About Lip Augmentation via Juvéderm® Injections
We advise all patients considering lip augmentation to first use a temporary filler if they are contemplating anything long-lasting, like fat grafting. For temporary lip fillers, our lip enhancement professional, Dr. Hankins, recommends using a hyaluronic acid-based product such as Juvéderm® injections.
Juvéderm® is injected with local anesthesia into the lower and/or upper lip and can last up to eight to twelve months. Both the advantage and disadvantage of Juvéderm® filler is that the results are temporary, as the product is gradually reabsorbed by the body. Juvéderm® can either be injected at the white roll or the vermillion border, or just behind the wet-dry vermillion border, depending on the results that you are trying to obtain.
Injections at the white roll result in a “Paris lip,” in which the border of the lip is accentuated giving the patient a more youthful-appearing lip to counteract the gradual diminution of the lip border with aging. In contrast, injection of Juvéderm® just behind the wet-dry interface results in a natural-looking pouting lip, in which the body of the lips becomes more prominent. Whatever type of look you are going for can be enhanced and planned by our lip enhancement professionals at Premier Plastic Surgery.
About Lip Augmentation via Dermal Fat Grafts
Dermal fat grafts are taken from the groin under local anesthesia and threaded through channels created in the lips. They are a good option if the lip augmentation is being carried out at the same time as another procedure that necessitates an incision but has the disadvantage of producing a scar, albeit a hidden one. This method is much longer-lasting than Juvéderm® and should be carefully considered by both the patient and plastic surgeon.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lip Augmentation
Which lip augmentation is the best?
No one form of lip augmentation surpasses the other. Each option is uniquely crafted to address a wide array of patient needs and concerns. Hyaluronic acid fillers are immediately available but the effects are temporary whereas fat grafting is minimally invasive but the results are permanent.
How long does lip augmentation last?
Lip augmentation injections with hyaluronic acid fillers usually last around a year, but they can last up to a year and a half with proper maintenance.
What’s the most natural-looking lip augmentation?
Different patients may find that different augmentation options appear more naturally on them, but usually, small augmentations are what provide the most natural and subtle change.
Are lip augmentations common?
Lip augmentations continue to grow in popularity due to the subtle enhancement offered in a low-risk, noninvasive manner.
Will lip augmentation permanently affect my mouth?
No.
How much do lip fillers cost?
The cost varies according to the number of syringes needed for the patient to meet their goals.
Will my lips look unnatural with filler?
No, not if the filler is being injected properly.
What is the most commonly requested lip shape?
Usually the patient will bring in a photo of a model whose lips they like.
Is a lip flip or lip augmentation more natural-looking?
Lip filler.
Why isn’t Botox used in lip augmentation?
Botox is a neuromodulator, not a filler. However, Botox can be injected in small quantities around the lips to help prevent the treatment of skin lines.
See what a difference lip augmentation can make for your smile!
