Thin lips can be dramatically improved with non-surgical lip augmentation procedures. Using state of the art dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm, lips can be enhanced to appear youthful and plump. Results can vary, but reception is generally very positive.

Unlike artificial fillers, Restylane and Juvederm are derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring material in the body. Because of their hydrophilic nature, these dermal fillers attract water to the lip area and tend to prevent sagginess and the lumpy appearance of artificial products.

These dermal fillers are injected into the lip area during an outpatient visit to a trained and experienced professional. Typically, a dental block is used to numb the lips and surrounding area. If a patient declines a dental block, a topical numbing agent is used in conjunction with ice to cut down on post-procedure swelling.

With a highly trained professional at Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Center, Restylane or Juvederm are administered to the correct areas in the lips. It is also recommended to have injections around the lip area to support the lips as well, adding to the overall appearance of the lower third of the face. Results tend to last anywhere from three months to a year. Non-surgical lip augmentation can be a safe, effective way to improve the fullness of thin lips.
