Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation refers to any number of techniques used to add more fullness and volume to the lips. Most lip augmentation is done through non-invasive injections, and recovery time is very short. Patients can also expect diminished fine lines and wrinkles on and around the lips.

Dr. Obasi performs two types of lip augmentation procedures that are both comfortable outpatient visits:

Fat transfer

This minimally invasive procedure supplements your lips with fat taken from your own body, such as your abdomen and thighs. After the fat is removed via liposuction, it’s thinned and filtered to remove impurities, then injected into precise points on your lips to add fullness and shape.

Injectable dermal fillers

Dr. Obasi also uses these fillers to augment lips. When you opt for a filler procedure, it can be performed alone or in combination with a fat transfer. Fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) in a gel base. HA attracts its weight in water many times, so this procedure adds immediate volume, and your results continue to improve for several months.

A lip augmentation procedure is one of the safest cosmetic enhancements you can do to add a youthful glow to your face. Benefits include:

• Volume: Dr. Obasi skillfully manipulates the amount of filler or fat injected so you have natural, beautiful results.
• Gradual change: Injections can be scheduled over a period of time until you reach the desired level of augmentation.
• Low risk of side effects: In Dr. Obasi’s skilled hands, injectables are safe and have minimal side effects.
• Comfort: Fillers are infused with lidocaine, which will act as a numbing agent and painkiller.

Your lip augmentation results will last longer if you practice good skincare habits and oral health.
