What Are Lip Implants?

Lip implants involve placing soft, flexible silicone implants into the lips. These can give you fuller lips and can be done to the upper or lower lips. Most patients choose to do both lips if both the upper and bottom lips are thin. The result is a more balanced look to the lips with long-term results, unlike alternatives like lip fillers.

Benefits of Lip Implants

• Immediate, natural-looking results
• Long-lasting lip enhancement
• Customizable implant shapes and sizes
• No frequent touch-ups required
• Correction of lip asymmetry

Am I a Good Candidate for Lip Implants?

You can likely benefit from lip implants if you're dissatisfied with your lips' overall look, balance, and projection. Many patients opt for lip implants to help correct asymmetry or because they've tried lip fillers in the past but want longer-term results.

The Lip Implants Procedure

Lip implants can be performed in a very short amount of time using local anesthesia or sedation. Most patients have the procedure done under local anesthesia in the office. Dr. Rostami will create tiny entry points in the lip and place the implant accordingly.

Recovery and Results

Lip implants require a few days of recovery, during which you may experience some redness, bruising, and swelling. With proper aftercare, lip implants can last for many years and can easily be removed if needed.
