Everyone knows that attractive lips are the cherry on top of a gleaming smile; but for many people, an invisible set of lips is no laughing matter. Lip augmentation has been a popular solution for several years; however, it’s worth noting that today’s methods of lip augmentation are safer and more effective than ever.

At our Pasadena cosmetic surgery office, Dr. Taylor can perform lip
injections using:
- Collagen
- Restylane®
- Juvederm®
- Hylaform™
- AlloDerm™
- SoftForm™
- Fat transfers
Fat transfer lip injections are growing in popularity by leaps and bounds.
This is likely because patients report a longer-lasting result. The
remaining methods continue to be safe and effective, though, with results
that last anywhere from three to eight months (depending on which product
is used).
Surgical Lip Augmentation: A Lip Lift
Aging brings about changes for nearly every part of the face – and the
lips are no exception. The upper lip can lengthen and sag, while the
vermilion thins out and takes on a "set" look. Meanwhile,
corners can droop and attractive lip curves can fade into the background.
A surgical procedure known as a lip lift can reverse these effects.
This effective procedure allows the upper teeth to show again and restores
the natural, striking features that people immediately notice. The discreet,
virtually invisible scar lies in the shadow crease between the nostril
sill.
For more information on lip augmentation or a lip lift, please contact
our Pasadena cosmetic surgeon. He can explain further details during
an initial consultation.
