Patients who are uncomfortable with the appearance of thin or aging lips can find relief with Dr. Robbins’ lip augmentation procedure. This surgery gives the patient’s lips a fuller, plumper appearance that look completely natural. The result is an increase in self-esteem and a younger, more beautiful look.
Mayo-Clinic trained, board-certified Nashville plastic surgeon Chad Robbins, M.D., F.A.C.S., can use varying techniques for the lip augmentation, depending on the patient’s wishes. A dermal filler is an injection that does not require anesthesia and is very simple. Dr. Robbins can also use a fat transfer technique, through a liposuction of fat from elsewhere in the body which will then be cleaned and injected into the lips. Implants are also available, requiring the use of tiny incisions.
The technique of your lip augmentation will dictate recovery time, which is designed to be as minimal as possible. Patients who undergo this procedure will experience tenderness and swelling from the surgery. See the before and after pictures below:
