Lip Augmentation in Ellicott City, MD | Metamorphosis Plastic Surgery

Understanding Lip Augmentation Techniques

Women seeking fuller, more prominent lips have multiple options for lip augmentation. Patients can choose between surgical and non-surgical techniques to enhance lip volume and shape.

Surgical Lip Enhancement Techniques

The Gull-Wing Lip Lift

This advanced technique focuses on modifying the vermillion, the pink area of the lips. During the procedure, a small incision removes skin and tissue to reshape the lip's contour, particularly around the Cupid's bow.

Sub-Nasal Lip Lift

Also known as a bull-horn lip lift, this method reshapes the Cupid's bow by removing tissue beneath the nose. The procedure lifts the lip, exposing a portion of the upper lip vermilion and creating enhanced volume.

Procedure Details

• Performed under general anesthesia
• Outpatient surgical procedure
• Typically takes 1-2 hours
• Initial swelling and moderate pain expected
• Final results develop over several months

Lip Augmentation Considerations

Patients should understand that successful lip enhancement requires a nuanced approach. The goal is to create subtle, natural-looking results that complement individual facial features.

Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Options

Depending on individual aesthetic goals, patients can choose between surgical lip lifts, implants, or non-surgical injectable fillers. A consultation with Metamorphosis Plastic Surgery will help determine the most appropriate technique.
