Prices in the “Ukraine” column come from MediUkraine’s partner clinics. The Czech Republic and Turkey columns show the lower bounds of prices published by clinics there (for Turkey, also the Turkish Dental Association’s recommended 2026 tariff), collected in August 2026 and converted to US dollars at the rate on the day of collection. A dash means we could not find a comparable published price. In any country, the final cost is set by the clinic after an examination.
Lip correction in Ukraine is performed by certified plastic surgeons and aesthetic medicine doctors. The options include dermal fillers, botulinum toxin and surgical techniques; the choice depends on whether volume needs to be added, the contour defined or the position of the tissues changed.
To add volume and define the contour, hyaluronic acid fillers are usually used: they give a natural look and have a predictable resorption period. The surgical route is lipofilling (transfer of your own fat) and implantation of materials, when a long-lasting result is needed. The method is chosen individually, to suit your anatomy and what you want to achieve.
The procedures are minimally invasive and take 15–60 minutes depending on the technique chosen. After fillers there is practically no rehabilitation, whereas after surgery the doctor's recommendations should be followed for 1–2 weeks.
The MediUkraine platform helps you choose a specialist for the specific method and shows how much the service costs in advance.
Travel. Ukrainian airspace is closed, so there are no commercial flights. Uzhhorod lies right on the border with Slovakia and close to Hungary, so patients usually arrive overland from one of these two countries, by car, bus or train.
Visas. Citizens of the EU, the United Kingdom and the United States do not need a visa for short stays in Ukraine. Rules depend on your citizenship, so check your own before booking.
Safety, plainly. Ukraine is at war. Air raid alerts occur across the country, including in Uzhhorod, and an appointment can be interrupted by one. Several governments advise against travel to Ukraine, and while that advice stands, ordinary travel and medical insurance is often void — confirm your cover with your insurer before you commit to anything.
Language. MediUkraine handles correspondence, scheduling, the written treatment plan and the quote in English. The clinic's team communicates with international patients in English.
Payment. You pay the clinic directly. Our coordination service is free of charge for you.

Lip contouring with dermal fillers is the main correction method at Ukrainian clinics. Hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials are injected under the skin to add volume, define the contour and correct asymmetry. The result is visible immediately, no anaesthesia is needed and rehabilitation is limited to 1–2 days. The effect lasts 6–12 months depending on the type of product.
Surgical lip reshaping is needed for a radical change in shape or size or to correct anatomical defects. The operation is performed under local or general anaesthesia; it involves reduction, implantation or repositioning of the soft tissues. The result is permanent, but it requires 5–7 days of rehabilitation and serious surgical experience on the doctor's part.
A lip lift with threads or mesothreads supports the natural shape and prevents sagging. It is less invasive than surgery, gives a subtle result and shortens healing to 2–3 days. Which technique suits your goal and anatomy is decided at the consultation, which MediUkraine arranges at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod.
Returning to your usual activities after the procedure usually takes 7–14 days. Within the first 24 hours swelling and bruising appear, peaking on day 2–3: this is the tissues' normal reaction to surgical trauma. After that the inflammation gradually subsides, a process that stretches over the first week or two.
The main recommendations for this period: cold compresses for the first 48 hours, no hot drinks or spicy food, and no intense physical exertion for at least 7 days. It is important to avoid active facial expressions and unnecessary lip movement. Saunas, the gym and hot baths are off limits for the first week. The lips remain sensitive to touch for a few more days after the procedure.
The final result can be seen after 3–4 weeks, once the residual swelling has gone and the tissues have fully healed. At the partner clinic, the surgeon draws up an individual recovery plan and stays in touch with you throughout this period.
Surgical correction changes the shape, volume and proportions of the lips. It is performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, depending on the extent of the work. The surgeon makes incisions mainly along the contour of the lips or inside the mouth so that the scars remain inconspicuous. The procedure takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the complexity and the number of corrections.
Volume is added by implanting materials (silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene) or by transferring the patient's own tissue. Asymmetry, the shape of the vermilion border and size are corrected with specialised incisions followed by repositioning of the tissues. Another option is lipofilling, a transfer of your own fat tissue, which gives a more natural texture.
The MediUkraine portal shows you the doctors' qualifications and the conditions for the procedure even before you book a consultation.
Why is lip surgery cheaper in Ukraine than abroad? The price is made up of the costs of running the clinic, staff salaries and premises rent, and in Ukraine these items are much lower than in Western Europe or the USA.
Abroad, the procedure costs from USD 3,000 to USD 8,000, while at specialised Ukrainian clinics it costs USD 1,500–3,500. This amount does not include travel, accommodation or interpreting costs. The complexity and duration of rehabilitation do not depend on the country, so the saving does not affect the level of safety.
MediUkraine agrees the consultation schedule and puts you in direct contact with the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, so organising treatment takes less time. The clinic holds a valid licence.
Patient safety is a priority for facilities that perform lip correction. Ukrainian clinics follow international sanitation and disinfection protocols and use certified materials and products approved by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Before treatment, you are asked about contraindications and allergic reactions, and the expected result is discussed. All procedures are performed under medical aseptic conditions, following the rules for the safe injection of dermal fillers and other materials.
The clinic holds a Ministry of Health licence. Doctors confirm special training in aesthetic medicine and follow ethical standards of practice. Treatment rooms are equipped with emergency care supplies in case of complications.
MediUkraine checks the clinic's licence documents and its specialists' qualifications. You see the cost of the procedure even before you book a consultation.
📍 Uzhhorod, Ukraine
A multidisciplinary hospital in Uzhhorod, part of a network of medical facilities in western Ukraine: an outpatient clinic, a surgical centre covering 15 specialties and a 30-bed inpatient unit. Its 52 doctors include professors and PhDs; many operations are done as day surgery, with discharge after 1–2 days.
Lip augmentation and reshaping is surgical or minimally invasive correction of the shape, volume and symmetry of the lips. It is done to balance the proportions of the face, emphasise natural features or restore appearance after age-related changes or injuries. The technique is chosen so that the lips remain soft and mobile and do not look artificial.
Prices start from USD 240 and depend on the method, the type of anaesthesia, the surgeon's experience and the extent of correction. The average cost includes the consultation, pre-operative tests, the procedure itself and post-operative support. The clinic gives the exact amount after an examination and the choice of technique.
It is worth seeing a plastic surgeon if you want to balance the proportions of your face, change the shape of your lips, correct asymmetry or age-related changes, or correct the effects of injuries and unsuccessful injections. At the consultation the doctor selects a method and predicts the result.
First comes an examination and consultation with the surgeon, blood tests and ruling out contraindications. 5–7 days before the procedure, give up smoking, alcohol and salty food. The plan for stopping anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs is decided by the doctor who prescribed them together with the anaesthetist. The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain.
No. The procedure is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with acute inflammation or with chronic conditions in a flare-up. The doctor always assesses your general health before recommending the procedure: this reduces the risk of complications.
The recovery period depends on the extent of treatment and your individual characteristics. Swelling and bruising peak in the first 3–5 days after the procedure. During this time, cold compresses and limiting physical exertion are recommended. Most patients return to their usual activities after 7–10 days, and the result fully stabilises over 2–4 weeks.
During recovery it is important to avoid hot drinks, spicy food and direct sunlight. Residual swelling sometimes lasts up to a month, especially in people prone to swelling. The final result is assessed after 4–6 weeks, once the swelling has fully gone. The MediUkraine team will arrange a consultation with a specialist who will explain the specifics of your case and realistic recovery times.
Lip surgery is not treatment in the medical sense but an aesthetic choice. The procedure changes the shape, volume or contours of the lips according to your wishes, so the idea of being ‘cured’ does not apply to it. Functional problems are another matter: asymmetry that prevents the lips from closing, or congenital defects; here plastic surgery improves both appearance and function.
The result depends on the surgeon's qualifications, the choice of technique and your individual characteristics. The materials used (silicone, your own fat tissue, hyaluronic acid) last for different lengths of time. Through MediUkraine you can get a consultation at the partner clinic in Uzhhorod, where specialists will explain the prognosis, the healing period and the possibility of adjusting the result in the future. The decision to have this procedure should be made carefully and with realistic expectations.
