Lip Enhancement
What is lip enhancement?
Full, smooth lips remain a lasting beauty trend, seen on actresses, models, and red carpet celebrities. Women unhappy with the size, shape, projection, color, or texture of their lips have many options for improving their smile. Today's techniques mean results no longer have to look overdone. In skilled hands, lip enhancement amplifies your natural features and adds to your confidence.
Before and After Photos of Lip Enhancement at Allure Plastic Surgery
Some women lose lip volume and shape as they age. Others never had the fuller lips they wanted in the first place. For both, lip enhancement is a chance to finally like what they see in the mirror.
How is lip enhancement performed?
After a private consultation, we build a personalized plan for your concerns. Techniques vary in how long results last and how much downtime they need. We make sure you get the option that fits your needs.
Dermal fillers
Most lip fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a compound found organically in the human body. HA binds with water molecules to produce a hydrated, supple lip appearance that is effortlessly youthful. The treatment process is painless and comes with no downtime. Results can last anywhere from 6-8 months.
Fat injections
Here, fat is harvested from another area of the body where it is unwanted, such as the hips, belly, or thighs. It is then purified and sterilized before being injected into the lips to restore subtle yet rounded contours. Fat injections have the added benefit of slimming the donor region.
Silicone injections
Like lip implants, silicone injections can produce long-term improvements to the shape, size, and texture of the lips. Microinjections are placed to create a natural-looking result.
Lip implants
Silicone lip implants create a fuller, more defined lip. They may suit patients who are not comfortable with silicone lip injections.
Upper lip lift
This minor surgical procedure is done under local anesthesia. It gently elevates the upper lip, shortening the distance to the nose and revealing more of the red portion of the lip.
