Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation can restore the shape and volume in your lips, while also correcting visible lines around your mouth.
hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane Kysse & Restylane defyne) are a popular treatment for the temporary correction of facial wrinkles and folds. These fillers works by restoring hydration and volume to the tissue.
After a consultation and examination, Dr. Melanie Petro can recommend the best product for your lip enhancement procedure. This procedure can accomplish multiple goals. Depending on your needs, dr. petro may design the procedure to restore volume, reshape or rejuvenate your lips. The upper lip, lower lip and Cupid’s bow can all be treated.
When to Consider Lip Enhancement
Aging can cause a variety of changes in and around the lips. Conditions such as smoker’s lines, laugh lines or marionette lines can appear around the lips, while they also lose volume, taking on a flatter, thinner appearance.
If you are bothered by these conditions, or if you feel that your lips are small or lacking shape, you may be a candidate for lip augmentation. Be sure to inform the doctor about oral conditions or a tendency to experience skin eruptions near the lips.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER the INJECTION?
You’ll notice the results right away, and the area may even feel puffy for a short time. Minor swelling is normal and can be managed with ice if necessary. During the first 24 hours after the treatment, you should avoid rigorous exercise, sun exposure, heat exposure and alcohol consumption, which may cause unwanted side effects.
Results last about nine to twelve months, so you may want to plan for touch up injections if you want to maintain the results.
