Lip Augmentation

An Overview

In general, lip augmentation incorporates any method, surgical or non-surgical, of lip enhancement. Patients who elect to undergo lip augmentation surgery will need to be willing to seek out the most qualified plastic surgeon and pay the extra dollar for a permanent solution. Meanwhile, there are numerous options for those interested in non-surgical lip augmentation, as well.

Injectable fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane, CosmoPlast™, and Collagen Injections can work double duty as wrinkle removers and lip enhancers, adding a practical and aesthetically pleasing fullness and definition that can range anywhere from a subtle plump-up to Angelina Jolie lips.

To decide which treatment type would work best for you, consult with a knowledgeable industry professional.

How Long Does this Procedure Take?

Lip augmentation is a very quick process and usually takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Lip Augmentation Side Effects:

Side effects are usually rare, but in the case of traditional bovine Collagen, allergic reaction can occur. That's why any reputable provider will conduct a test patch before treatment if they use bovine Collagen. Other reactions can include bumpiness around the mouth, itching, or mishapen lips caused by using too much of the injectable.

Length of Lip Augmentation Results:

Normally, lip augmentation lasts up to 6 months, however, some dermal fillers can last up to a year, as is the case with Radiance or Radiesse. If you committ to such a treatment, you'll want to make sure you have confidence in your provider as you will have to live with the results much longer than with other dermal injectables.

Lip Augmentation Recovery Time:

No recovery time is needed for lip augmentation.

Typical Minimum Cost:

$300 (per treatment)

Typical Maximum Cost:

$1200 (per treatment)

Will I feel pain or discomfort after treatment?

You may feel soreness at the injection site, but pain is uncommon. If you feel like you are allergic to any ingridient in the injectable or have severe stinging or burning, consult your provider immediately.
