Lip Augmentation Lake Oswego, OR | Dr. Mark A. Petroff, MD

What is Lip Augmentation?

Full, shapely lips can significantly enhance facial appearance for patients experiencing thinning lips due to aging or those desiring naturally fuller lips. Dr. Mark A. Petroff offers synthetic lip injectable dermal fillers tailored to each patient's unique needs and aesthetic goals in Lake Oswego, OR.

Am I a Candidate for Lip Enhancement?

Ideal candidates for lip augmentation typically include patients who:

• Have naturally thin lips
• Desire longer-lasting lip enhancement
• Are allergic to traditional injectable filler solutions
• Demonstrate overall good health

Lip Augmentation Procedure Options

Dr. Petroff provides two primary lip augmentation approaches: surgical implants and injectable dermal fillers. Both procedures can be performed as outpatient treatments with minimal scarring and downtime.

Surgical Implant Technique

Surgical lip augmentation involves small incisions at the mouth's outer corners for implant insertion. Dissolvable sutures are used to close the minimal incision, ensuring discrete healing and natural-looking results.

Dermal Filler Injection Method

Injectable dermal fillers provide a non-surgical alternative for lip enhancement. Dr. Petroff currently prefers Juvéderm®, a smooth hyaluronic acid-based gel that naturally plumps and volumizes lips without requiring pre-treatment testing.

Benefits of Lip Augmentation

• Enhances thin or delicate lips
• Increases facial volume and youthfulness
• Corrects lip asymmetry
• Rejuvenates overall facial aesthetics
• Provides customized enhancement options

Lip Augmentation Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild swelling and sensitivity following the procedure, which typically resolves within a few days. Lip implants gradually integrate with natural tissues, while dermal fillers will slowly absorb over time.
