options available, we are convinced you won't have trouble discovering a route that works
for you. Say goodbye to thin lips.
Lip Implants
Implants in the lips can provide an increase in the lip size with a synthetic material, but
the augmentation also can change the softness of the lip. Most surgeons use a silicone
implant like PermaLip® that make the lips feel more natural but with added volume, or
Advanta Lip that is firmer to the touch.
AlloDerm®
AlloDerm integrates with the natural tissues and fibers within the lips as tissues harvested
from cadavers are injected into small incisions in the lips to create a full, natural
appearance and feeling to the lips.
Fat Filler
After a patient has had fat removed through liposuction from one part of the body (such as
the abdomen, back, or thigh), the plastic surgeon can purify that fat and transfer it to the
lips.
Injectable Filler
Injectable fillers can provide patients with a temporary filling of the lips with collagen,
hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, etc. This is a nonsurgical option and if the
patient does not like the look of the enhancement, the fullness will fade after several
months.
