The signs of aging first appear on the face. Once full, plump lips begin to sag and lose their contour and fullness. The Cupid’s bow of the upper lip may begin to thin and flatten out as the color fades. Lip Enhancement effectively corrects these problems and restores what aging takes away.

Using the most modern procedures, techniques and instruments, the experts at Rhinoplasty Atlannta successfully perform lip augmentation procedures that work. Lip Enhancements can also be performed in combination with other facial procedures such as Rhinoplasty, Cheek Enhanncement, or Chin Augmentation to ensure the most balanced look and satisfying results possible!

Candidates for Lip Enhancement

  • Thin, flat lips
  • Lips recede when smiling
  • Self-conscious about how lips look
  • Fuller lips will help balance the face

Lip Enhancement Options

  • Injectible Fillers: Restylane Silk is an FDA approved hyaluronic acid cosmetic filler specifically created to add volume and fullness to the lips and erase vertical lines around the lips. The special viscosity of Restylane Silk allows each injection amount to connect to the adjacent one providing a smooth result that looks natural. Restylane Silk is safe and effective and does not require allergy testing prior to use.

  • Fat Transfer (PRP): Fat is harvested from another location on a patient’s body, purified, and then injected into the lips to achieve a full voluminous look. Facial fat transfer is a safe procedure that provides natural, long lasting results. Learn More+
  • Lip Advancement (Lip Shortening/Lip Lift): is a surgical procedure used to lift and enhance the upper lip, and can also be used to reshape the lower lip. Lip advancement can be a very satisfying procedure for those with thin lips due to genetics or aging and can produce a fuller, more well-defined set of lips permanently!

About the Procedures

  • The face will be cleaned, and patient will be draped.
  • Pre-operative markings will outline the procedure.
  • Lip tissues will be injected with local anesthetic.

Aftercare and Recovery

After a Lip Enhancement procedure, patients can expect to experience some numbness and loss of sensation, along with swelling and bruising. This all diminishes over time. The swelling usually subsides within 7-10 days and numbness may last for up to 4-6 weeks. To assist in the recovery process, Dr. Abramson suggests that patients do the following:

  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Go on a liquid diet for a day or two
  • Use ice packs to help reduce swelling and manage discomfort
  • Keep scheduled follow-up appointments following surgery
