lip-augmentation

Lip Augmentation subtly plumps and defines thin lips for fuller, more youthful appearance and helps to correct asymmetrical lips for an even, beautiful smile!*

Lip augmentation can improve:

  •    Deflated Upper Lip

  •    Thin or Aging Lips

  •    Uneven Lips

  •    Lip Lines

Treatment Information

Lip augmentation is most often performed with dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid.  These dermal fillers are injected at varying depths to eliminate lip lines, define the upper lip and add volume or fullness to both the upper and lower lip -- transforming thin, wrinkle-prone lips to a beautiful, sexy pout.

Results from lip augmentation with dermal fillers may last from 4 to 6 months or longer, depending on the type of dermal filler used.  

*Results may vary per individual.

Lip Enhancement Options at Ideal Skin MedSpa

At Ideal Skin MedSpa, we offer a variety of lip enhancement treatments to suit different preferences and aesthetic goals. Our options include:

  • Lip Implants: A permanent solution for those desiring a significant increase in lip volume. We use top-quality materials such as PermaLip for a softer feel and Advanta Lip for a fuller, firmer result.

  • AlloDerm: A surgical option involving natural tissue integration that offers a smooth and natural augmentation. This method uses a durable dermis layer harvested from cadavers, expertly placed within the lips.

  • Fat Filler: A non-surgical alternative using the patient's fat, harvested and processed to enhance lip volume naturally.

  • Injectable Fillers: Our range of temporary fillers, including collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxyapatite, provides flexibility in achieving the desired fullness with minimal downtime.

Surgical Technique

For those opting for surgical lip enhancement at Ideal Skin MedSpa, the procedure involves precise and careful techniques tailored to each patient's specific needs. For lip implants and AlloDerm, we begin with small incisions strategically placed at the corners of the mouth. This approach allows for the creation of a tunnel within the lip tissue, where the selected implant or AlloDerm material is meticulously inserted. The placement is carefully adjusted to ensure symmetry and natural contour before closing the incisions with dissolvable sutures, which promote healing without leaving noticeable scars.

In the case of non-surgical injectable fillers, our expert practitioners use a topical anesthetic to numb the area thoroughly before the injection process. This ensures a comfortable experience as the fillers are carefully administered to achieve the desired volume and contour. The fillers are often pre-mixed with Lidocaine, which helps further minimize discomfort during and immediately following the procedure.

During/After Surgery

Post-procedure care at Ideal Skin MedSpa is designed to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery, regardless of whether you undergo a surgical or non-surgical lip enhancement. For surgical enhancements, patients may experience some initial swelling and discomfort, which are normal and generally resolved without intervention. We recommend patients follow a simple care routine that includes ice packs to reduce swelling and over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.

Patients receiving injectable fillers might notice immediate results with minimal recovery time. Swelling and tenderness at the injection sites are common but typically mild and short-lived. We advise patients to avoid strenuous activities and extensive sun exposure immediately following the procedure to maximize healing and the effectiveness of the treatment.

In both cases, our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions and is available to address any concerns or questions that may arise during the recovery phase. This ensures that each patient not only achieves the aesthetic results they desire but does so with the utmost comfort and safety.
