In-office treatment
Lip Augmentation
Refine lip volume, shape, definition, or symmetry with a personalized approach.
Overview
Understanding the procedure.
Lip augmentation can use hyaluronic-acid fillers for a nonsurgical option or fat-transfer and surgical techniques for selected patients.
Treatment is planned around facial proportions and may address naturally thin lips, age-related volume loss, or asymmetry without obscuring normal expression.
Is it right for you?
Candidacy is personal.
Adults seeking a measured change in lip volume or shape may be candidates. Product history, anatomy, prior treatment, and the desired degree and duration of change guide the recommendation.
What to expect
A plan shaped around you.
Injectable treatment is performed in the office with topical or local numbing and typically takes less than an hour. Fat-transfer or surgical options require a different setting and a more involved plan.
Recovery
Time and support for healing.
Temporary swelling, tenderness, and bruising can follow injections and often ease over several days. Surgical or fat-transfer recovery is longer, and final volume may take time to settle.
