Lip Augmentation

As we age, we start to notice fine lines around the mouth as well as decrease in definition and bulk to our lips. Lip Augmentation using injectables can treat for facial lines and wrinkles. The procedure is a simple in-office procedure with no down time. In fact, many patients seek lip augmentation prior to significant events such as dinner parties or weddings. Most patients simply want to look their best on a weekly basis. Patients are first shown computer imaging in order to determine the best proportion of the lip augmentation as well as to reveal what is realistic for the patient to expect from the results. Ice is then placed on the injection areas, and a very fine needle is utilized for the injection.

Most patients compare the sensation to a bug bite. No sedation or local anesthetic is required, and it should be stressed that you can resume normal activities immediately. You can even drive yourself home or back to the office. Some patients will experience a slight temporary bruising at the injection site. This can also be covered with make-up.
