Lip Augmentation - Structural Restoration & Natural Volume
Lip augmentation restores youthful volume, shape, and function using modern, reversible techniques. At Legacy Dermatology, we prioritize facial harmony with FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers, precision cannula techniques, and individualized planning. We correct age-related thinning, congenital thinness, asymmetry, and perioral rhytides while preserving natural movement. Treatment starts with comprehensive facial analysis and goal setting, followed by targeted anesthesia and slow, layered placement to reduce bruising and lumps.
Immediate results appear with mild, predictable swelling. Our conservative, proportion-driven approach allows incremental enhancement over time and integrates adjunctive options, fat grafting, collagen stimulation, or neuromodulators, when structural support requires multimodal correction. Expect personalized aftercare, measurable outcomes, and stepwise refinement to optimize aesthetic longevity for patients.
Benefits
1. Clinical Advantages & Patient Benefits
Precision Injection Technique, Microcannula and microbolus injections minimize trauma, reduce bruising, optimize filler placement, and provide smooth, predictable, anatomically accurate lip contour outcomes.
2. Hyaluronic Acid Science
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid attracts hydration, restores volume, integrates with tissue, and can be reversed with hyaluronidase for safety and control.
3. Customized Aesthetic Planning
Individual facial analysis, proportion-focused mapping, and conservative layering create bespoke lip shape, symmetry, and balance tailored to patient anatomy preferences.
4. Recovery and Longevity
Mild swelling and temporary bruising expected; fillers last six to eighteen months depending on product, metabolism, and maintenance regimen frequency.
Treatment Process & What Patients Can Expect
Consultation includes medical review, photography, and dynamic smile analysis. Treatments are brief, about thirty minutes, performed under topical or regional anesthesia. Post-injection molding, immediate assessment, and scheduled touch-ups ensure symmetry. Follow-up monitoring reduces complications and refines aesthetic outcomes over time.
Aftercare includes ice application, limited exertion, and temporary activity restrictions. Avoid blood-thinning medications when possible. Most swelling resolves within seventy-two hours; subtle contour refinements occur over two weeks. Report persistent pain, blanching, or visual changes immediately for urgent evaluation and possible hyaluronidase reversal and care.
