Lips can be enhanced in several ways depending on your
desired result. Collagen may be used to fill out the lips,
give better balance between the upper and lower lip, or
even show more of the pink, or vermillion, of the lip. The
procedure can be performed in the office, and requires no
incisions. Swelling will last a few hours. Results can be
expected to last approximately four months. There are longer
lasting injectible filler materials being developed all
the time, so be sure to call us and ask about what new products
might be available.
More permanent methods for lip enhancement are also available.
These include Alloderm, fat injections, and other permanent
filler materials. Swelling for these procedures lasts a
little longer, but the result is much more long lasting.
