What Is Lip Augmentation?
If you were born with thin lips or you are noticing less fullness in your lips over time, surgical lip augmentation can help give you full, well-shaped lips. Surgical lip enhancement at Plastic Surgery of Tuscaloosa may be done with a fat transfer, silicone implants, or a lip lift to create the volume you desire. Surgical lip augmentation can give you beautiful results that are long-lasting. If you are interested in learning more about surgical or nonsurgical augmentation, contact our office in Tuscaloosa, AL to schedule an appointment for a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ross Bunch.
How Is Lip Augmentation Performed?
The treatment used for your lip augmentation procedure will vary based on your needs. However, one of the following three forms of surgical lip augmentation is typically performed.
- Lip Implants: A thin incision is created in the corner of the mouth so the lip implant(s) can be guided into place. It may take several weeks for the implant(s) to settle into their final position and swelling to subside, but implants in the lips will give you improvements that last for years.
- Fat Transfer: First, fat will be extracted (via liposuction) from an area of your body. The extracted fat will then be cleaned and injected into your lips until the desired fullness is achieved. Since some fat can be reabsorbed in time, your lips can be filled a little more to compensate for this eventual loss. Lip enhancement using a fat transfer may be done multiple times to enhance or sustain your results, but usually, your results will last for several years.
- Lip Lift: During this surgical lip enhancement, a thin incision will be made along the lower and/or upper lip line. A small area of skin outside the lips will be removed so the lips can be pulled to cover the excised skin and sutured in place. This lip advancement surgery creates long-lasting improvements to the size and shape of the lips.
What Are the Benefits of Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation can provide you with the plump lips you have longed for with long-lasting results and benefits, including the following:
