Lip Augmentation Laguna Beach, CA | Daniel C. Mills, MD, FACS

Understanding Lip Augmentation

Lips are a critical facial feature that significantly impacts first impressions. Dr. Daniel C. Mills, an experienced Orange County plastic surgeon, specializes in creating fuller, more sensual lips through advanced injectable techniques.

Lip Enhancement Techniques

Dr. Mills offers multiple lip augmentation options to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic:

• Restylane® injectable dermal filler
• JUVEDERM® volumizing treatment
• Patient's own fat transfer technique

Procedure Overview

The lip augmentation procedure typically takes approximately thirty minutes and requires minimal downtime. Ultra-thin needles and optional local anesthesia ensure patient comfort. Patients can expect immediate results with potential minor swelling or bruising that quickly subsides.

Injectable Filler Options

Restylane® Lip Enhancement

Restylane® is a natural, FDA-approved dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid. This safe cosmetic treatment plumps thin lips and enhances facial aesthetics without requiring allergy testing. Results are immediate and can last several months.

JUVEDERM® Lip Treatment

JUVEDERM® provides a soft, smooth lip enhancement with hyaluronic acid-based injections. Treatments typically last thirty minutes and offer results that can persist for nine to twelve months, potentially longer with touch-up appointments.

Fat Transfer Technique

Fat injection lip augmentation uses the patient's own fat cells, ensuring natural acceptance and long-lasting volume. The procedure involves harvesting, purifying, and strategically injecting fat to achieve desired lip fullness.

Treatment Expectations

Each lip augmentation is customized to the patient's unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. Dr. Mills works closely with patients to determine the most appropriate enhancement technique during an comprehensive consultation.
