Achieving plump, well-defined lips has become a coveted beauty trend, with many individuals seeking to enhance their lips for a fuller, more youthful appearance. While cosmetic injections like fillers offer temporary solutions, lip augmentation and lift surgery provide more permanent results for those looking to achieve their best lips. Here are a few ways lip augmentation and lift surgery can help you achieve your desired lip shape and volume.
Lip Augmentation Surgery
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase lip volume and improve lip contouring. It involves the use of fat grafting, which removes fat from another area of the body to inject into the lips. Fat can be strategically injected into specific areas of the lips to address volume loss, asymmetry, or thinning lips, resulting in a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing lip shape. Other benefits of lip augmentation include:
Defined Lip Borders
In addition to adding volume, lip augmentation can also help define the borders of the lips, enhancing their shape and symmetry. By carefully injecting fat grafts along the vermilion border (the line between the red part of the lips and the surrounding skin), cosmetic surgeons can create a more defined and attractive lip contour, accentuating the natural beauty of the lips.
Natural-Looking Results
Modern lip augmentation techniques prioritize natural-looking results, avoiding the overfilled or “duck lips” appearance associated with outdated methods. Vantage Plastic Surgery uses precise lip augmentation techniques to achieve subtle yet noticeable enhancements that complement the patient’s facial features and overall aesthetic.
Customized Treatment Plans
One of the advantages of lip augmentation is its versatility, allowing for customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique lip anatomy and aesthetic goals. During the consultation process, the Vantage Plastic Surgery staff will assess the patient’s lip structure, discuss their desired outcomes and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.
Lip Lift Surgery
Lip lift surgery, also known as lip advancement surgery, offers permanent results for individuals seeking long-lasting improvements in lip shape and volume. As we age, the upper lip may elongate and lose its natural fullness, resulting in a less youthful appearance. Lip lift surgery addresses these signs of aging by shortening the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip (known as the philtrum), lifting the upper lip, and restoring its youthful curvature and volume.
Improved Lip Proportion
Lip lift surgery can also improve lip proportion and balance by enhancing the relationship between the upper and lower lips. By elevating the upper lip and creating a more defined cupid’s bow, lip lift surgery creates a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing lip shape that complements the overall facial features.
Combining Augmentation and Lip Lift Surgery
For those who want to shorten the upper lip and achieve fuller lips, lip fat grafting and lift surgery can be combined. Both procedures can be completed at the same time, providing youthful, full lips with permanent results.
