How Does Lip Augmentation Work?

Full, voluptuous lips can give you a perfect pout and totally transform your look. Plus, lip augmentation is easier, quicker, and better than ever before. At DrYoungForever in San Antonio, TX, we specialize in this essential and beauty boosting treatment with a variety of different options to serve every need.

How Lip Augmentation Works

Using lip fillers or the body’s own fat stores, we plump and shape your lips. We work with both the upper and bottom lips to create your desired shape and volume during an easy, quick session in our comfortable offices. Before coming in, you’ll sit down with our team for a comprehensive consultation on all of your different options. We’ll discuss your goals and come up with a good strategy for care.

During this assessment, we’ll photograph your lips to better understand what our starting point is. Then, we’ll make suggestions about how you can achieve your results and present you with several different options for treatment. We’ll discuss whether it makes more sense for you to use one of our premium fillers or your tissue.

How Long Will My Appointment Take?

Since every patient in our offices receives personalized care, there is no “one size fits all” option. Generally, people who get fillers are in and out within about half an hour. If you are using your body’s tissue for the lip augmentation, it might take a bit longer. We’ll review what you can expect when you come in for your initial appointment.

How Long Will the Results Last?

Most people generally enjoy the results of their treatment for six months to a year. Sometimes the results last for a year and a half. If you have a higher metabolism, your fillers might need to be replenished sooner. We’ll be able to shed more light on your specific situation during our initial consultation and be sure to answer any questions all throughout the process.

We also offer permanent lip augmentation using implants. If you love the results of your fillers and want to make a change that will last forever, talk to us about this possibility.

Filler Options

Getting lip fillers is simple, and you don’t need to schedule any downtime afterward or take a lot of time out of your schedule. In fact, most people are able to get them done on their lunch break. One of the best things about fillers is that they make a substantial positive change to your appearance without a drastic time commitment or recovery time.

Restylane

Restylane Kysse is a special formula from the trusted Restylane line designed to give you natural, luscious lips. Not only will your lips look beautiful, but you’ll also enjoy a full range of movements.

Perlane

This popular filler is exceptionally good at plumping up and shaping your lips. With staying power and a flexible but powerful formula, you’ll look naturally wonderful after your session.

JUVEDERM

JUVEDERM®️ Ultra XC and JUVEDERM®️ VOLBELLA®️ XC are both gel-based fillers that can smooth out your lip wrinkles and plump your pout. If you want voluptuous, natural lips, they’re great options.

RevanesseVersa

This product is for shapely lips that look symmetrical and natural. It’s highly tested and has a huge following thanks to its longevity and ability to deliver truly impressive results.

Any one of these products can and will do wonders for your lips. If you’ve been craving a more beautiful smile and want to enhance your face with a youthful, lovely pout, talk to us about which option is right for you. Since we only use top-shelf, tested products, you’ll be in good hands with whichever one you choose.

Benefits

During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss what you can personally expect from your lip augmentation. We treat every client as an individual case, so you might get benefits above and beyond what the standard ones are for this treatment.

Symmetry, Volume, and Shape

This treatment can give you that coveted lip symmetry you want, plus enhance the shape and increase the volume of your lips. Since our lips are so prominent, most people find that better balance, shape, and volume enhances their features and makes their face look amazing.

Customized to a Tee

This is one treatment where the client has near complete control. We can customize your treatment to deliver precisely the results that you want. We’ll ask you a lot of questions during your initial consultation and provide you with plenty of different options so that you can choose which one or ones suit you best. Then we’ll work together to help your dream become a reality.

Long Lasting

You’ll enjoy your fillers for at least six months, but you might even have them for longer, depending on your metabolism and how well you care for your lips after the treatment. Since this treatment is minimally invasive, and you’re in and out of the office quickly, the longevity and outstanding results you get from it are more than worth it.

Smooth Results

You don’t have to wait very long, or even at all, to see smooth, natural results. These fillers are designed to go in smoothly and dissipate ideally through your lips to leave you with a lovely, luscious canvas that’s totally bump free. Nobody will ever know or need to know, that you’ve had some work done.

Safe Substances

The fillers we use are all approved and tested. Your body will almost certainly take to them immediately. This means that lip augmentation is safe for just about everyone. If you have any specific concerns, make sure you talk to our team in advance, and we will help you make an educated decision on your care.

With such a vast myriad of excellent benefits, full and natural results, and a minimally-invasive treatment session, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t consider having this treatment done today. It can genuinely and positively change you for the better.

Maintaining Your Results

While most people can expect to enjoy their results for at least six months, there are a few things that you can do to keep your full, gorgeous lips looking as perfect as possible. After your session, we’ll talk to you about specific things that you can do and answer any questions you may have. Additionally, you’ll want to adhere to the following guidelines to keep your lips beautiful as long as possible.

Stick to a Schedule

Once we have a chance to sit down and have a consultation with you, we can help you put together a treatment schedule. Sometimes people need to pop in for maintenance here and there. We’ll be sure to let you know what our thoughts are when you stop in. The important thing is to keep your scheduled appointments and see us as necessary to keep your lips looking amazing.

Hydrate

Hydrated lips are happy lips, so make sure that you keep your body full of healthy fluids right after your treatment. Not only is drinking a lot of water good after fillers, but it’s also an excellent practice to get into because it’s the ultimate beauty hack. Your lips will feel good, and your skin will look as luminous as ever if you get your water in.

Eating a balanced diet doesn’t hurt, either, and might actually be able to help your lip fillers stay potent for longer. Sugary or processed foods and caffeinated drinks can cause inflammation, which might hinder your fillers. Do your gorgeous lips and overall health a big favor, and strive to get your five fruits and vegetables in every day.

Protect Your Lips 

Your lips always need protection from the sun, but this mandate is even more important after you’ve had fillers or a lip treatment. Liberally putting SPF on your lips can help keep the fillers working their best and prevent your lips from getting too dehydrated. It’s a simple step that can make a world of difference right after your appointment.

Get a Voluptuous Pout Now

Plus, you can get it done quickly and choose from a variety of different methods and fillers right at our office.
