The results of this study concluded that the use of hyaluronic acid for lip augmentation is a proven and safe technique to improve the appearance and self-esteem of patients. With the continuous evolution of techniques and products, along with research, it is expected that lip augmentation procedures will become increasingly personalized, safe, and effective.
