What Is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is performed to combat age-related volume loss, smooth away pesky lip lines, increase lip border definition, enhance symmetry, and sharpen the Cupid’s bow. Your treatment can be highly customized to your unique concerns and wishes, with outcomes ranging from subtle changes to a more bold and dramatic transformation. The goal is always to leave you with a naturally beautiful and engaging smile you will love.

Lip Augmentation Options

Our team at Bay Hills Plastic Surgery performs an array of treatments to enhance volume, symmetry, and balance in the lips and reestablish a youthful, inviting smile. Treatment options include the following:

Lip fillers

Lip fillers are a common non-invasive solution for thinning, depleted lips. Filler results typically last 6 to 12 months. The treatment is ideal for busy, active individuals, as it comes with no downtime or discomfort.

Fat grafting

With this method, Dr. Tripathi can extract fat cells from an area of excess, such as the belly, thighs, or hips, purify them, and then inject them into the lips for ultra-natural volume enhancement.

Lip lift

A lip lift is a minor surgical procedure to enhance the prominence of the upper lip, allowing it to gently curl outward and expose more of its feminine pinkness and tooth show.

What Can I Expect From the Treatment Process?

Lip augmentation is performed in a series of steps, with each phase tailored to your unique concerns and aesthetic sensibilities.

Step 1 – Consultation – Our team at Bay Hills Plastic Surgery provides an in-depth consultation process to discuss your goals for improvement and curate the ideal treatment plan for achieving a more radiant, attractive smile.

Step 2 – Preparation – You may be asked to follow certain guidelines prior to your session to help maximize your results and reduce the likelihood of complications. This may include discontinuing certain medications and making minor adjustments to your skincare routine.

Step 3 – Treatment – Treatment details will vary according to the lip augmentation method that you choose:

  • Lip fillers – Your lips will be carefully cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort during your session. Lip filler is then strategically injected to create nuanced, elegant improvements in definition, symmetry, volume, and shape.
  • Fat grafting – Fat cells are extracted via liposuction from a donor region, such as the hips, flanks, thighs, or stomach. Once they have been purified and sterilized, they are then injected into the lips to create lasting and natural-looking enhancement. 
  • Lip lift – With a lip lift, a tiny incision is created at the base of the nose, and a small piece of skin is removed to shorten the length of the philtrum. This enhances fullness in the upper lip without fillers or implants. Scarring is inconspicuous and fades quickly.

Recovery After Lip Augmentation

Most lip augmentation treatments come with minimal downtime, allowing active, busy patients to quickly resume their normal schedules. The recovery process will vary according to treatment type:

Lip fillers

Minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the lips can last up to 5 days. Full results typically emerge within 1-2 weeks. You can come into the office for a touch-up session every 6-12 months.

Fat grafting

After fat transfer lip augmentation, patients may experience mild swelling that lasts several weeks. Results can typically be seen within a few months as the injected fat settles into place. Changes will usually last several years.

Lip lift

After a lip lift, you may notice swelling, redness, and tightness for several weeks. Your small incision will heal over the course of 4-6 weeks. Changes with a lip lift are sustainable and long-lasting, creating a permanently more youthful-looking upper lip appearance.

With all of these treatments, it is essential that you properly protect your lips from the sun’s harmful UV rays and make sure your skin is well-hydrated. We will provide more customized aftercare instructions for you once your procedure is complete.
