Lip Enhancement

Lip enhancement is a common procedure for both men and women. If you want plumper, fuller lips, or you want to rejuvenate aging lips that have grown thinner over time, lip enhancement may be the right option for you. All lip enhancement candidates must be in good health and have no pre-existing medical conditions that could create complications.

Many factors influence the way our lips age. The most common factors are the loss of elasticity, the loss of collagen, genetics and gravity. When skin loses its elasticity it can begin to visibly sag. Loss of collagen under the skin can reduce volume and support, which creates visible wrinkles. Family genes also can be predisposed to showing early signs of aging.

When choosing a plastic surgeon to perform a lip enhancement procedure, there are three important qualifications to consider: training, experience, and personal attention. Your surgeon should have completed an accredited plastic surgery residency program and be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Above all, your doctor should be someone you trust to deliver exceptional results and perform a safe and effective procedure.

Our doctor spends the necessary time with every patient to answer any questions and address any concerns.

We know that your time is valuable, which is why we maintain an efficient procedure calendar and use the latest techniques, technologies and products to minimize your recovery time and maximize your results

Lip surgery cost – Insurance companies commonly do not cover an elective or cosmetic procedure like lip enhancement unless it is performed to correct a medical or health condition. If you plan to use insurance as payment, we strongly suggest consulting with your provider to discuss if the procedure is covered in part or in full by your current plan.

At Detroit Plastic Surgery, we use the most advanced, minimally invasive techniques to reduce the possibility of scarring or other visible signs that a procedure was performed. While results vary based on the individual, we focus on creating the most natural results possible. During your consultation, your doctor will thoroughly explain what results to expect.

The longevity of results varies and is dependent on the individual. Typically, you can expect the results of an injectable treatment to last for six to twelve months and the results of a surgical treatment to last up to five years.

As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of complication related to infection. Some people may wake up from surgery feeling groggy and experience an upset stomach, side effects of the anesthesia that are very temporary.

Risks associated with injectable treatments are incredibly minimal. We are happy to explain in detail any of the risks involved prior to your surgery or treatment. We carefully review your complete medical history and all medications you are on to prevent any complications.

Yes, your Detroit Plastic Surgery doctor can recommend additional services that may enhance your desired results like a facelift or dermal fillers. Detroit Plastic Surgery also offers the option of combining your lip enhancement with a laser skin resurfacing treatment. Lasers promote collagen growth under the skin, which naturally helps to fill in wrinkles and restore volume around the mouth and other areas of the face.
