Lip Augmentation
Although artificial injectable fillers are most commonly used for lip augmentation, fat augmentation of the lips provides an option for individuals seeking a more permanent result. Fat augmentation provides a soft and natural feel to the lips, while maintaining longer lasting results.
Who is a candidate?
- Men and women desiring larger and fuller lips.
- Men and women who prefer a more permanent option for lip enlargement than artificial injectable fillers.
- It is recommended that patients first try injectable fillers to see how they like larger lips before jumping to fat augmentation.
- Non-smokers.
Intended Results
- Larger, more voluptuous lips.
- Lips with enhanced volume and pout.
Procedure Description
- The procedure is performed in our office procedure suite with local anesthesia.
- A small amount of fat is harvested usually from the abdomen.
- Small punctures are made at the corners of the lips and the lips are filled with fat up to the desired size and shape
- Care is taken to place minute amounts of fat during each injection to prevent lumps and bumps, while also providing for greater fat cell viability.
- The small puncture incisions are usually closed with dissolvable sutures.
- A compression garment is placed on the abdominal harvest site.
- Patients are sent home to recuperate.
Recuperation and Healing
- The recovery period averages 3-5 days.
- Swelling and bruising may occur to a variable degree and are usually mild.
- Patients may return to their daily life quickly.
- The sutures are dissolve on their own.
