Permanently Enhance Your Lips with Augmentation

Have you always wanted fuller or more defined lips? Genetics do not always give you the look you desire for your features. However, there are options to improve features like your lips to give you what genetics did not. Lip augmentation can permanently change the shape or fullness of your lips to give you the pucker and smile you always wanted.

Lip Augmentation Options

There is not a one-size-fits all when it comes to lip cosmetic procedures. Like any facial feature, you want your lips to blend with your other features and look balanced. Too much enhancement may make your lips look out of place, but too thin of lips without shape can detract from your smile. A talented plastic surgeon can help you find the right shape and fullness for your lips to make you look your best. Some lip augmentations you may consider include:

  • Enhance the Cupid’s bow at the top of your lip
  • Fat injections or transfers for improved fullness and reduced lines
  • Lip implants
  • Lip lift

Some people only want thicker lips, while others want to add volume and change their lip shape. If lost volume is due to getting older, you may also want to fill in lines around the lips. You can work with your plastic surgeon to find the best combination of techniques to create the look you desire.

Your lips and smile are one of the first features that people notice about you. Make your lips look their best by seeking the assistance of a plastic surgeon. Schedule a consultation with a talented plastic surgeon to discuss permanently enhancing your lips through augmentation.

Benefits of a Lip Lift

When you see candid pictures of yourself, do you tend to look like you are frowning or sad? As you age, your lips can begin to sag and droop, creating a perpetual sad or upset appearance. The lips can also lose volume, becoming less voluptuous and thinner. To rejuvenate your lips and facial appearance, a lip lift from a talented facial plastic surgeon can give you a more youthful smile.

Corner Lip Lift

One of the most common lip lifts for combatting aging is the corner lip lift. This is a fairly simple plastic surgery procedure that elevates the corners of the mouth. This can reduce the sad look or frown that occurs in some people as they age. This can often be performed under local anesthesia with a quick recovery and limited downtime.

Bullhorn or Subnasal Lip Lift

Another type of lip lift that is commonly performed is the subnasal lip lift, also referred to as the bullhorn lip lift. This procedure lifts the upper lip to give it more balance. A small incision is made between the base of the nostrils and the upper lip, tightening and raising the upper lip. This can make the upper lip appear to have more volume and naturally show more of the upper teeth. The subnasal lip lift can be performed on both younger and older patients that appear to have a longer or thin upper lip. It can also be combined with a corner lip lift if necessary.

Lip lifts offer a permanent solution to aging lips. If you are ready to explore rejuvenating your lips and smile, call your local facial plastic surgeon that specializes in lip lifts.

Could You Benefit from a Cosmetic Lip Lift?

When it comes to facial cosmetic procedures, many people focus on the eyes, brow, nose or even cheeks. But what about your lips? Like the rest of the face, your skin around your mouth can lose its firmness as you age, changing the shape and adding wrinkles around your lips. Some people have a downward sag on the corners of their mouths that make them look sad or angry when they are not actively smiling. There are two versions of lip lifts that are most commonly used to improve this important area on the face.

  • Upper lip. A lift of the upper lip can alter the shape of the mouth and help restore a fuller appearance. This procedure can be tailored to the patient’s needs. For some, this surgery is used to reduce the appearance of an upper lip that is too long or covers too much of the top teeth.
  • Corner mouth. Correcting a mouth with a permanent downward position is one of the more popular lip lifts. A small incision is made at each corner of the mouth to give the patient a slightly upturned position, so instead of looking sad, they look happy. It offers a more youthful appearance as this small frown lines are associated with aging.

If your lips or mouth have changed as you have aged, a lip lift can improve the appearance of your mouth to look fuller and more youthful. A lip lift can also be used for anyone desiring to change the shape of their lips or mouth shape. To learn more, contact an experienced facial plastic surgeon for a consultation.
