Non-surgical lip augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure to enhance the shape, volume, and definition of the lips without incisions, surgery, or downtime. Dr. Guida uses FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane, and Revanesse Versa+ to create fuller, plumper lips, providing natural-looking results that elevate your facial harmony.

Plump, well-defined lips have long been associated with youthfulness and attractiveness. Their shape and fullness can enhance facial balance and symmetry, making them a focal point of beauty.

Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation, Explained
Dermal fillers, typically composed of hyaluronic acid, offer a versatile solution for non-surgical lip augmentation. By injecting fillers into specific areas of the lips, we can create a more defined lip border, add volume to the upper and lower lips, and even correct asymmetry. The result is lips that appear fuller, smoother, and more youthful, enhancing your overall facial aesthetic. Whether seeking a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, non-surgical lip augmentation with dermal fillers provides naturalized results without surgery.

Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation FAQs
How long do the results of non-surgical lip augmentation last?
The duration of results can vary depending on the type of filler used and individual factors. Typically, the effects of dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. After this period, you may choose to have a touch-up treatment to maintain the desired appearance.
Is non-surgical lip augmentation painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Dermal fillers used for lip augmentation often contain a numbing agent (lidocaine) to help minimize any pain.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with non-surgical lip augmentation?
While non-surgical lip augmentation is generally considered safe, some side effects can occur, including swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness for a few days. Applying ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities in the first 24-48 hours can help minimize any discomfort.
Can I choose the level of lip enhancement I want with non-surgical procedures?
Yes, one of the advantages of non-surgical lip augmentation is that it allows for customizable results. You can work with your practitioner to determine the level of enhancement you desire, whether it’s a subtle, natural look or a more dramatic change in lip size and shape.
How long does the procedure take, and when can I see the results?
Non-surgical lip augmentation is a quick procedure, often taking less than an hour. Results are typically visible immediately, although there may be some initial swelling that can make the lips appear slightly fuller than the final outcome. Over the next few days, as swelling subsides and the fillers settle, you will see the full and natural-looking results.
Is non-surgical lip augmentation reversible?
Yes, one of the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be partially or fully reversed if you’re unsatisfied with the results. A substance called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the fillers, allowing your lips to return to their pre-treatment state.
