Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation can restore fullness by plumping up one’s natural size. Full, pouty lips have become more desirable in recent years. For this type of procedure, there are temporary as well as permanent techniques used for enhancement.

Dr. Kinney can help you get the kind of lips you’ve always wanted through various ways, such as with collagen or fat injections. These injectable fillers typically last for three to six months. Restylane, Juvederm and Prevelle are other options for creating fuller lips, which can last from six to 12 months. The majority of patients will experience swelling for one or two days following their procedure. Some injectable fillers may require an allergy test. You can discuss different injectable lip augmentation choices with Dr. Kinney.

A lip implant may be a permanent option to consider. Either synthetic implant material or your own fat can be transplanted into the upper or lower lip. With fat grafting, there is a chance of absorbing the fat back into the body. In order to achieve natural- looking lip augmentation, choose an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Kinney to perform this procedure.
