Many women want to increase the “kissability” of their lips before they pucker up under the mistletoe. The holiday season is the perfect time to treat yourself to this cosmetic treatment, and you can enjoy your results well into the New Year. Whether you have naturally thin lips or have lost lip volume with aging, Dr. Mune Gowda & Associates can deliver fuller lips quickly with lip enhancement in Novi and Troy, Michigan.
Dr. Gowda and his team offer several options for lip augmentation, including fat grafting, dermal-fat grafting, and injectables.
Lip Enhancement with Injectables
Restylane and Juvéderm are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that restore fullness to the skin and lips for natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar compound found in your tissues but diminishes with age, causing volume loss and wrinkles. Restylane and Juvéderm are FDA-approved to add fullness and lip definition for six months or longer. The quick, 15-minute procedure provides immediate results with no downtime or recovery necessary. Lip enhancement is a convenient non-surgical cosmetic treatment for the holiday season because you don’t need to miss work or skip social gatherings. Lip augmentation with injectables can be done over your lunch hour and comes with a much lower price tag than plastic surgery.
The Botox “lip flip” is growing in demand. The upper lip tends to lengthen and thin out with age, and this neuromodulator injectable can be used to relax the upper lip muscle. The tissues flip upward and give the appearance of larger, fuller lips. Botox results take several days to settle in as the muscle relaxes and elevates the lips; full outcomes are visible within two weeks.
These injectables offer fast treatments with quick results so you can arrive at your next holiday event with luscious lips. Dr. Gowda offers injectables that are safe for all skin tones, so any patient can try lip enhancement.
Lip Enhancement Surgery with Fat Grafting
Dr. Gowda offers lip enhancement surgery with fat grafting and dermal-fat grafting to achieve long-lasting results. Our board-certified plastic surgeon harvests fat from a donor location on your body, such as the abdomen, then processes the fat and re-injects the cells into your lips. While some fat may reabsorb into the body, the surviving fat cells are there for good, providing permanently fuller, softer lips that appear natural.
Dermal-fat grafting uses a skin segment to fill in a sunken area of the lips for stronger, more stable tissues. Dr. Gowda uses tissue from the dermis (deeper skin tissues) for the transfer to provide more comprehensive enhancement than traditional fat grafting.
