Lip Augmentation in Miami, DC | Advanced Cosmetic Enhancement

Understanding Lip Augmentation Procedures

Lip augmentation is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to increase the fullness and enhance the shape of lips. By utilizing advanced techniques, Zaydon Jr Thomas J MD can create natural-looking lip volume that complements facial features.

Procedure Overview

Lip augmentation is performed in-office under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and minimal disruption. The procedure involves carefully selected augmentation materials that can be administered through two primary methods:

• Injectable liquid fillers
• Surgical sheet implant placement

Surgical Technique

When using sheet-form augmentation materials, small incisions are strategically placed at the mouth's corners. These materials are then precisely threaded through the lips to provide smooth, even enhancement. Typically, these incisions remain hidden inside the mouth.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can usually return to their regular routine immediately following the procedure, with minimal downtime. Expected recovery characteristics include:

• Temporary swelling lasting 3-7 days
• Minimal discomfort
• Rarely requiring prescription pain medication

Augmentation Material Options

Zaydon Jr Thomas J MD offers multiple lip augmentation options, categorized into liquid and sheet-form materials:

• Liquid Collagen Injections
• Sheet Form Materials:
  • Alloderm
  • Dermaplant
  • Fascia
  • Gore-Tex

Important Considerations

Lip augmentation specifically increases lip volume but does not address issues like lipstick bleed or wrinkles. For those concerns, alternative treatments such as permanent makeup or wrinkle reduction might be recommended.

Alternative Procedures

For patients seeking alternative lip-related enhancements, a lip lift procedure can raise drooping lips and improve overall lip aesthetics.
