Lip Enhancement

General Information: Lip enhancement is a procedure to enlarge and enhance the appearance of the lips. It is actually several different procedures each of which is designed for the individual needs of the patient. Some patients need more fullness that can be provided by their own fat or collagen. Others would benefit from lengthening the vermilion. Whatever the needs the best procedure for each patient will be discussed at their consultation and the risks defined.

Length of Surgery: 1 Hour

Location: Accredited Surgery Center or Hospital

Anesthesia: General or local with sedation

Recovery Time: The patient can usually return to work in 5 days to 1 week depending on the individual. Exercise and strenuous activity may be done at 3 to 4 weeks following surgery.

Post Operative Results: Each patient heals differently; however following the surgery patients may experience temporary pain, swelling, possible bruising, soreness and fatigue. The incisions are usually hidden in the corners of the mouth. It has been our experience that patients are very happy with their post op results and their new look.

Helpful Hints: Be in good mental and physical health. Do Not Smoke. Help improve healing by taking pre and postoperative vitamins. Improve the appearance of small scars with topical gel.
