Lip Augmentation

Over time the sun, the elements, smoking and the aging process take their toll on a woman's lips. The corners of the mouth begin to droop. The V-shaped area of the upper lip ('Cupid's Bow') begins to flatten out and lose its youthful fullness. Vertical wrinkles ('Smoker's Lines') begin to appear, causing lipstick to bleed. That once sensual look is gone or greatly diminished.

Thanks to today's many medical advances there is help. Aging lips can be rejuvenated and less full lips can be enhanced.

What are my treatment options?

Lip enhancement and rejuvenation are two of the most frequently requested cosmetic procedures. Your options range from the latest in natural injectable fillers or FAMI (fat transfer).

Which treatment is best for me?

Dr. Nikko will help you select the procedure best for you depending on a variety of reasons, including the range in shape of your lips and the results desired.

INJECTABLE LIP ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS:

Fat Transfer
Restylane®

Fat Transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-liposuction, plumps up your lips using fat taken from inconspicuous sites on your body. Fat transfer to the lips is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to restore damaged or diminished dermal deficiencies.

What is the recovery like?

Following lip enhancement with one of the injectable products, your lips remain swollen for a few hours only. You may return to normal activities the same day. Touch-up treatments may be necessary.
