Lip Augmentation Houston | Lip Enhancement The Woodlands

Full, sensuous, pouty lips are recognized now more than ever as a key element to what we consider beautiful.

Our Houston lip augmentation procedure is the enhancement of your lips with dermal fillers or natural fat. Hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials are injected into the lips to revitalize their appearance and to add a boost of volume. These dermal fillers are long-lasting and produce beautiful, natural-looking results.

What is Lip Augmentation? How Does it Work?

Lip augmentation in The Woodlands involves the injection of a dermal filler or natural fat (harvested from your own body) into your lips. Dermal fillers are composed of substances that are biocompatible and some of which are found naturally-occurring in your own body, such as:

Hyaluronic acid: a sugar molecule that attracts and holds moisture
Poly-l-lactic acid: enhances your body’s ability to produce natural collagen

When fat is used and grafted to the lips, it is taken from another area of your body, purified, and then injected into your lips for natural-looking plumpness that lasts.

What is the average cost for lip enhancement?

Our Houston lip enhancement injections can cost an average of $400 to $1,000 per injection. The total cost depends on the number of injections needed for your lips during the treatment and the type of filler that you are using.

The price also changes if you have decided to go with longer-lasting fat grafting instead of dermal fillers. These injections can often last up to a year or longer, so this could be a good investment if you love the look and effect of the treatment.

Benefits of Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation creates those fuller, softer looking lips that you dream about. Some of the many benefits of lip augmentation include:

• Uses dermal fillers that are biocompatible or your natural fat
• The creation of long-lasting results
• Natural feel to the lips and added moisturizing effects, especially when using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
• Natural-looking fullness or plumpness depending on the volume that you desire
• Dermal fillers are absorbed by your body over time
• Enhanced collagen production in the lips
• Eases the appearance of perioral lines or lip lines

What is it Like After Treatment?

After treatment, you can expect to see the results immediately. There will be a subtle yet definite change to your lips, with a very natural, fuller look. The results should develop over the following few days as any post-treatment swelling subsides. There may be some redness, bleeding, swelling and bruising directly after treatment.

These issues can be managed by avoiding certain medications or supplements that can lead to bleeding and bruising, such as aspirin, vitamin E, or anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. You can use cold compresses to alleviate swelling but do not massage or touch your lips after treatment for a day or two. You will have to wait a few days before applying lipstick, lip gloss, or lip balm.
