Lip Enhancement Boston - Lip Augmentation Wellesley
While the eyes may be the focal point of the face for many, the lips are certainly the most sensuous part. From the days of Aphrodite to more recent celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie full sexy lips have represented an important aspect of beauty. At Accurate Aesthetics Plastic Surgery we can help those who were not born with voluptuous lips or have lost them due to age.
An important part of our Q2 facial rejuvenation concept, both volume (Quantity) and smoothness (Quality) stand equally important to the beauty of the lips. There are a variety of procedures that can give many women richer, fuller sensuous lips. While fat and collagen injections for the lips have been the most popular in the past, lip enhancement is now most commonly performed by injecting hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Juvederm® or Restylane®) into the appropriate areas. This can give not only more volume, but improved definition of the lip borders and minimize the appearance of fine lines. Fat injection or fat transplant is another way to improve the fullness of the lips. These results can be dramatic and instant but because these natural substances are gradually re-absorbed by the body regular touch up injections will be necessary to maintain your new appearance. This procedure has risen dramatically in popularity in recent years because of its ease and benefits.
Many other options are available for the lips as well. Lips by Thermage is perhaps the easiest. This gives some smoothing of the lines and slight increased fullness with the least amount of downtime (none) of any procedure. This radiofrequency computerized device is used to heat up the collagen and elastic fibers of the lower levels of skin causing the body to plump and smooth the lips over the next 3 to 6 months. Fractional laser resurfacing (Active FX, Deep FX, Max FX or Total FX) for smoothing of the fine or deep lines of the entire area around the lips is often a wonderful, scar less method to improve the quality of skin, reduce the wrinkles of the lips and remove age spots all at the same time. BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used in the lips to elevate the corners of the lips (it is placed in specific muscles, the DAO’s or Depressor Anguli Oris). Lip surgery such as a “corner lift” (often called a Valentine or Flowers lip lift) is a more permanent solution and can also be used to shorten, lengthen or plump the lips.
