Lip Augmentation Metairie, LA | Dr. Jules Walters - Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

About Lip Augmentation

If you have slim lips or have noticed volume loss with aging, lip augmentation can help create a more shapely and full pout. Dr. Jules Walters offers both surgical and nonsurgical options to enhance lip volume and shape at the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa.

Lip Enhancement Techniques

Dermal Grafting

A dermal graft involves borrowing tissue from another body area and surgically adding it to the lips. This technique creates more volume and structure in areas that appear sunken or thin.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer provides natural lip enhancement by extracting fat from another body area through minimally invasive liposuction and strategically re-injecting processed fat into the lips. This method offers long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Dermal Fillers

Injectable dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm offer temporary lip volume enhancement. These minimally invasive treatments can quickly add fullness and reduce vertical lip lines.

Ideal Candidates for Lip Augmentation

• Individuals with naturally thin lips
• Patients experiencing age-related lip volume loss
• Those with asymmetrical or uneven lip shape
• Patients in good overall health

Procedure Details

Lip augmentation procedures vary based on the chosen technique. Options range from quick injectable treatments to surgical grafting, with recovery times and results differing accordingly.

Surgical Technique

Lip augmentation surgery is typically an outpatient procedure lasting 30 minutes to 2 hours. Dr. Walters will discuss anesthesia options and specific procedural details during your consultation.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect temporary tenderness and potential swelling following the procedure. Results from dermal fillers typically last 3-12 months, while surgical techniques offer more long-lasting enhancements.
