Immediate gratification through injection is all the rage. Fill those lips instantly and create a customized look, too. Filler agents can be used to accomplish several goals. First it helps provide volume to the lips. A heavy-handed approach leaving you looking like a goldfish is not necessary. Restoration to a natural, youthful look is.
As we age, gravity takes its toll and the corners of the mouth begin to sag and turn downward. This often leads to a persistent dour expression. Filler agents can help turn the corners up, creating a happy expression to the mouth. Now I said happy, not "the Joker". Subtle artistry is the sign of an excellent cosmetic dermatologist.
Lipstick lines are easily eliminated when your dermatologist outline the edge of the lips with filler. This accentuation may be as subtle or exaggerated as you like. This helps restore definition to your lips (often lost with the flattening of the lips) as well as can help fill those vertical lipstick lines. Deeper grooves may require additional "spot" treatment with the injectable filler.
If you want lips that rival those your favorite celebrity, you may be can range anywhere from $700-1050 for a full lip augmentation. Costs are typically done on a per syringe basis (typically $350-$500 each). Regardless of which filler you choose, it's realistic to expect your lip augmentation to last approximately 3-4 months.
Maximizing Your Experience
Let's be honest. Lip augmentation can hurt. Little steps to maximize comfort during a filler session can help the patient feel more relaxed and comfortable during the procedure.
Typically, I apply a 4 or 5% lidocaine product to the skin, such as BetaCaine or LMX, and allow the skin to numb prior to beginning the procedure. The additional application of prescription Xylocaine Viscous to the upper gums also helps blunt discomfort when filling these areas.
And for a full lip augmentation, the added measure of a painlessly performed dental block can make all the difference to the patient, regardless of filler being used.
Anytime the skin becomes distended from the introduction of a filler, there may be some skin discomfort or tenderness and perhaps minor bruising. Avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours post-injection.
The use of aspirin and NSAIDS (like Advil or Motrin) should be avoided as it may increase possible bleeding. Ask your physician if Tylenol would be appropriate.
Patients who've undergone lip augmentation may find their lips look extremely puffy for up to 48 hours post injection. Don't plan on having a lip augmentation and showing up to a fancy function that night. Always undergo this procedure in advance!
