Enhance Your Lips Permanently
What Are Lip Implants?
If you struggle with thin or undefined lips that affect your facial balance, lip implants can provide a long-lasting solution for a fuller, more defined pout.
This procedure enhances your lips with soft, silicone implants designed to mimic the natural feel and shape of your lips. With a variety of implant sizes available, our skilled surgeons tailor the procedure to your unique facial features, ensuring a natural, harmonious result.
Lip implants not only add volume but also improve overall facial aesthetics, giving you a more youthful and attractive appearance. With minimal downtime and a comfortable experience, this procedure is a popular choice for those looking to enhance their features and boost their confidence. Silicone lip implants are a safe and effective option for permanent lip augmentation.
Minimally Invasive with Lasting Results
How Lip Implants Work
The lip implant procedure is relatively quick, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, and can be performed under either local or general anesthesia.
Most patients do well with local anesthesia, which numbs the lips while keeping them awake, minimizing risks and reducing costs. However, for those with severe anxiety or undergoing additional procedures like rhinoplasty or a facelift, general anesthesia may be a better option. During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your anesthesia preferences and determine the best approach for your comfort and safety.
The procedure begins with numbing injections similar to those used in dental procedures, ensuring that you feel no pain—only mild sensations of pressure or tugging. A small incision is made at the corners of the mouth, allowing for the insertion of the soft silicone implant, which is carefully positioned to maintain lip symmetry. The incisions are then closed with dissolvable stitches.
Natural-Looking Fullness That Lasts
Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for lip implants are individuals with naturally thin lips who are seeking a long-term solution for fuller, more defined lips.
Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results. Lip implants are especially beneficial for those who want to enhance their facial proportions, feminize their appearance, or achieve a consistently plump lip shape without the need for frequent touch-ups.
Aging can also cause lips to lose volume over time due to a reduction in fat and collagen, as well as the effects of gravity rolling the upper lip inward. In such cases, lip implants can restore lost volume and create a more youthful look. Additionally, those who are bothered by fine lines around the mouth, often referred to as “smoker’s lines,” may find that lip implants help smooth out these wrinkles by adding subtle support to the lip structure.
Permanent Fullness For Lasting Beauty
Why Choose Lip Implants?
Lip implants offer several advantages over temporary treatments like dermal fillers.
One of the most significant benefits is their permanence. Unlike injectable fillers, which require periodic touch-ups, lip implants provide a long-term solution for those who want consistent results without the need for maintenance appointments. This makes lip implants an appealing option for individuals who prefer a more permanent, hassle-free enhancement.
Additionally, lip implants can provide more predictable and consistent results. They are made from materials that integrate with the body’s tissue, making them a reliable choice for enhancing lip volume and symmetry. Dr. Ward’s artistry ensures that your lip implants will look natural and enhance your facial features, giving you fuller, more defined lips that complement your overall appearance.
