Enhance lip volume and shape with temporary injectable treatments or longer-lasting options selected around the look and longevity you want.
Lip augmentation can be subtle or more noticeable, temporary or longer-lasting. The right plan begins with a clear conversation about your preferences.
Get plumper, fuller lips at Plastic Surgery Center of the South in Marietta with lip augmentation. The practice offers multiple options to enhance the lips or soften wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth.
The extent of your enhancement and how long you would like the result to last are personal decisions that should be discussed thoroughly with your physician. Patients visit the practice from Atlanta, Roswell, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs and nearby Georgia communities.
Injectable treatments can provide a way to experience added lip volume without committing to a surgical procedure.
Surgical grafting or implant-based approaches may be considered for patients looking for results designed to last longer.
Your physician can help match the treatment method to your anatomy, desired fullness and comfort with maintenance or surgery.
Injectable lip augmentation is administered directly into the lips with a very fine needle. Local anesthesia may be used to minimize discomfort. The source content describes several injectable materials that may be considered depending on the treatment goal.
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler used to add volume and fullness to the lips and to soften mild to moderate facial wrinkles and folds. The supplied content notes that individual results vary and describes a typical duration of approximately 6 to 12 months.
JUVÉDERM is another hyaluronic acid filler option. The supplied content describes its formulation as having additional crosslinking intended to support a longer-lasting effect.
The source material lists Sculptra and Restylane SubQ among injectable materials that may be used for soft-tissue augmentation.
Collagen injections may help raise depressions, lines or wrinkles toward the level of the surrounding skin. Some collagen products may require allergy testing. The supplied content describes results lasting approximately 2 to 4 months, with periodic touch-ups as needed.
RADIESSE is described in the supplied content as a calcium hydroxylapatite-based facial contouring filler that creates a scaffold through which the body’s own collagen can grow. The source material cites an average longevity of approximately 11 to 18 months depending on the treatment area.
Dr. Corey Harkins can help you compare temporary injectable treatments with longer-lasting grafting or implant options based on your anatomy, desired level of fullness and preference for maintenance.
Clear communication is central to lip augmentation planning. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss how much enhancement you want, how long you would like the result to last and the tradeoffs associated with each approach.
For patients who have experienced temporary injectable enhancement and want a longer-lasting option, the source content describes several procedures that can be performed with local anesthesia in a minor procedure setting.
AlloDerm graft material is processed from donated human skin supplied through U.S. tissue banks. Small incisions are made near the inner corners of the lip, a tunnel is created, and the graft is threaded through the lip so the patient’s own tissue can grow into the scaffold.
Fat is taken from another area of the patient’s body and injected into the lips until the desired fullness is reached. Some of the transferred fat may be reabsorbed if it does not establish a permanent blood supply.
Dermal fat may be harvested from an existing scar or donor site and implanted into the lips in a manner similar to AlloDerm. The supplied content notes that partial reabsorption can occur.
This approach is described as similar to dermal fat grafting but performed in conjunction with facelift surgery. Some of the grafted tissue may partially reabsorb over time.
The source content describes FULFILL as a saline-filled lip prosthesis available in different sizes and intended to provide a long-lasting result. Your physician can discuss whether an implant-based approach is appropriate for your anatomy and goals.
Injectable fillers can offer a way to explore added volume without surgery. Results are temporary and may require repeat treatment to maintain the effect.
Surgical options require incisions and healing but are designed for patients who want a more durable change after discussing the risks, recovery and expected longevity with their physician.
Some swelling and bruising are expected after lip augmentation, whether the treatment is injectable or surgical.
Discuss the amount of fullness you want, how long you would like results to last, and whether you prefer a temporary or longer-lasting approach.
Injectables are placed with a very fine needle. Longer-lasting surgical options described in the source content may be performed with local anesthesia and can take approximately one to two hours.
Swelling and possible bruising can occur. The source guidance recommends applying ice during the first 24 hours and keeping the head elevated for approximately 24 to 48 hours.
Some degree of post-treatment swelling is normal as the lips begin to heal.
The source guidance recommends ice during the first 24 hours after treatment.
Head elevation for the first 24 to 48 hours may help during the early recovery period.
Meet with Dr. Harkins to discuss the level of fullness you want, how long you would like your results to last and which injectable or longer-lasting option may best fit your preferences.
