If you wish to augment and add some volume to your lips, dermal fillers would be an alternative to surgical lip augmentation. They are far less invasive than surgery to enlarge the size of the lips.

Quicker recovery with no downtime has made fillers even more popular these days.

The aging process takes its toll on skin elasticity and collagen production. Therefore, the skin becomes thin and saggy along with lips. Fillers temporarily replace collagen or fat loss due to aging.

Before you get fillers to the lip, make sure that you consult with the doctor about what kind of look you want to have.

The most important thing here is to stay realistic. Do not be shy to ask any questions related to the procedure before and after.

A type of filler is another important thing you should not gloss over. These days most doctors or dermatologists prefer using reversible fillers based on hyaluronic acid.

These fillers are common because they can be dissolved any time you wish.

At She’s Plastic Surgery, we use Americal fillers by Juviderm Voluma. When injected to lips, these fillers last on average for 1year six months, or two years.

You must keep in mind that we use our mouth or lips more often than other parts of the body when drinking or eating something.

Therefore, fillers might last less than the designated period.
