Do you want fuller lips?  Are you tired of having thin or a long upper lip?

Lip augmentation creates plumper lips and reduces fine wrinkles around the mouth. Many options are available to help you achieve more youthful lips. Lips may be injected with collagen, hyaluronic acid (Restylane or Juvederm) or with fat transferred from another site in your.

Further options include Upper Lip Lift - as the face ages, the upper lip can lengthen.  And along with loss of fat in the lip, the red part of the lip appears thinner. An incision at the base of the nose can help shorten the upper lip skin and evert the red part of the lip. Combined with fillers or fat, the lip can be rejuvenated.

Benefits:

Immediate return to normal activities may be possible depending on the procedure and materials used.

Temporary procedures like collagen or HA can be appealing to patients who want to experiment with a fuller-lipped look, but not necessarily commit to it.

Collagen injections have a short-lived effect where as fat injections provide longer-lasting results, but are sometimes unpredictable as to the degree of improvement.

Dr. Bidros will discuss the different available options depending on your needs.
