Lip augmentation is a popular procedure that creates fuller, plumper lips. It is used to enhance the appearance and reduce wrinkles around the mouth, sometimes referred to as “smoker lines”.

Hyaluronic acid (example: Restylane, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Silk, Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus) is by far the most common product used for lip augmentation. It is a substance naturally found in human body. It is responsible for holding water and giving volume to the skin. As part of aging, body’s natural hyaluronic acid production slows, which in turn result in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. A simple, in-office procedure of lip augmentation with Restylane or Juvederm can replenish the lost volume, smooth out the wrinkles around the mouth or create the lips you have always wanted.

What Is The Procedure?

After the initial lip augmentation (enhancement) consultation the lips are numbed with topical anesthetic cream. After the lips are numbed and cleaned, it takes 10 to 15 minutes for your medical provider to inject your lips. The procedure involves a series of painless injections with a very small needle. The result are seen right away.

Your lips may feel sore and mildly swollen for a few days after the treatment. Some areas may also feel tender and sensitive. To reduce the risk of complications, it is important to follow all the instructions you receive during the consultation.

Using ice packs also reduces your chances of bruising and extends numbing effects of the anesthesia. You are also advised to keep the areas clean, avoid massaging the lips and smoking for 48 hours.
