Women who wish to have plump lips to frame their beautiful smile may consider lip augmentation. This is accomplished with the use of injectable filler inside the lips to add volume and shape. In our Sarasota Plastic Surgery, our skilled cosmetic surgeons recommend fillers such as Restylane® and Juvederm®, which are great options for the lips and can last up to a full year. A fat transfer, which uses fat from the patient’s own body to fill in the lips, can also be used. All of these lip augmentation methods offer nice results and can be discussed in detail during the initial consultation.

What is Lip Augmentation?
Injectable Filler
Injectable lip filler is a popular way to enhance the lips in a nonsurgical manner. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a common option for the lip filler procedure since they have a soft, flexible formula and hydrate the lips. However, collagen-stimulation fillers can be considered for patients who want more dramatic results. Both types of fillers are made from substances that are found naturally within the body so you can expect natural-looking results. Lip fillers produce beautiful results, however, they are considered short-term and re-injection is advised every 6-9 months.
Fat Filler
Also known as fat transfer or fat grafting, this procedure uses fat deposits that are harvested from the patient’s own body using liposuction. These collected fats are purified and transferred with tiny syringes into the lips. The doctor will take the extra measure of reinstating the fat tissues, slowly layering the filler to reshape the lips to meet the patient’s aesthetic desires.
Lip Lift
A lip lift or surgical lip augmentation can be performed in two ways. One lifts the corners (oral commissures) of the mouth when they appear downturned; our doctors refer to this as “lip darts.” This is performed by placing two small incisions at the corner of the mouth. The other procedure lifts and reduces a long upper lip while increasing its volume. This incision is placed just under the nose. Neither of these procedures reduces wrinkles around the mouth. Those wrinkles are either reduced with fat, dermal fillers such as Restylane Silk, or laser treatment.

Recovery from Lip Augmentation Treatment
After the procedure, the lips will be swollen and there may be bruising present. This will go away after a few days and the patient will instantly see the results of the treatment. Surgery may require 1-2 weeks of downtime so that the lips can fully heal. It may take a few more weeks for the best results to show.
What is the Lip Augmentation Procedure Like
The technique employed for lip augmentation depends on the method used. Lip injections with fillers or fat do not require incisions. The substance will be injected using a small, fine needle directly into the lips. During this process, our team shapes the filler by applying pressure to the lips where it is needed. Injectable fillers require no anesthesia; however, a local numbing medication is usually used.
Candidates for Lip Augmentation
Ideal candidates are healthy individuals looking to enhance lip volume, shape, or symmetry. Patients may be seeking subtle enhancement, correction of age-related volume loss, or improvement of structural concerns such as downturned corners. During your consultation, the Sarasota Plastic Surgery team will evaluate your lips, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment method.
