request an appointmentWhat is lip augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a term used to refer to treatments that increase the volume or enhance the shape of your lips. While options like collagen injections and fat transfer were once the primary means of lip augmentation, dermal fillers are now the preferred technique.
Many fillers are formulated from synthetic hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that your body produces and is well-accepted by your natural tissues. There are many different fillers to choose from, including some created specifically for lip augmentation.
At DNAge Medical, all services, including lip augmentation, are performed to make the most of your existing facial features and natural beauty. Virtually everyone has seen photos of celebrities or ordinary people who’ve gone too far with lip augmentation and no longer have a normal facial appearance.
Your practitioner is here to help you look like the best version of yourself, not to create an unnatural or unbalanced appearance.
What is the process for getting lip augmentation?
The process begins with discussing what you hope to achieve through lip augmentation. This is a highly customizable treatment, so it’s essential that your practitioner knows your goals. Just as important is that you understand what is and is not achievable through lip augmentation.
Treatment doesn’t just focus on boosting the overall volume of your lips. A skilled practitioner can also refine the contouring and definition of your lip lines and create subtle improvement in the curve of your smile.
A numbing cream reduces sensation in your lips before your practitioner injects the filler material. Multiple shallow injections are usually needed to create a balanced final effect. The process doesn’t take long, and there’s no need for advance preparation or significant recovery time.
How do I know if lip augmentation is right for me?
The best way to understand how lip augmentation might work for you is to book a face-to-face consultation at DNAge Medical. Your practitioner can evaluate your lips and the dynamics of your smile and provide an overview of how augmentation can help move you closer to your aesthetic goals.
