Lip Augmentation

Plump, rosy lips are a sign of good health and youthfulness. In many cultures, they are also associated with femininity, sensuality and attractiveness. Thin lips can be a result of genetics or develop as a part of the aging process, since lip volume is often lost over time.

At East End Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Long Island, NY, Dr. Judy Emanuele offers a variety of lip augmentation treatments that will deliver a full and natural looking pout that gets noticed. Our lip enhancement techniques are safe and effective, with little to no downtime and beautiful results that are visible almost right away.

“Paris Lip” Enhancement – This lip augmentation procedure plumps and highlights the shape of the lips with hyaluronic dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM^® XC or Restylane^® all which possess natural components found in the skin. This technique defines the borders of the lips, especially the coveted “Cupid’s Bow,” and gives a natural pout without lipstick. Since the borders of the lips diminish over time, this technique has become the gold standard in lip enhancement for those looking to plump their lips and recapture lost lip volume. The Paris Lip look can be maintained with re-treatments every three to six months as part of your regular beauty routine.

Lip Injectables – JUVÉDERM^® XC and Restylane^® are smooth gel dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid, a natural component found in the skin, to add volume and plump the lips. Unlike the Paris Lip Enhancement technique, which concentrates on defining the borders of the lips, these fillers are injected directly into the red, fleshy part of the lips for a subtle yet all-over effect. These lip injectables can also be used to fill in smile lines and smoker’s lines that can develop around the mouth, allowing patients to achieve lip enhancement and wrinkle reduction in one treatment. Results last up to a year.
