Fat Lip Augmentation

With age, the fat in the lips and other areas of the face tends to decrease. Likewise, if you have ever been a smoker, you may have fine lines and wrinkles above the top lip that you could do without.

Lip Augmentation can reduce the lines and plump up the lips. In addition, other types of lip augmentation can also address lip asymmetry, lack of color and reconstructive needs. At Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery of Acadiana, Dr. Lupo can talk to you about your lips and the various treatments they offer to create natural-looking and longer-lasting results for women in Lafayette, Louisiana.

LIP ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS


​​​​​​​Fat Filler: Also known as fat grafting, fat deposits are collected from the patient’s own body through liposuction. The collected fat is purified and injected with tiny syringes into the lips. Dr. Lupo will take the extra measure of injecting the fat tissue, slowly layering the fat to reshape the lips to meet your aesthetic desires.

Injectable Filler: This is a popular nonsurgical way to enhance the lips. The fillers are made of either hyaluronic acid or collagen-based solutions, which are found naturally in the body. The results are realistic with a natural look and feel. Fillers produce beautiful results, however, they are considered short-term and reinjection is advised every 6-9 months. The treatment process takes one-half hour and results will be noticeable in as little as 2-3 days.
