Lip Enhancement Procedures in Utah
The Procedure
Those desiring a fuller lip line may opt for a lip enhancement procedure. Thin, narrow lips can become plumper and more noticeable after a lip enhancement procedure. Practitioners in the Chicago area offer a few different techniques to create desired lip volume.
Restylane Silk
Patients may opt for Restylane injections for lip enhancement. Restylane Silk, a gel product, is placed into the lip for added fullness and volume. Administered with an ultrafine needle, Restylane allows Dr. Kotis to accurately focus on select lip regions.
Fat Transfer
Fat tissue can be grafted from areas for lip enhancement. Tissue from more abundant areas like the stomach, thighs, or buttocks, can be transferred into the face for desired the desired effects.
Juvederm
Juvederm, as another injectable option, can also be used during lip enhancement. Patients can choose Juvederm for additional plumpness in the lip area. Like Restylane Silk, Juvederm contains HA, or hyaluronic acid. This ingredient promotes collagen production and volume once injected into the skin; patients may expect a fuller lip line after a session with Juvederm.
Belotero
Belotero is yet another injectable option for lip enhancement. For more mild to severe volume enhancement, Dr. Kotis may inject the gel into the lip regions. Belotero can be used for more noticeable lip desires.
Recovery
Recovery after lip enhancement will depend on treatment. Injectable lip enhancement can take a few days or weeks for swelling and redness to subside. Fat transfer may require more downtime as it is a surgical procedure. After patients have opted for their treatment, Dr. Kotis may then estimate a more accurate recovery period. After the body heals, patients may see and feel the lips they desire.
