Lip augmentation enhances the contour and fullness of lips for a younger, healthier appearance. Well-defined, plump lips are subject to sagging as we age. The colored portion of the lips thins out and the arch of the upper lip (cupid's bow) flattens. This problem is especially noticeable in women with naturally thin lips. Lip augmentation is appropriate for patients who wish to enhance the lips they are born with and for patients who wish to restore the lips aging takes away.
Advanced Plastic Surgery Center offers a variety of techniques to enhance the lips, including Juvederm, Restylane, Prevelle Silk, fat injections, and Alloderm.
Fat injections may be performed by suctioning fat with a small tube from another part of the body and injecting it into the lips. Technique is very important to optimize survival of the transplanted fat. Much of the fat may become absorbed over several months requiring repeated treatments. Prolonged swelling or asymmetry may also occur.
Alloderm is human cadaveric skin dermis (the deeper portion of the skin) that has been sterilized, and prepared to inhibit immune response and rejection. It comes in sheets and is trimmed and/or rolled and drawn through a tunnel formed in the lips. Swelling and firmness resolve with time.
