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.
