Lip augmentation procedures add volume, shape, and structure to the lips, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. These treatments can address many concerns, from naturally thin lips to volume loss due to aging. Dr. Weishar employs the latest advancements in dermal fillers and fat grafting techniques to achieve the best lip enhancement results, tailored to the specific goals of her patients.
The desire for lip augmentation often stems from natural factors such as genetics, which can result in thinner lips or an uneven lip shape. Aging also plays a significant role, as lips lose volume and definition over time. Environmental factors, including sun exposure and smoking, can accelerate these changes by breaking down collagen and elastin faster. Additionally, some individuals may experience changes in lip volume due to medical conditions or medications. Understanding these factors is crucial in determining the most effective treatment plan for each patient.
Patients seeking lip enhancement typically present with a desire to address aesthetic concerns such as thin lips, lack of definition, asymmetry, or age-related volume loss. During the consultation, Dr. Weishar conducts a thorough assessment of the lip structure, skin quality, and overall facial balance. This comprehensive approach helps in identifying specific aesthetic concerns and planning the appropriate treatment strategy.

Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, offer temporary results that typically last from 6 to 18 months, depending on the individual’s metabolism, the specific filler used, and how their body reacts to it. Fat grafting or fat transfer can provide more permanent results, as the fat that successfully integrates with the lip tissue doesn’t degrade over time. However, not all the transferred fat survives the process, and some volume loss can occur, which might necessitate touch-up treatments.
When performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Weishar, lip enhancement procedures are generally safe. Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and have a good safety profile. Fat grafting, while more invasive, is also considered safe when conducted by a skilled professional. It’s crucial to discuss any allergies or medical conditions with your dermatologist during the consultation to mitigate risks.
Lip augmentation procedures can cause discomfort, but pain levels are typically minimal to moderate and manageable. Most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to reduce pain during the injection. Additionally, topical numbing creams can be applied to the area before treatment to minimize discomfort. Fat grafting procedures involve anesthesia, which means there’s little to no pain during the procedure, though there may be some discomfort during recovery.
The cost of lip enhancement varies widely depending on the type of procedure chosen, the geographic location of the clinic, the expertise of the dermatologist, and the amount of product or extent of the procedure required. It’s best to consult directly with our office for the most accurate and personalized pricing information.
