WHAT IS LIP AUGMENTATION?

Full, luscious lips are the hallmark of a youthful smile. However, lip volume depletion is a natural part of the aging process as the body’s natural reserves of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid begin to diminish.  When aging leads to a decline in lip volume, a lip augmentation procedure in NYC with Dr. White can help restore beauty and confidence, enhancing your lips' shape, size, and symmetry. 

At Dr. White’s practice, we offer the following options for lip augmentation:

  • Dermal Fillers: This noninvasive treatment uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm or Restylane to provide instant volume and shape to your lips. The results are temporary but can last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product and individual factors.  
  • Fat Transfer: Dr. White can perform fat transfer lip augmentation for a more permanent solution. In this procedure, fat is harvested from another area of your body, purified, and injected into your lips to create fullness with a natural feel.
  • Lip Implants: Lip implants are a surgical option for those seeking a long-lasting result. Dr. White uses advanced techniques to carefully place silicone implants that enhance the lips while maintaining a natural appearance.

THE LIP AUGMENTATION PROCESS

Your lip augmentation journey with Dr. White begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, Dr. White will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend the most suitable procedure based on your needs. Here’s what you can expect based on which augmentation method you choose:

LIP FILLERS

Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are meticulously designed to achieve subtle, natural-looking results. These products are made with a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, a crucial substance that contributes to the skin's moisture, elasticity, and radiance. The procedure is nearly painless, as most lip fillers include lidocaine, a topical anesthetic. Treatment sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, and patients can expect their results to last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on the specific filler used.

FAT TRANSFER

In this method, Dr. White utilizes a cannula to harvest fat cells from areas with excess fat, such as the abdomen, hips, or flanks. After the fat cells are sterilized and refined, he injects them into the lips to boost volume and enhance their natural beauty. With Dr. White's keen attention to detail and artistic approach, the results are subtle and refined. The procedure typically lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, and the effects can last for up to five years.

LIP IMPLANTS

For certain patients, lip implants offer a more durable and permanent option for enhancing thin or depleted lips. These implants are crafted from soft, flexible silicone and are placed through small incisions at the corners of the mouth. They are available in a diverse range of shapes and sizes to accommodate each individual's unique anatomy and desired outcomes.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Recovery times vary depending on the method used:

  • Dermal Fillers: Minimal downtime is required, with most patients resuming normal activities the same day. Mild swelling and bruising may occur but typically subside within a few days.  
  • Fat Transfer and Lip Implants: Swelling may last for a few weeks, and avoiding strenuous activities is recommended during the initial recovery period. Dr. White will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
