Lip Augmentation
Enhancing Size & Shape in Bellaire & River Oaks, TX
Achieve Your Perfect Pout
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that, either surgically or with injections, increases lip size. Either the upper or lower lip, or both, can be augmented to improve symmetry and restore youthful volume.
Whether the results are temporary or permanent depends on the type of augmentation performed. There are several different techniques for augmenting lips, ranging from non-surgical dermal fillers to permanent implants or natural fat grafting.
The Choice: Which type of augmentation is used depends upon the individual patient, surgeon preference, and the specific cosmetic results desired.
Techniques for Lip Augmentation
We offer a range of specialized treatments to help you achieve the volume and definition you desire.
The Surgical Process
Dermal filler treatments are the most efficient, often performed in under 30 minutes with minimal downtime. Fat transfers and implants are more involved surgical options.
For fat transfers, fat is obtained via liposuction, filtered, and then precisely injected. For implants, incisions are made at the corners of the lips, and the elastomer is placed under the skin before closing with stitches.
