    • Non-invasive
    • Non-surgical

    Goals of Non-Surgical Lip Enhancement

    Patients visiting a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon don’t always have the same goals in mind. Their goals can vary by gender, age, and ethnicity. For instance, younger patients usually want to add more volume to their lips or improve the overall asymmetry while older patients want to correct perioral lines or thinning lips.

    Your surgeon will take pre-treatment photographs during the initial consultation. They will then discuss your goals in detail and evaluate whether you make a good candidate for the procedure or not. These are a few goals that can be achieved with lip filler treatments:

    • Reduction of lip lines
    • Increase in lip definition
    • Increase in lip volume
    • Correction of lip asymmetry

    Dermal Filler Options for Lip Augmentation

    There are several dermal filler options when you want to enhance the shape and size of your lips in a non-surgical, non-invasive, and safe way. Your treatment provider will discuss your goals in detail before recommending the best treatment plan. They will offer several treatment options depending on your personal goals and appearance.

    Generally, the following dermal filler solutions are used in a lip augmentation procedure:

    • Restylane Refyne
    • Restylane
    • Restylane Kysse
    • Restylane Silk
    • Juvederm Volbella
    • Juvederm Ultra

    It is important that you let the treatment provider know about your aesthetic goals and expectations. Each of these dermal fillers offers unique and different advantages or results. For instance, Restylane is a salient substance if you want to enhance your lip volume significantly, while Restylane Silk provides for more subtle and natural looking enhancements.

    Restylane Refyne is a more popular lip filler treatment among young patients looking for shapelier lips. It is followed by Restylane Silk. Restylane is usually preferred by older patients seeking help with loss of lip definition and perioral lines.

    Restylane Kysse is the more recent addition to the treatment options after being awarded FDA approval. Many plastic surgeons have started offering this dermal filler because it creates more natural-looking results without hampering normal expression.

    While Juvederm offers the same results, Restylane Kysse gets the job done with significantly less product. Additionally, the results of lip enhancement can last for up to a year.

    Lip Implants Plastic Surgery

    You should consider lip augmentation using implants if you are looking for long-term results. There are several types of high quality synthetic lip implants available. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend implants best suited for your purpose, whether it is to make your lips shapelier or fuller. It takes about an hour for this cosmetic surgery to be completed.

    Your facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon will make small incisions at the mouth corners in discreet positions. They will carve a tunnel-like pocket through the incisions to place the implant. The surgeon will thread the implant through your entire lip and trim it precisely to the desired length before closing the incisions.

    Enhancing Lips with Fat Transfer

    Lip augmentation through fat transfer plastic surgery is another option for fuller lips. This procedure involves inserting your own body tissue from surplus areas for increasing volume in your lips. The result is more natural looking and is achieved in a far less invasive way.

    There are several benefits of using fat tissue from the body. Risk of allergic reaction and rejection is significantly reduced. The cosmetic surgery procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia.

    Dermal Filler Lip Enhancement

    Restylane, Juvederm or other hyaluronic acid based dermal filler injectables are used to give lips a fuller and shapelier appearance. These are recommended for people wanting fuller lips without undergoing facial surgery. These dermal fillers are FDA approved and can help you achieve a more balanced and even lip symmetry.

    Dermal filler injections can help those looking to add more definition to their lips or restore their youthful lip appearance. The injections contain consistent and smooth gels, especially Juvederm and Restylane. The provider will use tiny needles to inject these compounds for natural looking results.

    Lip Enhancement Using Laser Technique

    Laser lip enhancement involves delivering precise laser energy pulses. A series of these pulses are delivered into the lip mucosa. New collagen formation is triggered as heat makes its way to the underlying tissues. This creates fuller lips.

    The shape of your natural lips remains intact with this treatment while providing plumper and fuller looking lips. You may need to undergo multiple laser therapies to achieve the desired augmentation. You may also require routine maintenance procedures once the treatment is complete to retain the shape and fullness of your new lips. Maintenance treatment is recommended every six months.
