Benefits of Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation improves the appearance of small lips and treats fine lines around the mouth. It can also correct marionette lines at the corners of the mouth and enhance the “kissable” area of the lips for an overall rejuvenated look.
Candidates for a Lip Augmentation
Patients should be non-smokers, in good health, and not exhibit oral conditions such as dental abscesses or cold sores.
Lip Augmentation Procedure
Using a dental block or numbing cream to control discomfort, fillers are injected into specific areas of the lips while maintaining the natural lip lines and borders.
Lip Augmentation Recovery
Post-treatment bruising and swelling are common, but should resolve within a few days. Injectable fillers made with hyaluronic acid typically last six to 12 months.
Lip Augmentation in Oklahoma FAQs
How much do lip fillers cost in Oklahoma City?
The overall cost of lip fillers depends on several factors, including the amount of filler needed to volumize the lips and the type of product used to achieve the desired results. After a detailed consultation, Dr. Bajaj and our team will provide you with a personalized quote for lip fillers in Oklahoma City.
How long does lip augmentation last?
Depending on the type of lip filler used and your body’s response, your lip augmentation may last from six months to one year. To maintain your results, you can schedule follow-up treatments before the effects wear off. If you prefer to return to your natural lips, the filler will gradually dissolve on its own, or the process can be accelerated with a dissolving treatment. This makes lip augmentation a highly flexible procedure that can be customized to your preferences.
What is a Botox lip flip vs filler?
A Botox lip flip relaxes the muscles of your upper lip, causing them to spread and “flip” upward, which makes your vermilion, or pink portion of the lip, appear broader and fuller. Lip fillers, on the other hand, add volume to the lips through injections of hyaluronic acid, giving them a plumper appearance.
Depending on the current appearance of your lips and your aesthetic goals, you may choose a Botox lip flip, lip fillers, or both. After a personalized consultation, Dr. Bajaj and our team can help determine which option is best for you.
Are lip fillers worth it?
When administered by a qualified provider, lip fillers can give your lips noticeable volume and a beautifully enhanced pout. Each treatment typically lasts six months to a year, making it easy to maintain results with follow-up injections. The improved appearance, longevity, and confidence boost that lip fillers provide make them a popular choice for many patients.
What amount of lip filler looks natural?
The amount of lip filler that looks natural depends largely upon the original shape of your lips as well as your facial features. After a hands-on consultation, Dr. Bajaj and our team can recommend the amount of lip filler that can provide natural-looking but effective results for your lip augmentation.
Is lip filler more expensive than Botox?
Lip fillers are typically more expensive than Botox, but comparing the costs of these two completely different treatments is similar to comparing apples and oranges. While lip fillers plump up the appearance of your lips by adding physical volume, Botox causes the vermilion or pink pigment of your lips to flip upwards for a fuller look.
You can easily combine both treatments to augment your lips while also giving them a fuller appearance. This can also deliver more dramatic results for your lip augmentation. To help you understand the costs for individual and combination treatment options, Dr. Bajaj and our team provide you with a personalized quote after your consultation.
