• Individuals that have developed fine lines or wrinkles in their lips
• Individuals with asymmetrical lips
• Individuals who desire fuller, more shapely lips
• Individuals with good health
• Individuals with realistic expectations

Lip Augmentation Procedure Options

Injectable Fillers (Juvederm)

Injectable lip augmentation uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. The gel is injected into the lips with or without a topical anesthetic. Patients may experience temporary swelling and bruising. Results can last between three months to one year, making Juvederm an excellent option for those wanting to explore lip enhancement without a permanent commitment.

Free Fat Transfer

This long-term option involves removing fat from one body area, processing it, and reinjecting it into the lips. Typically, 50-70% of transferred fat remains, potentially requiring multiple treatments to achieve the desired enhancement. Results can last 3-5 years.

Lip Implants

Lip implants can be tissue-based or synthetic, including options like autologous grafts or synthetic materials such as Gortex and silicone tubing. While providing a long-lasting solution, implants require surgical insertion and potential removal, which can be more complex than temporary augmentation methods.

Procedure Details

Procedure Length

• Injectable Fillers: 30 minutes
• Free Fat Transfer: 1-3 hours
• Lip Implants: 1-3 hours

Recovery and Potential Risks

Recovery varies by procedure type. Patients should avoid exercise until cleared by their physician. Downtime ranges from 1-2 days for fat transfer to up to one week for surgical options. Initial results are immediate, with final appearance developing after 2-3 weeks once swelling subsides.

Potential Risks

• Injectable Fillers: Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness
• Free Fat Transfer: Potential lumps or uneven absorption
• Lip Implants: Risk of infection or implant extrusion
