Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that adds volume and fullness to the lips. The most common method of lip augmentation is an injectable filler.

Lips are one of the most prominent features of the face. When we are young lips are smooth and full but due to hereditary factors and the aging process, our lips tend to develop wrinkles and over time thin out. Lip augmentation or lip enhancement restores shape and volume by eliminating wrinkles and adding fullness to the lips.

Lip augmentation is achieved in a variety of ways, including fillers, fat transfers, and surgical lip implants. So depending on which avenue you choose, your procedure will be different. Human-based collagen, bovine-based collagen or hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be injected into your lips to restore volume. Fat transfer uses the same concept, although it uses fat from another part of your body and injects that into your lips. Over time, the injectable materials may be absorbed by the body.

Those who are looking for a more permanent solution, however, can elect to have surgical implants inserted around the corners of the mouth. No matter which lip augmentation procedure you choose, you are sure to have the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire. Dr. Marvel will go over your goals and your medical history with you during your initial consultation to determine which procedure is right for you. The cost of lip augmentation depends on which procedure of enhancement is performed.

A lip lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that aims to enhance the appearance of the upper lip by increasing its visibility and creating a fuller, more defined look. This procedure is often chosen by individuals who feel that their upper lip is too thin or that there is too much distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose.

There are different techniques for performing a lip lift, but the most common involves making an incision just beneath the base of the nose. The surgeon then removes a small strip of skin to lift and shorten the upper lip, allowing more of the pink lip to be visible. This can result in a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing lip shape.
