Lip Enhancement (Lip Augmentation)
Do you have fine wrinkles around your mouth? As you’ve aged, have you noticed that your lips have become thin and flat? Has your top lip, especially, lost volume? Would you like fuller, plumper lips? Lip enhancement can help! By using a variety of soft tissue fillers, your lips can be augmented, restoring what has been lost or enhancing the size and shape of your lips.
Full lips are often seen as a sign of health and youthfulness. Lip augmentation can restore fullness and allow you to have size and shape lips you desire. A variety of lip injections – including fat, collagen, Autologen, Gore-Tex, Alloderm and others – can be used to make your lips plumper.
If you are ready for lip augmentation, it’s time to talk with Robert Schmid, M.D. He will explain your cosmetic surgery options and diffuse any concerns you may have as he explains the procedure to you and answers your questions. He’ll take into account your lifestyle, goals and personal preferences in tandem with his sound, experienced surgical judgment when making recommendations to you. He will answer your questions and explain the entire process, working hard to diffuse any worries or concerns you may have.
