Lip enhancement is a customizable cosmetic treatment designed to improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. Most commonly performed with dermal fillers, this minimally invasive procedure adds volume, enhances definition, and restores youthful fullness.
For patients seeking more permanent changes, surgical lip enhancement options may also be considered. Every treatment is tailored to your facial proportions, ensuring your results complement your natural features.
Lip enhancement treatments are quick, precise, and performed in-office. For injectable treatments, a topical numbing agent is applied to ensure comfort. Dr. Compoginis then carefully places small amounts of filler into targeted areas of the lips to build volume, refine shape, and enhance symmetry.
The process typically takes under an hour, and results are visible immediately. Every injection is performed with a detailed, artistic approach, ensuring lips look soft, smooth, and naturally contoured.
For surgical options, treatment plans are discussed in depth and performed with advanced techniques to achieve longer-lasting results.
Common concerns addressed include:
Achieve fuller lips that still look soft, natural, and proportionate to your face.
Refine the cupid’s bow and lip borders for a more sculpted, youthful appearance.
