Treatment Options

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are the most commonly used products for lip augmentation. These fillers provide immediate results and are highly customizable, allowing precise control over the volume and shape of the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, which helps retain moisture and provide a soft, natural feel.

Fat Transfer

Fat transfer, or fat grafting, is another option for lip augmentation. This procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into the lips. While fat transfer can provide longer-lasting results, it is a more invasive procedure compared to dermal fillers.
