Are the results permanent?

The results will be dependent on both your specific body chemistry and the procedure you elected to have. If you chose a dermal injection, results can be expected to last 4-12 months and the procedure will need to be repeated to maintain optimal results. If you chose the fat transfer method the results can last for years. However, no cosmetic procedure can fully stop the aging process. The best way to slow the aging process is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, avoid too much sun exposure, don’t smoke, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.

What is lip enhancement recovery like?

Naveed — Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:08:11 +0000

Depending on which method you used, there is little to no recovery time with lip enhancement procedures. With a dermal injection, most patients can return to their normal activities within the same day. However, if you receive a fat transfer enhancement, you might require a few days of rest before returning to normal activities. This is because of the surgical component, and recovery is largely dependent on where the fat cells are grafted from.

Immediately following your procedure you’re lips will look slightly plumper then the actual result will be. Within a few days, your body will absorb a bit of the fat or filler injected and your actual results will be visible. It’s normal to feel tender in the area where you received the injection. Most patients report a feeling of tightness across their lips.

How does fat transfer lip augmentation work?

The fat transfer lip augmentation is done under general or local anesthesia. Dr. Larsen will remove a small amount of fat from another part of your body with minimally invasive liposuction treatment. Then those fat cells are then injected into the tissue of your lips until the desired fullness is achieved.

There are many benefits to this procedure, and the results can last for years. Most patients agree that their lips look and feel natural. The chance of an allergic reaction is almost non-existent. No incisions are needed in the lips. However this procedure does require a surgical component and although minimal, all surgeries have associated risks. Most patients experience little to no difficulty in the recovery from this procedure and can expect to return to work within a few days. Results will be visible right away but will be more accurate after a few weeks.

How does the dermal injection method work?

One of the master injections on our Lux Med Spa team will inject your lips with a filler like Juvéderm which offers a temporary lip enhancement at an affordable cost. Dermal fillers are known to produce extremely natural looking results. They can boost lip volume, enhance the shape and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The actual injections only takes 15-20 minutes.

There is little to no downtime after the procedure, and most patients can return to work the same day. Final results are visible within 2 weeks of the initial injection, and results can last between 4 and 12 months depending on your specific body chemistry and the amount of product used.

Side effects are rare and mild and include things like temporary bruising at the injection site. The biggest consideration for patients considering this procedure is ongoing maintenance. Because the results are temporary, additional treatments will need to be scheduled to maintain the results.
