Lip Augmentation Stockton, CA | Vu Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery

Understanding Lip Augmentation

Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the volume, shape, and definition of the lips using advanced injectable filler techniques. As facial aging progresses, lips can lose fullness and definition, making injectable fillers an excellent non-surgical solution for restoring a more youthful appearance.

Benefits of Lip Enhancement

• Plump thin lips
• Enhance shallow contours
• Soften facial creases around the mouth
• Improve lip symmetry and definition

Types of Injectable Fillers

Vu Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery offers multiple filler options to customize lip augmentation:

• Hyaluronic Acid fillers: Ideal for plumping lips and filling facial creases
• Collagen-based fillers: Natural protein supporting skin volume
• Hydroxylapatite fillers: Excellent for deeper lip and facial contouring
• Autologous fat transfer: Using patient's own fat for natural augmentation
