Lip Augmentation San Antonio, TX | Earl E. Ferguson MD

Understanding Lip Augmentation Procedures

Lip augmentation is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to enhance lip volume and shape. The technique can increase the size of either the upper or lower lip, or both, using various methods including surgical and injectable approaches.

Augmentation Techniques

Earl E. Ferguson MD offers multiple lip augmentation options tailored to individual patient needs:

• Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
• Fat Transfer Procedures
• Permanent Lip Implants

Injectable Filler Procedure

Injectable lip augmentation is performed in a clinical setting using topical anesthesia. The procedure involves precisely placed hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance lip volume and contour. Patients can expect minimal discomfort and swift recovery.

Lip Augmentation Recovery and Results

Recovery varies depending on the chosen technique. Injectable procedures typically involve minimal downtime, with patients returning to normal activities within 1-2 days. Patients should avoid strenuous activities during initial healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While lip augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include:

• Temporary swelling
• Potential asymmetry
• Rare instances of infection
• Temporary numbness

Longevity of Lip Augmentation Results

Result duration depends on the chosen technique. Injectable fillers typically require maintenance every 3-4 months, while fat transfers and implants offer more prolonged outcomes.
