LIP AUGMENTATION

IN CHICAGO

          

Full lips are a key component in beauty. At Shifrin Plastic Surgery we strive to deliver the best lip augmentations Chicago has to offer. We notice full, youthful lips at the same time we notice the eyes. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with a pair of naturally beautiful lips. If you have them, the elements, smoking, and the aging process can erode their natural beauty. The corners of the mouth begin to droop. The middle area of the upper lip (Cupid’s Bow) begins to flatten out and lose its youthful fullness. Vertical wrinkles or Smoker’s Lines can surface.

Lip Rejuvenation Before & Afters

Cutting edge lip augmentation can take aging and thin lips and enhance them to a well defined, full, youthful appearance. Many options exist, each offering unique advantages.

Injectable Lip Augmentation

Filler injectibles such as Restylane and Juvederm are available for lip enhancement. Fillers are convenient in that they do not require tissue be taken from anywhere on your body. The fillers are temporary, lasting from 3 to 12 months. Following lip enhancement with one of the injectable products, your lips remain swollen for a few hours only. You may return to normal activities the same day. Touch-up treatments may be necessary.

Fat Grafting

Dermal Grafts

Using our own deep skin and fat as a lip filler is a tried and true method for adding pure volume to a thin older appearing lip. Dermal fat grafts are taken from areas of our body with excess skin, commonly from areas with pre-existent scars. The harvested graft is prepared and placed within the lip through a small hidden incision. Swelling and bruising are temporary and results are long lasting.
