Lip Augmentation Lexington, KY | Dr. Stephen A. Schantz, MD

Understanding Lip Enhancement Options

Lip augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance lip volume and definition. Patients can achieve fuller, more youthful lips through various techniques, including injectable fillers and surgical approaches.

Candidate Considerations for Lip Enhancement

• Individuals desiring fuller or more defined lips
• Both male and female patients are eligible
• Patients seeking to restore a more youthful lip appearance

Injectable Filler Techniques

Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are the most commonly used materials for lip augmentation. These fillers typically last 6-12 months, providing natural-looking volume and definition.

Fat Transfer Lip Augmentation

Fat transfer is an alternative lip enhancement method where patient's own fat is harvested through mini-liposuction and re-injected into the lips. Approximately 40% of transferred fat becomes permanent, with additional collagen stimulation.

Surgical Lip Enhancement Options

The sub-nasal lip lift is a surgical technique involving a discreet incision at the base of the nose. This procedure lifts the lip, restoring fullness and creating a more youthful appearance.

Procedure Comfort and Recovery

Lip augmentation procedures are designed for patient comfort. Dental nerve blocks and topical numbing gels minimize discomfort. Swelling is typically minimal, lasting only 1-2 days for hyaluronic acid injections.
