How is Lip Enhancement performed
There are 4 general ways we achieve Lip enhancement
- Lip fillers (Resytlane/Juvederm) – Lip injectable fillers are the most common lip enhancement procedures for lip enhancement. Most of these are made of hyaluronic acid material. Hyaluronic acid material are naturally occurring substances. They are safe, effective and provide soft enhancement. In general, the average cost is $600-$800 per syringe. per syringe. Most of our patient require one (1) syringe per lip depending on their goals. Plan to touch these up every 6 -12 months. Most injectable fillers are reversible. Fillers are usually performed in our office as outpatient procedure.
- Lip Fat grafting – Many of our patients prefer using their own fat. Basically, we remove fat from an area of excess and placed the fat within lips. Lip fat transfer or lip fat grafting is predictably unpredictable in terms of its results. When properly performed, lip fat grafting can provide long lasting results. We are very conservative with lip fat transfer because, it’s much easier to add more fat than remove excess fat remove from the lips. The average cost is $3000 to $4000 It can be performed under local anesthesia in our fully accredited and certified Ambulatory Surgery Center.
- Lip Implants – These are soft but solid silicone implants that are placed in the lip. Don’t worry, these do not leak! They are permanent, but can be removed if you don’t like it. It can be performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation or general anesthesia in our fully accredited and certified Ambulatory Surgery Center. The average cost is $2000-$3000 per lip
- Lip Lift surgeries – Lip Lift procedures are performed to “lift” the lip to show more of the lip. There are a variety of techniques to accomplish lip lift. Lip lift can be performed under local anesthesia, IV sedation or general anesthesia in our fully accredited and certified Ambulatory Surgery Center. The average cost is $4000-$6000 per lip
What to expect after lip enhancement
After your lip enhancement with filler or implant, your lips may swell. This is very normal and expected. We recommend icing during and after the procedure to helps with reduction of the swelling. The best day for lip filler injection is Thursday or Friday. Many of our patients can and do go back to work on Monday. We do not recommend lip massage unless we instruct you to do so. Massage can sometimes encourage more swelling.
