Enhance shape. Restore volume. Define your smile.
Lip augmentation is a customizable, non-surgical procedure designed to enhance the natural beauty of your lips. Whether you want subtle definition, restored fullness lost with age, or a more pronounced pout, treatment can be tailored to your goals for results that look balanced and harmonious with your features.
Treatment Options
At our practice, lip augmentation is most commonly performed using hyaluronic acid (HA)–based fillers from the Allergan and Galderma product lines.
Benefits of Lip Augmentation
- Smooths fine lines around the mouth (“lipstick lines”)
- Adds volume and fullness
- Enhances definition of the vermilion border
- Improves lip symmetry
- Hydrates for a naturally supple feel
- Customizable from subtle to more dramatic results
What to Expect
Lip augmentation treatments are performed in the office and typically take less than 30 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort, and many fillers also contain lidocaine for additional numbing during the procedure.
You’ll see results immediately, though some mild swelling or tenderness is normal for a few days. Most patients return to work or social activities right away.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last 6–12 months, depending on the filler used and your body’s natural metabolism.

FAQ
Will my lips feel hard or lumpy?
When injected properly, HA fillers feel soft and natural. Small lumps, if present initially, usually smooth out within a few days.
Can I wear lipstick right after treatment?
Yes, but it’s best to wait a few hours and use gentle application to avoid irritating the skin.
What if I don’t like the results?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if desired, giving you peace of mind.
Can lip augmentation be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients combine lip augmentation with neuromodulators for a lip flip, or with fillers in surrounding areas for overall perioral rejuvenation.
