Lip Augmentation St. Louis, MO | C.B. Boswell, MD, FACS

Understanding Lip Augmentation Techniques

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to create fuller, more defined lips by enhancing the vermillion border and reducing fine wrinkles around the mouth. Patients seek this treatment to either achieve fuller lips or restore the volume lost with aging.

Injectable Filler Options

C.B. Boswell, MD, FACS offers multiple lip augmentation techniques using advanced injectable materials, including:

• Natural collagen fillers
• Synthetic biocompatible materials like HylaForm and Restylane
• Patient's own fat transfer

Procedure Characteristics

Tissue filler injections are performed in-office with minimal downtime. Patients may experience temporary side effects such as mild swelling, redness, or slight itching. Most individuals can resume normal activities immediately following the procedure.

Expected Results and Recovery

Injection results vary depending on the chosen material. Restylane typically shows reduced swelling within 1-2 days, while fat transfer might require up to one week for complete resolution of initial swelling.
