Lip Augmentation can create plumper, fuller lips or reduce fine lines around the mouth. There are many options for lip augmentation, and Dr. Diaz can recommend the one that best suits you.
- Laser Lip Rejuvenation: Laser treatments stimulate the growth of new collagen and remove layers of dead, old skin. This is effective for treating fine lines but not for plumping the lips. Laser Lip Rejuvenation takes a couple of days to recover from, but usually only one treatment is necessary.
- Fillers: These treatments have few side effects and generally no downtime, although the effects wear off with time.
Fat Transfer: Fat is harvested from other areas and injected into the lips.
Restylane®: Restylane® is a natural cosmetic dermal filler. It is made of hyaluronic acid, a compound which already exists in the body. Restylane has less chance of allergic reactions than animal-based treatments.
Juvederm®: This is a purified form of hyaluronic acid which mimics the effects of the hyaluronic acid occurring naturally in the body. it's has recently been proven to last up to one year.
Artecoll®: Made of tiny synthetic beads, this injectable lasts longer than other treatments. A skin test is required before treatment.
- Implants:
AlloDerm®: This human collagen is grafted into the lips. It contains regenerative cells that are absorbed into your tissue, and it lasts from six months to a year. Alloderm® provokes no allergic reactions.
SoftForm®: This synthetic implant is designed to promote growth of the tissues into the implant, providing stability. The implant is permanent but may be removed if necessary.
