Have you always dreamed of fuller, more sumptuous lips? Now, you can achieve the plump pout you’ve always wanted. Lip injections enhance the volume of the lips, giving you a fuller, plumper look and reducing the appearance of lip wrinkles.

ARE LIP INJECTIONS RIGHT FOR ME?

If you wish that your lips were larger or fuller, lip injections may be right for you. This treatment is available to most adults who are in good overall health, though people with certain health conditions affecting the lip area, such as oral herpes, should avoid receiving these injections. It is also important to acknowledge that lip injections are designed to have a subtle effect on your lip volume; this treatment is not suitable for people looking to dramatically change their facial appearance.

HOW MUCH DOES LIP AUGMENTATION COST?

Lip augmentation prices vary depending on the injectable material used. There are several types of dermal fillers that can be used for lip enhancement purposes. These costs are usually about $600 per treatment session in the Weston and Pembroke Pines area.

HOW DO LIP INJECTIONS WORK?

Lip injections are performed with injections of dermal filler products such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse. Once injected into the lips, these materials themselves add volume, plumping the lips. Some formulations attract water molecules to the skin, further increasing lip volume. Others promote the body’s production of collagen, a structural element found naturally in the skin, enhancing lip plumpness.

HOW INVOLVED IS THE LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE?

Lip augmentation is a minimally-invasive treatment that takes less than an hour in the doctor’s office. No incisions or anesthesia are needed. The dermal filler solution is injected through a thin needle into several points along the lips. After the injections are administered, patients can leave the office immediately.

HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY AFTER LIP INJECTIONS?

Following lip injections, most Weston and Pembroke Pines area patients can return to work immediately. There is no required healing process, and no bandages must be worn. Minor side effects such as swelling or bruising may appear for one to two days. During this time, avoid touching your lips. Many patients notice immediate results following lip injections; with some types of dermal fillers, additional effects will become noticeable over the coming weeks.
