Lip augmentation and rejuvenation have become one of the more common procedures for people seeking to improve the appearance or balance of their lips.
There are surgical and nonsurgical options. The most common nonsurgical option is the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, done in the office with minimal downtime and swelling/bruising. Hyaluronic fillers have more benefits than other fillers. They give your doctor better control of lip volume, involve gradual injections, lumps and bumps dissolve easily, there is less bruising and reasonably long-lasting results. An allergic reaction from hyaluronic fillers is unlikely because these fillers are made from a substance that is found in the body.
For some patients, a lip lift procedure or surgery is needed to help balance the anatomy for a natural, enhanced look. This involves a procedure that reveals more of the red portion of the lip. Scars are hidden under the nostrils and heal very well. This procedure can be done in the office or under sedation based on the patient’s preference.
