LIP ENHANCEMENT
Many of us want fuller, larger lips - or perhaps a
smaller area between the base of the nose and upper lip
(lip lift). As we age our lips seem as though they
"deflate" or even thin out. The upper lip is more prone
to the signs of aging, such as "dropping" or thinning so
some patients may simply need upper lip rejuvenation.
Perhaps with fat grafting (the technique we are using)
implants, a lip lift or even resurfacing of the skin
above the lip. Please research each available product or
technique fully before committing to one. You will find
that there are always pros and cons for each but by
researching you can make an informed decision.
Indications for Lip Enhancement
For persons with small, deflated lips, asymmetry,
reconstructive needs, "dropping" or "sagging" upper lip,
lack of color, wrinkling from smoking or aging and other
complaints.
Contraindications

be good candidate for lip enhancement.

may increase your chances of keloid-like scarring.
