As an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Swift will select the precise spots in which to inject the fillers in order to achieve the most natural results. The procedure may require multiple injections, so a numbing cream may be administered to help you relax and prevent any discomfort. The process of administering dermal fillers takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how many injections Dr. Swift prescribes. No downtime or recovery period is required following the dermal injection treatment.
Recovery from Lip Augmentation
Immediately following the lip augmentation or lip enhancement procedure, you will notice that your lips are fuller and more defined, but there may be some mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness, particularly around the injection sites, causing your lips to appear slightly fuller and bigger than you expected. The swelling will go down after about three days, and your lips will feel less swollen, soon returning to a more normal size.
Details of Lip Augmentation
Dr. Swift offers several dermal fillers to choose from for lip augmentation, and will explain how each product works to enhance your lips. The injectable dermal fillers used in the lip augmentation procedure contain hyaluronic acid, a non-toxic, natural substance that naturally binds to water, causing lips to remain more hydrated, while also adding volume and fullness to the lips and reducing lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
Benefits of Lip Augmentation
Thin lips and wrinkles around the mouth such as “smoker’s lines” create a visual distraction that draws attention away from your eyes and makes you look aged and stressed. Thin lips and wrinkles around the mouth can make an otherwise youthful face look more haggard and tired. Lip augmentation helps restore a more youthful appearance by providing the following benefits:
Is Lip Augmentation Right for Me?
Dr. Swift recommends lip augmentation for patients who are unhappy with the appearance of thin lips, vertical wrinkles around the lips, and a general lack of definition and fullness to the lips. Lip augmentation is recommended for improving the shape, size, volume, and firmness of the lips. Patients of all ages may be a candidate for lip augmentation, as even younger patients may desire fuller, more voluptuous lips, while mature patients may wish to minimize lines and wrinkles around the lips and increase definition and fullness. Lip augmentation may also be appropriate for improving the general balance of facial features in cases where the lips appear too small for the other features of the face. Dr. Swift may recommend lip augmentation for either the upper or lower lips, or both.
What to Expect During Your Lip Augmentation Consultation?
During your consultation with Dr. Swift, he will ask questions about what you are most unhappy with regarding your lips and what you would like to correct. He will then examine your facial features and ask about your medical history in order to recommend the most appropriate lip augmentation procedure for you.
