Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation can enhance and rejuvenate the lips. Dr. Dry uses the latest techniques with wrinkle fillers like Juvederm® to give our patients in Kirkland pouty, well-defined lips. The lip augmentation procedure is tailored to each patient’s needs. Aside from enhancement of the lip appearance, the treatment can correct imperfections such as:

• Marionette lines
• Vertical lip lines
• Wrinkles around the mouth

The aging process can leave some people with thinner, flatter lips. Although it is a completely natural occurrence, the appearance of lip lines and loss of shape may be accelerated by smoking habits.

Is Lip Augmentation Right for You?

If you believe that your lips are thinner than normal, lip augmentation may be a right for you. Notify Dr. Dry if you are prone to any type of skin eruption near the lips or inside the mouth.

How Lip Augmentation with Juvederm® Works

Juvederm® is a wrinkle filler made with hyaluronic acid, a natural component of human tissue. In recent years, plastic surgeons have successfully used Juvederm® for lip augmentation, making it the new filler of choice for this procedure.

Before injection, a medication (dental block or numbing cream) may be necessary to control discomfort. In order to enhance the lip shape, Dr. Dry can inject the wrinkle filler into areas that need increased volume. The treatment can address the upper lip, lower lip, Cupid’s bow and mouth corners. The proper technique preserves the natural appearance of your lips while enhancing their size and shape.

After Lip Augmentation in Kirkland

Some brief massaging of the area may be necessary to achieve a smooth result. It is common to experience some swelling and soreness in the lips. They may feel fuller than expected immediately after treatment. As the swelling subsides and you adjust to the results, you can assess and appreciate the outcome.
