Lip Augmentation Peoria, IL | Merheb Surgical Arts

Understanding Lip Augmentation in Central Illinois

Full lips represent youth and beauty, and Merheb Surgical Arts offers professional lip enhancement techniques in Peoria and surrounding Illinois communities. As individuals age, lips naturally lose volume and definition. Lip augmentation provides a solution to restore lip fullness and enhance facial aesthetics.

Lip Enhancement Techniques

Merheb Surgical Arts utilizes multiple lip augmentation approaches:

• Injectable Dermal Fillers (such as Juvederm)
• Lip Implant Procedures
• Conservative Enhancement Strategies

Injectable Filler Procedure Details

Typical lip augmentation with injectable fillers involves precise product placement using local anesthesia. The procedure is performed in-office, with results lasting approximately one year. Dr. Merheb emphasizes natural-looking enhancements, particularly for first-time patients.

Surgical Lip Implant Option

For patients seeking more permanent results, surgical lip implantation involves creating small incisions along the lip's vermilion border. Specialized implants are carefully inserted, with sutures used to complete the procedure.

Recovery and Post-Procedure Expectations

Patients can anticipate minimal discomfort following lip augmentation. Typical recovery characteristics include:

• Moderate swelling resolving within several days
• Application of ice packs for 24-48 hours
• Optional Arnica Montana to reduce bruising
• Potential short-term prescription of oral steroids

Ideal Candidates for Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation may benefit individuals experiencing:

• Age-related lip volume loss
• Asymmetrical or disproportionate lips
• Desire for enhanced lip definition
• Reduction of fine lines around the mouth
