Lip augmentation uses dermal filler injections to enhance the volume and shape of the lips. This quick, minimally invasive procedure provides fuller, more youthful-looking lips with immediate results and minimal downtime. This can require local anesthetic, or it may not require any.

Lip augmentation can help you with:

  • Enhancing the volume and fullness of thin lips.
  • Improving the shape and symmetry of the lips.
  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines around the mouth.
  • Creating a more youthful and attractive lip contour.
  • Boosting self-confidence by enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

You may be a suitable candidate for lip augmentation if:

  • You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
  • You have thin lips or have lost lip volume due to aging.
  • You desire a fuller, more defined lip appearance.
  • You do not have active oral infections or cold sores at the time of treatment.
  • You are not allergic to the dermal filler material used in the procedure.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Your lip enhancement is a quick process that takes just 15-30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:

  • We’ll apply a numbing cream to keep you comfortable
  • Your provider carefully marks the areas for enhancement
  • The filler is injected using very fine needles
  • We’ll check the shape and symmetry as we go
  • You can see your results right away in the mirror

  • A numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

During Treatment:

  • The medical professional will inject the dermal filler into specific areas of your lips to enhance volume and shape.
  • The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes.
  • You may feel slight pressure or pinching during the injections, but discomfort is usually minimal.

After Treatment:

  • You may experience mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness, which should subside within a few days.
  • Apply ice packs to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort.
  • Avoid strenuous activities and excessive sun or heat exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
  • Follow your medical professional’s instructions on how to care for your lips post-procedure.
  • Results are immediate, but the final appearance will be more evident once swelling has subsided.

Recovery After Your Treatment

Let’s walk through the next few days:

First Day

You’ll head home right after your procedure. Your lips will feel a bit puffy and may look fuller than your end goal – that’s totally normal! Ice packs are your friend today, and we recommend sleeping with your head elevated. Most people are surprised by how quick and simple the whole process is, though you might want to skip any big social events for the next 24 hours.

Days 2-3

Any swelling starts calming down now, and you’re seeing your true results emerge. You might have some tiny bruise spots, but these are easy to cover with lip balm or lipstick. Most people are back to their normal routine, though your lips might feel a bit tender when you press them. Drinking through straws and eating very hot foods should wait another day or two.

Week 1

Now you’re seeing your final results! The swelling is gone, and your lips look naturally fuller. You can wear any lip products you like, and nobody can tell you’ve had anything done – they just notice you looking fresh and enhanced. Most people tell us they love how subtle yet noticeable the improvement is.

Long-term Results

Your results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used. Many people schedule touch-ups every 6-9 months to maintain their look. The best part? If you decide to have another treatment, we can adjust the amount of filler to make subtle tweaks to your look, ensuring you always get exactly the results you want.

Find out more about how we make your medical journey smooth and stress-free.

The duration of lip augmentation results depends on the method used. Dermal fillers typically last 6-12 months, while more permanent options like implants can last for several years.

Lip augmentation can enhance your facial aesthetics by providing fuller, more defined lips. This can boost self-confidence and improve your overall appearance.

Lip augmentation is usually an outpatient procedure, so you can go home the same day. The entire process generally takes less than an hour.

Initial recovery typically takes a few days to a week. Swelling and bruising may occur but should subside within this period.

Most people can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 days after the procedure, depending on their comfort level and the extent of the augmentation.

The procedure involves minimal discomfort. Local anesthesia or numbing cream is usually applied to reduce any pain during the injection process.

Lip augmentation is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, which should be discussed with your provider.

Many patients find lip augmentation worth it due to the significant improvement in lip volume and contour. The decision should be based on personal aesthetic goals and a thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner.

Lip augmentation with fillers does not typically leave scars. If surgical implants are used, any incisions made are usually small and well-hidden, with minimal scarring.
