Lip Augmentation

Whether you have noticed the fullness in your lips beginning to fade over time, or you were never blessed with full, plump lips, a lip augmentation procedure can help you achieve full and pouty lips!

Augmenting lips also has a positive effect on surrounding facial tissue. Fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth are often minimized and the overall facial appearance is enhanced. Even a small volume enhancement can boost your self-confidence.

Dr. Manuel Peña believes men and women deserve the opportunity to keep the features they love most about their faces and to cosmetically improve the features that they would like to enhance. If you would like to enhance the fullness and shape of your lips and decrease wrinkles around your mouth, ask Dr. Peña which lip augmentation procedure he recommends to achieve your goals.

How is Lip Augmentation Achieved with an Implant

For some patients who desire a long-term option and are seeking a lip augmentation that lasts many years then a solid soft silicone implant can be used to achieve this goal. Risks of silicone implants include capsular contractures, malposition, infection and even loss of implants. This procedure is performed in select individuals who understand the risks and benefits.

How is Lip Augmentation Achieved with Fat Transfer?

Dr. Peña also performs fat transfer lip augmentation, a treatment that uses a patient’s own fat cells to enhance and augment the top and bottom lips. Using the fat transfer procedure alone to the lips results in subtle shape changes in the lips. Dr. Peña’s skill, expertise, and artistic vision helps achieve a natural shape and proportion of the upper and lower lips. Also, fat transfer can be used to improve a patient’s marionette folds, creases. The vertical wrinkles known as “smoker’s lines however, usually requires an HA filler or a laser resurfacing. Ask Dr. Peña if facial fat grafting is right for you.

How is Lip Augmentation Achieved with Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm® Ultra XC and Juvéderm® Volbella™ XC, or Restylane®, Restylane® Silk, and Restylane® Kysse are effective in augmenting and enhancing the look and feel of your lips. With dermal filler augmentation, the results are temporary and re-treatment will be needed to maintain results in 6 -18 months.* This option is perfect for patients who want to “try out” fuller lips but are not ready to commit to a surgical cosmetic change.

What Are Lip Flips?

“Lip Flips” are techniques in which tiny amounts of Botulinum toxin (such as BOTOX® Cosmetic) is used just above the pink/white border of the upper lip. This “flips” or rolls the lip upward to give the impression of the lips being fuller. Because such small amounts of BOTOX® are used this often lasts 6 weeks or less.* The small amounts are required so the function of your lips are not affected.

What is a Lip Flips?

Occasionally the upper lips are elongated with the aging process. Just filling the lips alone will not “rejuvenate the lip”. A lip lift uses a hidden incision at the base of the nose to shorten the upper lip by removing the extra skin. This is often combined with fat grafts or a filler for overall effect.
