Enhancing the appearance of your lips can dramatically improve your overall facial aesthetics. The Spiegel Center in Boston, Massachusetts, offers various lip augmentation options, from permanent surgical solutions to temporary non-surgical treatments. We offer lip implants, fat grafting to the lips, surgical lip lift, and lip filler injections. Explore these options below to find the best approach to achieving your desired lips.
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
Choosing the Right Option
Choosing the right lip augmentation option depends on your goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Dr. Spiegel is widely credited with repopularizing lip lifts in the United States due to his experience and techniques; Dr. Onir pioneered a popular non-surgical way to achieve similar results called the ‘lip flip.’ Dr. Tower has been performing lip lifts as part of facial rejuvenation and with facelifts for years for ideal facial balance.
Between these three providers, our practice is one of the top options for lip augmentation in Boston, Massachusetts. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our comprehensive lip augmentation services. Our experienced team at The Spiegel Center is here to guide you through the decision-making process, ensuring you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking lips you desire.

After searching for a Plastic Surgeon to do a lip lift, I chose Dr Jeffrey Spiegel at The Spiegel Center. From the virtual consultation to then speaking to Carole, the patient Coordinator I was completely committed to the surgery. I am thrilled with my results and highly recommend the Spiegel Center.
