The surgeon uses an advancement of the patients internal lip tissue to increase the volume of the lip. This procedure, also known as lip enhancement or lip enlargement, will improve your appearance by increasing their fullness through enlargement.
A fat transfer, or fat injections, involves moving fat from one region of the body and re-injecting or implanting it into another. This procedure can be done with a syringe, liposuction, or even surgically. The transferred fat can be used to enhance facial features, including the lips, repair and smooth aged hands, and more. Usually the fat is taken from the lower stomach, the inner thighs, or the inner knees. Initially the area may appear swollen but after some time the excess fat is reabsorbed and the body takes on its new improved shape. Fat injections generally have long lasting results.
As we age the upper lip turns in and becomes thinner hiding the upper teeth. Increasing lip volume (lip augmentation) may not be sufficient to correct this problem.
The surgeon can hide the incision in your nostrils while removing excess skin and muscle to turn the lip back out and shorten the upper lip. This can be done in conjunction with permanent lip augmentation and fat transfer treatment.
