What to Expect?
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your lips, lip augmentation can add the shape and volume you want – either surgically or non-surgically.
We are very sensitive to the worries that many patients have about lip augmentation surgery. We do not advocate the over-inflated look that you have seen in some Hollywood actresses. Your lips will look fuller but not overdone or obviously augmented.
Recovery Time
While you can expect some mild bruising and swelling for a few days after dermal filler injections, there is no recovery period required. With fat transfer or fat grafting, healing must take place at both the injection site and the site of harvesting. Often, there is more bruising and swelling from liposuction than from the injections. Any pain can be managed with medication, and depending upon the extent of the liposuction, you can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks and vigorous exercise within 4-8 weeks.
Recovery from silicone lip implants is generally fast. Most patients take less than a week off from work until post-procedure swelling has subsided.
