Lip Enhancement Options
Lip Flip Injection
This is a quick, in-office cosmetic procedure that lasts about 10 to 20 minutes. It involves the injection of Botox into your Cupid’s bow, which is the middle of your upper lip, and into the corners of your mouth. The injection temporarily relaxes the muscles around your lip. This causes the part of your upper lip that is inside your mouth to “flip” upward and outward, giving your lip a fuller appearance. The cost is very affordable.
Fat injections
Autologous fat injections, also called fat grafting, use fat from another part of your body as a lip filler. Fat grafting typically involves liposuction surgery on a different area of the body, and the procedure can be done without incisions on the face or lips. Fat injections can achieve a beautiful, augmented lip contour that looks and feels very natural and last for a long time. This procedure looks and feels very natural in the lips and results can last for many years. The only consideration is downtime and cost while some injected fat may not survive in its new location, possibly requiring additional treatment to achieve the desired result.
