Lip Injections for Natural, Fuller Results

Over recent years, lip fillers have been getting much attention, from various celebrity appraisals to numerous blog posts and videos on social media. This comes as no surprise – men and women everywhere are dissatisfied with having thin looking lips, and are left wondering why their lips lack volume and definition.

As our bodies grow, we tend to produce less collagen which in turn causes our lips to look less plump and full. Additionally, the skin around our lips and cheeks can become wrinkled. Administered by our specialized dermatologists, lip fillers can help you achieve the cosmetic results you’re looking for.

Our highly experienced aestheticians & dermatologists have been performing lip augmentation safely and successfully to produce natural results for years. As is the case with most cosmetic procedures, lip injections especially require a high degree of precision.

This is to minimize pain, blood, and swelling. Moreover, our New York dermatologists abide by the “less is more” principle when it comes to lip injections. This is to ensure a natural appearance, rather than that overdone, ducky-lip deformity resulting from too much lip filler.

The goal with lip augmentation is to add hydration to the lips, giving them a poutier appearance with less lines. Sometimes, minor adjustments are done such as slight elongation in order to accentuate lipstick. In the case of disproportional lips, either top lip augmentation or bottom lip augmentation is done in order to balance out the lips. Every which way, our specialized dermatologists focus on enhancing the lips based on their natural shape, ensuring they will match the face perfectly. This ensures that you will have a natural looking result from the fillers.

The Types of Lip Fillers We Use

• Juvederm Volbella: Juvederm lip injections are our top pick because they result in plumper, natural looking, softer lips. Volbella adds reasonable volume, and smooths out vertical lip lines. It is considered a revolutionary filler for its long duration, short downtime, and minimal bruising. In contrast with other lip fillers, Volbella can last up to 12 months, and swelling usually resides in 1-2 days. Created by the same company that made Botox, Juvederm is the top selling collection of hyaluronic acid fillers in the US. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It supplies the skin, eyes, and joints with nutrients, and also aids in keeping them moisturized, voluminous, and soft. Juvederm lip fillers also contain lidocaine, a pain reliever.
• Restylane Silk: Restylane Silk is another great option for lip fillers. Up until Juvederm Volbella, Restylane Silk is what many dermatologists relied on for delivering very natural looking lip enhancement. Restylane lip injections are very effective for smoothing wrinkles around the lips, improving lip definition, and adding plumpness. It is widely used throughout most NYC dermatology clinics. A dermatologist will decide what is best for you. Generally, the results last around 6-12 months. It is also made with hyaluronic acid and supplemented with lidocaine.
