Lip Augmentation New Jersey
Lip implant Augmentation is a simple procedure performed under local anesthesia in our surgical suite and takes approximately 30 minutes. A small incision is made at the ends of the implant site and a small tunnel or pocket (under the skin) is made between these incisions for placement of the implant. The implant is inserted through the incision and gently positioned in the implant site. The ends of the implant are cut and trimmed and placed under the skin away from the incisions. The incisions are closed with very fine sutures which are self dissolving within 3-5 days.

Patients are up and around immediately after receiving facial implants and although soft tissue and restoration is visible immediately, some swelling, bruising or discomfort may occur. Most patients can return to normal activities the next day. Most swelling, bruising and discomfort should disappear after the first week. Within 3 to 4 months after the implant procedure the healing and restoration is complete. If you have always wanted fuller and sensuous lips, this could be the perfect procedure for you.

Lip Enhancement

Lip Augmentation is also commonly carried out with filler substances for those patients who don’t desire a permanent implant. Common filler agents are autologous fat, collagen, and now restylane™. Many times, a combination of agents may be used, both minimizing the time required for the procedure, and increasing the amount of time the lips remain full.

These agents may also be used in the deep creases from the nose to the lips (the nasolabial folds), or the lines turning downward at the corners of the mouth, fine lines and wrinkles may also be improved with these agents.
