Thin lips are a common cosmetic concern for individuals who desire a fuller pout. Oftentimes, patients wish to lift their upper lip to reduce signs of aging around the mouth and create a more volumized and contoured lip appearance. While surgical options are a valid approach for some patients, lip enhancement can also be achieved with the help of non-surgical injectable treatments, specifically dermal fillers.
Small amounts of an advanced dermal filler solution can be strategically injected into and around the lips for softer and fuller augmentation. Patients with a naturally thin upper lip and those who have lost volume over time can receive a plumper look in the lips, with fine lines and creases around the area also smoothed out.
The potential benefits of opting for non-surgical lip enhancement include:
- Minimal downtime – Most patients can return to their normal daily activities right away.
- Control over lip volume – The amount of volume added to your lip can be precisely controlled to create the best possible aesthetic outcome.
- Natural-looking results – Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid (described below) often create results that look and feel natural.
- Reversible – Non-surgical injectable treatments typically require follow-up appointments to maintain results, so if you no longer desire the look of fuller lips, you can allow the solution to dissolve naturally over time.
A variety of dermal fillers can create a more voluminous lip appearance, especially with the help of hyaluronic acid. Also referred to as HA, hyaluronic acid is a naturally produced substance in the body that can become depleted over time, resulting in lost volume, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. JUVÉDERM® products offer popular dermal filler options for lip augmentation, and the innovative Revance® RHA® Collection includes options that can be great for areas around the lips.
