Are you unhappy with your lips’ size, shape, or volume? Lip augmentation can help you love your lips. Leading Austin board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Andrew Trussler understands that every patient has a unique vision and goals for their lip enhancement procedure.
That’s why we offer various lip augmentation options that Dr. Trussler customizes for each person. Known for his empathetic, calming, and caring approach, Dr. Trussler helps you enhance your natural beauty while achieving the lip contours you want. Read on to learn all about lip augmentation.
What Can Lip Augmentation Change?
Lip augmentation is highly customizable to suit your individual needs. Whether you’re looking to smooth vertical lip lines, create better symmetry, or achieve fuller, more kissable lips, Dr. Trussler has the expertise to help. Some common features addressed through lip augmentation include:
- Cupid’s Bow: The middle part of your upper lip can be defined for a more striking appearance.
- Center Fullness: If your lips are thinner than you’d prefer, Dr. Trussler can add volume to the center of the lips and taper the volume toward the corners for a balanced and natural look.
- Profile Projection: When viewed from the side, the upper lip should project slightly more than the lower lip. Lip augmentation can help you achieve this ideal profile appearance.
- Side-to-Side Symmetry: Lip augmentation can balance the appearance of uneven lips.
- Elongated Upper Lip: If your upper lip is longer than you’d like (this commonly happens with age), lip augmentation can shorten the lip, adding a bit of volume, too.
If you don’t like any aspect of your lips’ appearance, Dr. Trussler can discuss your concerns and recommend a lip augmentation option that can help. Check out our lip enhancement gallery for inspiration.
Lip Augmentation Options
There are non-surgical and surgical approaches to lip augmentation, including:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Juvederm®(Dr. Trussler’s preferred filler) or similar hyaluronic acid fillers can immediately increase volume and definition without downtime.
- Fat Grafting: Fat from another part of your body can enhance your lips naturally. Fat grafting is usually part of another procedure, like liposuction.
- Collagen Implants: Dr. Trussler can take collagen-rich tissue from your body, like the Palmaris tendon in your wrist, and place it within your lips to create a long-lasting boost in lip volume.
- SMAS Implants: SMAS implants come from the superficial musculoaponeurotic system tissue layer within your face. Dr. Trussler can remove some of this tissue during a facelift and use it to enhance your lips.
- Lip Lift: A lip lift involves removing a small strip of skin beneath the nose and elevating and reshaping the upper lip.
Dr. Trussler can also combine approaches to optimize your results. It’s all about your individual goals and wishes!
