There are many options for lip augmentation. We have excellent fillers that last from 6 months to a bit more than a year. These are different forms of hyalouronic acid such as Juvederm and Restylane. They provide a natural feel in a simple injection form that takes 5 to 10 minutes to perform in the office. You are ready for your public in 24 to 36 hours.

Recently, implants (saline and silicone) have been introduced. Just like breast implants except the silicone is a solid gel rather than a liquid gel. As opposed to the old Goretex and Alloderm (cadaver skin), the extrusion, irregularities, and infection rate is almost nonexistent. They are permanent but can be removed rather easily. Recovery is approximately a week although most people look ok the next day. Different sizes and lengths are available to 'fill' any taste and shape of lips. This is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30-45 minutes. Some patients take a mild sedative to relax during this quick procedure. Call our office and talk to Kelley one of our recepcionists. She had it done on February 23rd and was back at work on the 24th looking good!. Here she is (top two photos.. 4 days post procedure) and bottom two just before. Stay Tuned....
