LIP AUGMENTATION SANTA BARBARA, CA | DR. GREGORY S. KELLER, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING LIP AUGMENTATION

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic treatment available at Keller Plastic
Surgery, a state-of-the-art medical facility led by board-certified
facial plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory S. Keller. The procedure serves
residents of Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and
surrounding areas in California.

HOW LIP AUGMENTATION ENHANCES FACIAL APPEARANCE

As lips and mouth often exhibit the first signs of aging, lip
augmentation addresses multiple aesthetic concerns:

 	* Adds fullness to thin lips
	* Restores symmetry and definition
	* Diminishes vertical creases around the lip line
	* Rejuvenates facial appearance quickly and effectively

LIP AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES

Patients can choose between two primary lip augmentation methods:

 	* Dermal filler injections
	* Surgical lip implants
	* Minor surgical procedures with incisions under the nose

PROCEDURE SAFETY AND CANDIDACY

Lip augmentation is safe for most healthy adults. Individuals with
specific health conditions affecting the lip area, such as oral
herpes, may require alternative approaches.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The lip augmentation procedure is a simple outpatient treatment that
typically takes less than an hour. Depending on the chosen technique,
patients will experience either small incisions for implant insertion
or dermal filler injections.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following the
procedure. Minor discomfort, including swelling and bruising, may
occur and typically subsides within one to two days. Patients should
avoid touching or irritating the lips during the initial 24-hour
recovery period.

PROCEDURE LONGEVITY

Result duration varies based on the chosen technique:

 	* Surgical lip augmentation: Considered a permanent procedure
	* Injectable fillers: Results may last several months

LIP AUGMENTATION SANTA BARBARA, CA | PLASTIC SURGEON SANTA BARBARA:
DR. TIM NEAVIN

UNDERSTANDING LIP AUGMENTATION IN SANTA BARBARA

Lips continue to gain popularity as a favorite enhancement feature for
women and men. Full lips are not only beautiful but also youthful,
serving to rejuvenate the facial appearance. As individuals age, lips
naturally lose volume and projection, making lip augmentation a
sought-after cosmetic procedure.

THE AESTHETIC PRINCIPLES OF LIP ENHANCEMENT

Beautiful lips possess specific features and proportions that are
critical to understand during lip rejuvenation:

 	* The bottom lip should be approximately 1.5 times larger than the
upper lip
	* Most lip volume concentrates in the center two-thirds of the lip
	* Lip volume should taper as it approaches the mouth's corners
	* The upper lip features a distinctive philtral dimple and columns
	* The lower lip naturally has two subtle cheek-like volumes

LIP AUGMENTATION TECHNIQUES

Plastic surgeons utilize advanced injectable techniques to enhance lip
volume while maintaining natural aesthetics. Careful consideration of
lip sub-units and proportions prevents undesirable outcomes like "duck
lips" or artificial appearances.

FILLER OPTIONS FOR LIP ENHANCEMENT

Modern lip augmentation primarily employs hyaluronic acid-based
fillers such as Restylane® and Juvederm®. These temporary solutions
offer safe, predictable results lasting six months to two years.

BEYOND LIP AUGMENTATION: FACIAL REJUVENATION

Lip enhancement often complements broader facial rejuvenation
strategies. As facial volume naturally decreases with age,
complementary treatments like facial fat grafting or targeted
injectable treatments can restore youthful contours.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIP AUGMENTATION

Successful lip augmentation requires understanding individual facial
anatomy, aesthetic goals, and natural proportions. Professional
consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach for each
patient.
