Enhance and Beautify

Lip Augmentation for Fuller, Youthful Lips

Lip augmentation is a procedure to enhance the fullness of lips and make them more attractive. Just like the rest of our skin, our lips loose collagen and fat during the aging process. There are other factors which accelerate the signs of aging around the lips include smoking and sun exposure. Lip augmentation is the perfect procedure for those patients who have always had naturally thin lips that they are self-conscious about it as well as those who want to return their lips to the shape and fullness they had when they were younger. Lip augmentation is accomplished by implanting synthetic or biological materials into the lips to make them plumper and more appealing.

Augment Your Face

How is the Lip Augmentation procedure performed?

There are several different substances commonly used in lip augmentation procedures, each with their own particular features and techniques:

AlloDerm


This is the most popular material used for lip augmentation. The patient is given a local anesthetic; the material is inserted through tiny incisions made in the inside corners of the mouth, then stitches are used to close the incisions. AlloDerm works with the natural tissues of the body. The material can be absorbed, so the results are only temporary, lasting from 6 months to a year.

Synthetic Implants

Gore-Tex, SoftForm and soft ePTFE are synthetic options with permanent results. They do not shrink, cannot be absorbed into the body, and remain in place because scar tissue forms on either end. The implants are inserted by making a small incision in the inside of the lip. The material is then made into the shape of a small tube and it is inserted with a small needle.

Fat Grafting

Many people choose fat grafting because they are comfortable with the idea of using fat from their own body. The fat is harvested from another area of the body, often the abdomen or thighs. It is then prepared and inserted with a needle into the lip from more than one point. This procedure has permanent results in approximately half of the people who try it, because the body can reabsorb the fat.
