What Are The Best Lip Augmentation Techniques?

Lip augmentation helps to produce a symmetrical, voluminous, and ideally shaped pout. With this procedure, lips that are flat, thin, uneven, or otherwise unattractive can be brought into perfect alignment with surrounding features, helping to create a more balanced and overall beautiful look.

For many years, lip implants were the only augmentation option. Made of soft silicone, lip implants are inserted through tiny incisions at the corner of the mouth where, once inserted, they will produce immediate results. However, implants can shift, may feel unnatural, and have the potential of being rejected by your body, making them less than ideal in many cases.

Dermal Fillers

Lip fillers offer an alternative to implants. With fillers, subtle volume can be added to specifically targeted areas of the lips, helping to produce full, symmetrical, and reliable results that can last for several months. Touch-up treatments, performed at regular intervals, will allow you to maintain your results as long as you would like, allowing lip augmentation with fillers to be the best fit for most of our patients.

At Beauty by Brueck, we offer lip fillers from Juvederm and Restylane. Time-tested, safe, and efficacious, these fillers can create natural-looking results with very little downtime – and continue producing results for six months or more. Results are typically visible immediately, though it may be a week or so before full results are realized. And if you are not thrilled with the outcome, both of these fillers are reversible. A simple enzyme can be used to dissolve the filler and restore your lips to their natural appearance.

Alone or in Combination

Lip augmentation can be performed on its own or combined with other procedures to create more profound results. During your initial consultation at our Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, or Fort Myers office, we will listen to your concerns and discuss all of your treatment options.
