Non-Surgical
Lip Augmentation

Page Updated: March 5, 2024

Non-surgical lip augmentation can create fuller lips with natural-looking results. Lip augmentation, or lip filler, can benefit patients who have always wished for a more plump pout, as well as those who have lost lip volume with age. This procedure can smooth fine lines around the lips, create symmetry, and add definition to the lip line for a youthful look.

How Does Lip Augmentation Work?

Lip augmentation is performed with injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers. During an initial consultation at Deep Blue Med Spa, our lip augmentation specialist will assess your lip area and discuss your goals. Your lip augmentation will be customized to suit your desired look. At the beginning of your lip enhancement procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to minimize any discomfort. The specialist will then use a fine needle to strategically inject the filler into your lips.

Dermal Fillers for Lip Enhancement

In the past, lip augmentation was often performed with collagen. However, the results were not always predictable and they did not last long. Advanced lip enhancement utilizes hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for smooth lips and natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid can also stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and help lips retain moisture. The most popular fillers used for lip augmentation include:

JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA^® XC

This FDA-approved lip filler uses innovative VYCROSS^® technology to augment the lips and reduce the appearance of vertical lines around the mouth. Learn more about JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA^® XC.

Lip Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Lip Augmentation Hurt?
You may feel a slight pinching or tingling during the procedure, and some tenderness in the day following, but anesthetics will be used to minimize any discomfort during the injections.
Will My Lip Filler Look Bumpy or Unnatural?
If you have seen people with lips that are bumpy after lip augmentation, the practitioner may have used a filler type that was not ideal for the procedure or they may have injected the filler too close to the surface of the lips. Our highly trained specialists are dedicated to using their skill and experience to provide optimal results.
Is Lip Augmentation Permanent?
No, lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can last several months up to one year. Hyaluronic acid (HA) filler can also be dissolved by your practitioner, so results are reversible if needed.
How Much Does Lip Augmentation Cost?
We fully customize each lip augmentation procedure to ensure that we meet the expectations of every patient. The price of non-surgical lip augmentation can vary based on the amount and type of filler that is used.
How Do I Know if Lip Augmentation is Right for Me?
Lip augmentation is a non-invasive and temporary solution for many patients who are unhappy with lips that are thin, flat, or narrow.
