Today, more plastic surgeons are utilizing dermal fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane for lip augmentation procedures. The smooth hyaluronic acid gel in these fillers can provide an excellent, although temporary, enhancement of the lips.
Rejuvenating the Lip and Mouth Area
Wrinkles around the lips can be determined using a variety of techniques including chemical peels, laser resurfacing and dermabrasion. Wrinkle ablation can be performed in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures. Recovery is usually quite rapid.*
Corrective Lip Enhancement Surgery
Corrective surgery for the lips is reserved for patients who have had unsatisfactory results with lip enhancement or for patients with congenital lip deformities such as redundant lips or “gummy smile.”
Who Can Benefit from Lip Augmentation?
Many people desire larger, more prominent lips, but most are not born with this trait. Others may see their lips flatten out or become thin over time. If your lips are small, thin, or wrinkled, lip augmentation may be a good solution. However, those who are prone to skin eruptions on or near the lips or dental abscesses may be advised to skip these procedures.
