Full, sensuous lips are much sought-after today, and not just by young people desiring the popular plump, pouty look. Older people, as they focus on rejuvenating their faces through facial sculpting, dermabrasion, chemical peel resurfacing or other treatments, often find they need to pay attention to their lips. Just like other facial features, our lips suffer the effects of the aging process. They appear thinner over time as they lose volume. And they can develop little lines and wrinkles of their own.

There are other reasons people seek lip augmentation. Some are born with extremely thin lips, others have a noticeable asymmetrical condition. No matter what’s motivating you to think about lip augmentation and what your desired outcome may be, there are a variety of treatments you can consider.                                

The professionals at Emerald Coast  Plastic Surgery are knowledgeable about the many options available to enhance the appearance of your lips. As you discuss your needs with one of them, you’ll find the choices range from injectable tissue fillers, such as Restylane®, or Perlene. Sometimes fatty tissue can also be transplanted from another part of your body to restore volume to the lips (fat grafting). Depending on the technique used the results may be permanent or last several months.
