Lip Augmentation in Atlanta, GA | Thomas Walker MD FACS

Understanding Lip Augmentation

Plump, pouty lips are more popular than ever. Not only are plump lips youthful, but they are also viewed as attractive. As we age, lips can begin to look thin and lined. Lip augmentation is a popular cosmetic option to help restore volume to the lips or add a hydrated look without significant volume changes.

What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation can be achieved through dermal filler injections, providing immediate outcomes with minimal downtime. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are among the most popular options due to their numerous benefits.

Lip Augmentation Benefits

• Smooth vertical lip lines
• Add volume to thin or aging lips
• Improve lip symmetry
• Refine lip shape

Candidacy for Lip Augmentation

Ideal candidates are healthy adults who are unhappy with thin, lined, or asymmetrical lips. The procedure is highly customizable, with options ranging from subtle hydration to more dramatic volume enhancement.

The Lip Augmentation Procedure

Performed in-office, the procedure involves applying a topical numbing cream and using a small needle to inject dermal fillers. The treatment typically takes about 15 minutes with minimal downtime.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild bruising and swelling for 1-3 days. Results are immediate, with final outcomes visible within one week. Lip augmentation results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the filler used and individual factors.
