Permanent Plumping With Lip Augmentation
Want a fuller, more youthful lip contour? The cosmetic procedure called lip augmentation can help you plump your lips permanently with advanced injectable fillers, fat transfer, or lip implants. Adding volume to the lips can have a positive effect on the appearance of the entire face, creating a soft, attractive look.
Lip augmentation is a great option for patients who have naturally thin lips or who have lost fullness as a result of aging. As an added benefit, lip augmentation patients may also experience reduced wrinkles and lines around the mouth. This minimally-invasive cosmetic option is gaining popularity as new fillers and techniques improve the type of results that are possible.
Injectable fillers – Safe, FDA-approved injectable fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane can be used to achieve the desired fullness. The results are temporary as most fillers absorb into the body; however full lips can be maintained long term with repeat treatments.
Fat transfer – In this procedure, fat cells from another part of your body are transferred to the lips. Many patients will enjoy permanent results with fat transfer.
Lip Implants – Implants made from biocompatible materials are surgically implanted into the lips for a permanent plumping solution. SoftForm, GoreTex or Alloderm are a few of the choices available today.
If you are interested in beautifying your lips with augmentation, schedule a confidential consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon. Your doctor can go over the details of this simple cosmetic procedure, discuss your financing options, and show you before and after photos.
