Dr. Buckingham’s Q&A

Lip Augmentation

Filed under: Restylane — Tags: , , — Dr. Edward D. Buckingham, M.D. @ 6:41 pm

Sandrine B.,

There are both temporary and permanent options available for lip augmentation.  The best temporary option is to use a filler such as Restylane or Juvederm to enhance the lip.  The downside is that the result only lasts around 6 months.  The upside is that the results, if done properly, are very natural and can be tailored to very specific locations in the lip.  The permanent option would involve placement of an implant into the lip.  There are a few different possibilities for this as well.  They do not offer the flexibility of an injectable, but of course the advantage is that the procedure is permanent albeit reversible.  Please feel free to give the office a call for a consultation.  I would be happy to discuss your individual options with you in person.

Lip fillers and scar

Pam,

Thanks for your question regarding lip fillers and your scar.  Sorry for the delay, I was out of town.�
Filling in your lips should in no way adversely affect your scar.  We may even be able to use filler to improve the appearance of the scar.  Please feel free to make an appointment for a consultation and I will look forward to discussing this further.  If you desire we could probably even perform the procedure the same day if you are comfortable following our discussion.
