Understanding Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic treatment available at Keller Plastic Surgery, a state-of-the-art medical facility led by board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory S. Keller. The procedure serves residents of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas in California.

How Lip Augmentation Enhances Facial Appearance

As lips and mouth often exhibit the first signs of aging, lip augmentation addresses multiple aesthetic concerns:

Adds fullness to thin lips
Restores symmetry and definition
Diminishes vertical creases around the lip line
Rejuvenates facial appearance quickly and effectively

Lip Augmentation Techniques

Patients can choose between two primary lip augmentation methods:

Dermal filler injections
Surgical lip implants
Minor surgical procedures with incisions under the nose

Procedure Safety and Candidacy

Lip augmentation is safe for most healthy adults. Individuals with specific health conditions affecting the lip area, such as oral herpes, may require alternative approaches.

Procedure Details

The lip augmentation procedure is a simple outpatient treatment that typically takes less than an hour. Depending on the chosen technique, patients will experience either small incisions for implant insertion or dermal filler injections.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure. Minor discomfort, including swelling and bruising, may occur and typically subsides within one to two days. Patients should avoid touching or irritating the lips during the initial 24-hour recovery period.
