What is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation, or lip enhancement, has become a popular, non-surgical way to increase the fullness of your lips to dramatically improve the shape and definition without an operating room visit.

Procedures for lip augmentation are minimally invasive, relatively painless and can usually be completed in an office setting in less than an hour. Using any of the various injectable fillers available, natural looking lip fullness typically associated with youth is easy to achieve, and the results can be long lasting.

Is Lip Augmentation Right for Me?

Dermal fillers can easily add volume and definition to your lips and provide the change that enhances your natural beauty and provides a boost in self-esteem.

Today’s injectables, such as Restylane® (LINK) and Juvederm® (LINK), are clear gels that are injected into the lips after injecting a mild anesthetic to minimize discomfort. You may experience minor swelling or redness for a few days. The fillers are relatively long lasting – typically five to six months.

Maintaining the look you’ve achieved is simply a matter of returning to Dr. Bounds periodically for repeated injections.

How Much Does a Lip Augmentation Cost in Virginia Beach?

The price of your lip augmentation will vary based on the treatment plan determined at your initial consultation and which fillers you are being administered. On all procedures, we are proud to offer CareCredit® and ALPHAEON financing to our clients whom wish to use convenient monthly plans. For more information, visit our financing page.

Why Do I Have Thin Lips?

Lip Augmentation In Virginia Beach, VAIf you have had thin lips throughout your life, their size is most likely due to genetics. However, you may also find that your lips look smaller as they get older. This is a common occurrence because your body gradually produces less collagen, a protein that provides volume to your skin. Additionally, your facial muscles can lose strength, causing your lips to further curl inward. Lip augmentation is a good way to restore fullness to the lips.

Choosing the Right Type of Filler for Your Lips

Restylane Kysse is a product that augments the lips with a focus on maintaining the natural lip tissue movement of the lips. Results last about one year.

Lip Augmentation Recovery and Results

Lip Augmentation ResultsThere is no substantial downtime associated with lip injections, meaning that you can resume your normal activity and schedule as soon as you leave our office.

Results for lip augmentation can be seen instantaneously. Because injections can stimulate new collagen, results may improve in the following weeks as collagen production increases. Results typically last between six and 18 months. Injections can be repeated periodically to maintain the results over the long term.

How Natural Does Lip Augmentation Look?

While some patients prefer oversized and pouty lips, others want a more subtle augmentation that looks proportional to their face. Dr. Bounds and his team can fulfill either goal by customizing the procedure. The main factor is how much filler is used. Dr. Bounds is very experienced in using the right amount to get results that will make you happy.
