Lip Augmentation

Introduction to Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation injections use various kinds of injected collagen, fat, or other medical-grade substances to create fuller, plumper lips. This procedure can also reduce fine lines around the mouth. It is essential to note that injections are not permanent because the body naturally absorbs these substances. Other implantable materials are available for those interested in a more permanent solution. There are several ways to create the perfect pout. A skilled plastic surgeon will discuss the best approach for your needs during your one-on-one consultation at East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery in New York and New Jersey.

What Is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that focuses on increasing the size of the lips using dermal filler injections. With age, all parts of our face, especially the thinner areas like our lips, experience fat atrophy, or loss of volume. A filler can help fill that lost volume. Fillers can also be used to fill undesirable facial defects, such as wrinkles or grooves.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Lip Augmentation?

The best candidates for lip augmentation in the New York area are those seeking a quick and non-invasive enhancement to their lips. Below is a list to help you determine whether or not lip injections are right for you:

What’s the first step?

If you’re looking for lip augmentation in the New York and New Jersey areas, your first step is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert providers at ECAPS. During your one-on-one consultation with a surgeon at one of our ECAPS Centers, you will review these considerations to ensure that injectables are the right option. You should be prepared to discuss your full medical history during your consultation, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries or treatments, drug allergies, current medications, and use of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances.

Once you both agree to proceed with lip augmentation, your surgeon will design a personalized treatment plan. You can then choose to get the injection right after your consultation or schedule it for a more convenient time.

Special Considerations for Lip Augmentation Injections

Please reflect upon the following factors before committing to cosmetic procedures in the New Jersey area:

  • Expectations: Lip augmentation procedures can improve lip thickness and reduce signs of aging, but they do not stop the aging process altogether. Please note that lip augmentations using injections are not permanent procedures and may require repeat injections to maintain your desired look.
  • Medical conditions: This procedure is not recommended for individuals with active cold sores, lip scarring, diabetes, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. These factors can complicate the procedure and interfere with optimal recovery.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Augmentation Treatment

On the day of your lip augmentation in the New York and New Jersey areas, your surgeon and their staff will welcome you to ECAPS, get you settled in a treatment room, and review your treatment plan in case of any outlying concerns. Finally, they will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

Once you are numb, your provider will administer the lip filler injection. They will massage your lips as they inject to help contour them for the right aesthetic and balance.

A lip augmentation treatment, with no complications, typically takes fifteen to thirty minutes and should yield immediate results.

Lip Augmentation Recovery

Lip augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthesia and sedation. You should feel fine and be back to your normal routine within a day or two after your lip augmentation with injections. Your lips will be tender to the touch at first, and slight bruising or swelling may occur, but these issues typically resolve within two weeks. After a few hours of recovery, you will be permitted to go home.

The skilled plastic surgeons at the East Coast Advanced Plastic Surgery Center will be with you during all of your facial procedures. You will be sent home with detailed care instructions to ensure a successful recovery.
