Lip Augmentation

As we age, our lips lose collagen and fat just like the rest of our skin, and environmental factors such as sun exposure, repeated sipping, pursing and smoking make matters worse. A smoother set of lips is within your reach and a plump pout isn’t far behind thanks to doctor-performed procedures.

Lip Augmentation Surgery

As some women age, they may find their top lip grows longer and thinner than the bottom, resulting in a bothersome and unattractive overhang. These patients can benefit from a nostril sill excision procedure, which actually raises the thin top lip by removing skin under the nose and exposing more of the lip’s pink vermillion. Expect swelling and about 10 days of downtime. Though there’s a risk of scarring, results are excellent for appropriate patients. Injectables

Injectables are a great way to achieve more lush-looking lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Hylaform and Restylane boost youthful volume with the main side effect being swelling. Injecting fat taken from the patient’s own abdomen or hips not only enhances the lips, but corrects asymmetry as well without the risk of an allergic reaction.

Doctors have come to rely on the collagen-based injectable CosmoDerm for restoring the lip border on patients who have lost definition due to age and environmental factors. CosmoDerm’s biggest upside is the fact that no skin test is required before use, so you can go into the doctor’s office and come out with younger-looking lips in just one visit.
