Lip Augmentation & Lip Lift

Lip Augmentation

Adding volume to an individual’s lips may be addressed through a variety of lip augmentation techniques. The simplest technique for lip augmentation is injection with natural and synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid. These can be done in the office usually under local anaesthesia.

Surgical methods of lip augmentation offer yet another alternative. Fat injections and dermal (deep layer skin) fat grafts are taken from your own body and transplanted to your lips.

Lip Lift

Loss of upper jawbone as well as development of thinness in tissue of the lip can make the lip appear longer. The upper teeth can become or remain hidden when a person smiles.

Lip Lift surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic or local anaesthetic with sedation, and usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. The procedure involves an incision under the nostril rims extending the outer wings of the nose. The surgery can be performed on its own or in combination with procedures such as a facelift.
