Overview
Fillers, implants, and the lips you want
The lips you were born with don’t have to be the lips you live with. If you have always wished for fuller, plumper and more attractive lips, we offer many options for fuller, natural-looking lips. We provide lip enhancement using fillers, or surgically using implants. Injectable fillers are ideal for individuals who desire temporary results, while implants are for those looking for lasting, permanent lip enhancement. If you prefer injections, we use hyaluronic acid fillers. Additionally, lip reductions are also available to customize the shape and size of lips to the patient’s preference. We help patients toward natural, fuller lips through a range of procedures.
Lip injections
Hyaluronic acid fillers
A lip injection is a non-surgical procedure which cosmetically enhances the lips. After an injection, lips will look fuller, having more volume, and may appear to have a restored, natural “pucker”. Results are temporary, and your doctor reviews the possible risks with you before treatment. The practice uses hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane®.
Hyaluronic acid fillers contain a biodegradable gel based on hyaluronic acid, a substance the skin makes naturally. The injection adds volume and plumpness while the lips stay soft. Results can be seen right away and typically last several months; how long varies by patient.
Implants
The permanent route
A lip implant is the surgical alternative for lip enhancement whereby a synthetic material is inserted into the lips. Anesthesia is typically provided and incisions are usually made at the corners or other places near the lips. These incisions allow for a needle to penetrate and inject lips with the implant. The procedure is only mildly uncomfortable, with recovery time covering a few days, and with results lasting permanently.
