Dermal Fillers and Lip Augmentation
There are several brands of dermal fillers used for lip augmentation. Each brand has a different formulation offering slight nuances to the expected results. The variety of dermal fillers allows our Virginia Beach doctors to tailor lip augmentation for each individual.
Juvéderm
Juvéderm has a smooth gel-like consistency and uses hyaluronic acid-base for their brand of dermal fillers. Several products in the Juvéderm line are designed to enhance lips and provide a natural, fuller look. Each formula features different consistencies and concentrations of hyaluronic acid, with a couple explicitly designed for lip augmentation and for smoothing vertical lines around the lips. People interested in Juvéderm can meet with our team at Galardi | Bowen Plastic Surgery for more information.
Restylane
Like Juvéderm, Restylane is an acid-based dermal filler with multiple formulations. Restylane Silk was the first FDA-approved lip filler that also smooths lines around the mouth. Restylane boasts a silky texture that yields a smooth and natural result whether clients want larger pouty lips or just a slight augmentation.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is an alternative to artificial fillers where our patients use their own fatty tissue to augment their lips. Like lip fillers, physicians usually do the procedure in the office, but unlike fillers, the process requires harvesting the client’s fat, which makes this method a little more involved.
How Long Does Lip Augmentation Last?
The duration of lip augmentation depends on the product used. Different formulations provide slightly different results. Fat transfer is the longest-lasting injectable, offering satisfactory results for five years or more. Dermal fillers usually last up to 12 months, with Restylane lasting six to ten months and Juvéderm lasting slightly longer. Our team can explain how long your lip augmentation will likely last during a consultation at our Virginia Beach office.
