Lip Augmentation Rockville, MD | Dr. Adam Tattelbaum MD

What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is an in-office cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the lips. Dr. Adam Tattelbaum offers multiple options to suit individual needs and goals, including fillers, fat injections, lip implants, and lip lifts.

Lip Augmentation Options

Dermal Fillers and Fat Injections

Fillers represent the most popular lip enhancement method. Dr. Tattelbaum primarily uses Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus, which include a local anesthetic for patient comfort. Patients can expect initial swelling that gradually subsides, revealing natural-looking results.

Lip Implants

Soft silicone lip implants provide a permanent enhancement option. While offering long-lasting results, they may present potential risks such as asymmetries and occasional infections.

• Are in good overall health

• Do not have active oral infections

• Lip Implants: Permanent

Benefits of Lip Augmentation

Patients can achieve enhanced lip volume, improved shape, and a more youthful facial aesthetic with minimal downtime.
