Lip Augmentation Overview

Lip Implants

Lip implants provide a permanent solution for enhancing lip volume and shape. This surgical procedure involves the insertion of soft silicone implants into the lips, giving them a fuller and more defined appearance. Lip implants are ideal for individuals looking for long-lasting results without the need for ongoing treatments. The procedure typically takes about an hour and is performed under local anesthesia. Recovery time is relatively short, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a week.

Benefits:

  • Permanent enhancement
  • Natural-looking results
  • Customizable sizes to suit individual preferences

Fat Grafting to the Lips

Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is a versatile technique that uses your body's fat to augment the lips. This procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of the body, purifying it, and then injecting it into the lips. Fat grafting not only adds volume but also improves lip texture and hydration. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting, with the added benefit of body contouring from the fat-harvesting process. While some fat will be reabsorbed into the body, most will stay in the lips, providing a longer-lasting effect than lip filler.

Benefits:

  • Uses natural body fat
  • Long-lasting results
  • Minimal risk of allergic reactions

Lip Lift

One of our favorite procedures, a lip lift with or without lip augmentation, offers a way to enhance your lips' shape, size, and beauty.  A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, enhancing the lips' appearance by increasing the amount of pink lip visible and improving the overall shape. Your surgeon will customize where they lift to get the right shape everywhere, not just in the center of the mouth. This procedure particularly benefits individuals with a long upper lip or those seeking a more youthful lip appearance. 

Benefits:

  • Permanent enhancement
  • Improved lip shape and definition
  • Creates a more youthful appearance

Lip Fillers

Lip fillers are a popular non-surgical option for enhancing lip volume and shape. These injectable treatments use hyaluronic acid-based products to add fullness and definition to the lips. Lip fillers offer immediate results with minimal downtime, making them a convenient choice for those seeking temporary but effective lip augmentation. Lip fillers are a great solution for those troublesome lipstick lines in older individuals.

Benefits:

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • Immediate results
  • Adjustable and reversible
