Lip augmentation is commonly performed on patients that wish to have a fuller upper and lower lip. Although various products can be used for lip augmentation, augmentation can be achieved successfully using hyaluronic acid products such at Restylane or Juvederm. They produce an incredible result that patients are extremely happy with, well tolerated and safe, and reversible. This is one patient that wished for fuller upper and lower lips. She was an excellent candidate for lip augmentation using Juvederm Ultra Plus to the uppper and lower lip.
Pre Procedure photograph showing thin upper lip. Patient was seeking lip augmentation.
She received one syringe treatment of Juvederm Ultra Plus to augment her upper and lower lips to create a better ratio between the two lips. She was very pleased with the results and tolerated the procedure well. Topical numbing cream was applied before the procedure and anesthesia was mixed within the filler product as well for pain control. Depending on the patient tolerance, I may or may not add a dental block as well to better control the discomfort that some may have.
