If
you were born with thin lips, or if aging has caused your lips to flatten,
now you can do something about it.
There are several
lip augmentation procedures available today to enhance the
size and shape of your lips. Some involve inserting a synthetic,
biocompatible material or you can even use tissue from your own body.
Options vary for each patient. This will be discussed
with you during your
consultation.
Lip augmentation is performed under local anesthesia. Depending on the
technique, recovery ranges from a few hours to a few days.
TEMPORARY LIP AUGMENTATION
-
Collagen
Collagen, a common soft tissue filler used in wrinkle reduction, can also
help enhance your lips. Recovery time is short, you can easily sneak
in a treatment during your lunch hour.
-
Restylane®
Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores
volume and fullness to the lips. It is also used to correct
moderate to severe facial wrinkles. Because Restylane® is
non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required.
