What are Lip Injections?
Lip injections resize and reshape the appearance of lips. As women age, lips may appear thinner and develop vertical lines around them. Using dermal fillers, the plumpness is returned to the lips, which also subtly adds volume around them to diminish the lines. With lip augmentation, lips are resized and reshaped to enhance the mouth and other facial features. The goal is to return balance with the other facial features and restore a full smile.
Why Choose Lip Injections?
As the lips begin to look thinner, they look pursed creating a harsh appearance. Lip injections add natural looking volume and restore a softer fullness while adding definition to the edges of the lips.
