procedure details and recovery
Lip Augmentation can be completed in two ways, either through filler injections or through a transfer of body fat to the lips.
The fat transfer process is the removing of fat from another part of the body, usually the abdomen or thigh area, and injecting the fat directly into the lips with needle sticks. Lip augmentation is usually performed in combination with another procedure, such as liposuction or facial fat tansfer. For lip augmentation, a local anesthesia is administered. Recovery time time can be a week or two.
Beginning on the corner edge of the bottom lip, Dr. Ronan inserts a needle and moves it across the lip, increasing the amount of filler/fat the needle releases as he moves to the center of the mouth. He then repeats on the other side to create a shape that mimics a naturally full lip. As an outpatient procedure, recovery time is only minutes to a few hours before returning to normal activities.
Fillers have a minimal recovery time but the few side effects of a fat transfer include: swelling, some bleeding, and a token amount of pain. Considering a facial fat transfer for the lips is a smarter choice over injectables because it uses the body’s own healthy tissue.
