Lip Enhancement

Enhancing your appearance with lip enhancement

Over time the sun, the elements, smoking and the aging process take their toll. The corners of the mouth begin to droop. The V-shaped area of the upper lip known as Cupid's Bow begins to flatten out and lose its youthful fullness. Vertical wrinkles or Smoker's Lines begin to appear, causing your lipstick to bleed. That once sensual look is gone or greatly diminished.

Thanks to today's many medical advances there is help. Aging lips can be rejuvenated and less full lips can be enhanced.

Lip enhancement and rejuvenation are two of the most frequently requested cosmetic procedures. Your options range from the latest in laser treatments to natural injectable fillers or synthetic implants. All of these fillers are soft, pliable, and have a natural feel.

Injectable lip enhancement

Your injectable options include AlloDerm®, Autologen®, Dermalogen®, Fascian®, Fat Transfer and Zyderm® or Zyplast® collagen.

AlloDerm®, Autologen®, Dermalogen®, Fascian®, Zyderm® and Zyplast® injectable collagen are used to enhance the natural silhouette of the upper border of the upper lip and Cupid's Bow. They also fill in the vertical lines along the upper lip that often cause lipstick to "bleed" beyond the lip line.

Fat Transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation or micro-liposuction, plumps up your lips using fat taken from inconspicuous sites on your body. Fat transfer to the lips is a safe, natural, non-allergenic procedure designed to restore damaged or diminished dermal deficiencies.

Implant augmentation for lips

AlloDerm® is a dermal graft/implant that was initially used as a skin replacement for burn patients. Now surgeons worldwide recognize its benefits as a safe, natural implant to replace aged or inadequate lip tissue and rejuvenate the wrinkled or aged lip.

SoftForm® and soft "ePTFE"(expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) implants lead the way in synthetic options. SoftForm and soft "ePTFE" implants have proven to provide a safe, predictable, non-allergenic improvement for thin or aging lips.

Laser lip rejuvenation

The "Remington Lip" is an exciting procedure using a combination of laser treatments to rejuvenate the wrinkled or aged lip. During the healing process of this procedure, the collagen and elastic tissue beneath the skin will tighten and remodel, restoring the "V" to Cupid's Bow and providing a more healthy, youthful shape to your lips.
