If you were born with thin lips or if your lips are becoming thinner as part of the natural aging process, you may wonder what you can do to make them bigger.
Lip augmentation through dermal fillers is an excellent option for people who want to enhance the size of their lips. Many of our patients who undergo lip filler treatments remark on how natural their results are and how much they love the enhanced youthfulness of their appearance.
What Is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to provide fuller and plumper lips. Dermal fillers such as Restylane Kysse are commonly used for lip augmentation procedures. Made from a hyaluronic acid gel, Restylane Kysse is the first FDA-approved lip filler specifically designed for lip augmentation.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced in the body. It contributes to a more hydrated, plumper appearance on the skin and lips.
Lip augmentation procedures can help restore lost volume and enhance the shape of the lips. They can also smooth wrinkles that appear on the top of the lips or along the sides of the mouth. Restylane Kysse offers long-lasting results for patients who undergo lip augmentation as one of the top dermal fillers recommended for the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of Lip Augmentation?
Enhanced Appearance
Lip fillers can enhance your already beautiful appearance. They allow patients to feel more youthful and can correct misshapen lips.
Gradual Enhancement
Once lip fillers are injected, lips gradually increase in size. Individuals who have thin lips but want to control the volume they obtain through dermal fillers can use them over time to manage their results. Once they know the amount of filler they prefer, future appointments can ensure that the proper volume is maintained.
Limited Downtime
A lip augmentation procedure can be performed quickly — often in under an hour. Those with other responsibilities appreciate the short appointment time. Recovery from lip augmentation is fast. Patients are usually able to return to their normal activities immediately following their appointment.
Long-Lasting
When lip augmentation is performed with Restylane Kysse, results last up to a year. The unique formula of Restylane Kysse is designed especially for lips. You can experience the benefits of your lip fillers for a long time before maintenance sessions are required.
What Can I Expect During a Lip Augmentation Procedure?
On the day of your lip augmentation procedure, you’ll be given a local numbing agent to ease any discomfort. Very thin needles will be used to inject Restylane Kysse in the intended areas. You’ll be given ice after the injections to minimize any potential swelling.
Can I Combine Lip Augmentation with Other Procedures?
Yes! Lip augmentation is commonly performed alongside other treatments, such as Botox or dermal filler treatments for the face.
