Introduction

About Lip Enhancement

If you’re bothered by thin lips, you’re not alone. Fuller, more prominent lips have become highly desirable over the last few years, and it’s not a characteristic that’s easy to come by. Thin lips can be the result of genetics and aging. Dermal fillers are a typical solution to this concern, but lip fillers might not be the solution you want. Lip enhancement is an alternative for augmenting and enhancing the lips. Although injectable fillers are more commonly used for lip augmentation, implants are an option if you’re seeking a more permanent result. The implants are placed through a tiny entry point in the lips using local anesthesia, creating instant volume. They can even last for a lifetime, giving you a voluminous look that lasts and helps you feel more confident in the way you look.

Are You a Good Candidate:

Lip Enhancement

Everyone has a unique journey with cosmetic surgery and the decisions that brought you to pursue it. You have options for lip enhancement, and implants are only one of them. You’re likely a good candidate for lip enhancement if you identify with the following:

You Want Larger, Fuller Lips 

Thin lips can not only take away from your facial balance, but they can also age your face. Implants can create better projection and balance for a more voluptuous look. 

You’re In Overall Good Health 

Despite lip enhancement being a minimally invasive procedure, you should be in overall good health. Dr. Tehrani will check your medical history for any health concerns that could impact your procedure. 

You Want Long-Lasting Results 

If you’ve tried dermal fillers but want something more long-lasting, then lip implants can help. Lip implants can last for a lifetime, unlike fillers. 

You Don’t Rely on Your Lips or Mouth for a Living 

Scuba divers, woodwind instrument, or flute players can experience problems with function after lip enhancement. Additionally, if a change in mouth function could impair your professional activities (i.e. professional singers, public speakers, professional wind instrument players), you may not be a good candidate. 

Lip Enhancement Goals

How Can It Help Me Feel More Confident?

Create Three-Dimensional Volume 

Often, lip fillers can look great from a forward angle but don’t match the face from other angles. Lip implants are designed to function just like your natural lips, creating three-dimensional volume without looking too augmented. 

Noticeable Volume and Pout 

Bigger, fuller lips can visibly enhance your whole face, creating a sexier, more alluring appearance. If you want voluminous, kissable lips, implants can help. 

Better Facial Balance 

Thin lips can get lost in the face, taking away from its natural balance. Lip enhancement can better balance your facial features and improve your overall aesthetic.   

Benefits of Lip Enhancement

How Can We Help You Feel Great About Your Decision?

Picture how lip enhancement could improve your overall facial aesthetic. There are many benefits to lip enhancement, and Dr. Tehrani can help you learn more about them during a consultation. Here are just a few.

Reversible Results

Lip implants can easily be removed if you change your mind or want to try a different implant size or type.

Long-Lasting Results

Once the implants are in place, they’re effectively permanent. This means you don’t need to worry about touching up fillers or losing your results over time.

Minimal Downtime

Lip implants require only a few days of downtime before you can return to daily activities.

Lip Enhancement Preparation

Get ready for your transformation!

Getting ready for your procedure is essential. Preparation is typically minimal for lip enhancement, and our team will review detailed instructions with you ahead of your procedure. Some steps include: 

  • Stop smoking. Smoking can interfere with your healing ability and circulation. Stop smoking before and after your procedure. 
  • Avoid certain medications. Blood thinners and anti-inflammatory medications can put undue risk on your procedure and should be avoided. 
Compare & Contrast

Lip Enhancement vs. Dermal Fillers

Lip Enhancement

Lip enhancement is performed during a quick, in-office procedure. It uses soft, flexible implants made of silicone, Gore-Tex, or inflatable silicone, and your choice can be personalized to your needs. The biggest difference in lip enhancement is that your results are long-lasting and don’t need to be touched up regularly. Once in place, the implants function just like your natural lips.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular choice for lip enhancement. Although they can be ideal if you want to explore what you might look like with bigger lips, they don’t last and can require you to repeat your treatment every year. Some people aren’t good candidates for dermal fillers, meaning lip implants can be a better option.

Lip Enhancement Recovery

After your procedure, your lips will be swollen and bruised. We recommend taking 7-10 days of recovery to give the delicate tissues time to heal and any visible swelling and bruising time to subside. You’ll need to eat a soft diet for 4-5 days to avoid opening your mouth wide and irritating your treatment site. Any sutures will dissolve on their own – you’ll follow up with our team to ensure your results are progressing as intended.

Within 2-3 weeks, you should feel comfortable with your results and use your lips like normal.

Chin Augmentation

Chin augmentation is another implant surgery that can enhance the overall profile of your face. It uses soft, biocompatible implants to enhance the projection of your chin.

Fat Transfer to Face

Fat transfer is another way to enhance your lips using your own fat. It involves liposuction on another area and injecting the collected fat to create natural projection.

Buccal Fat Removal

Buccal fat removal can help slim the face and get rid of chubby cheeks. Combined with lip enhancement, it can transform your face and create a more mature, elegant look.

I would recommend Tehrani Plastic Surgery.

Love the filler. He knows exactly how much to put in so you don't look obvious, just refreshed and a few years younger, even better with some Botox. I would recommend Tehrani Plastic Surgery.
