When it comes to facial aesthetics, your lips play a starring role. Their shape, volume, and contour can impact the overall harmony of your face, making you feel more confident and radiant. But not everyone is blessed with the voluptuous lips they desire, and age can also take its toll, reducing their natural fullness. Enter lip augmentation and reshaping—a suite of procedures designed to enhance, redefine, and rejuvenate your lips.
Let’s explore the world of lip enhancement and explore the various options available.
Lip augmentation fillers[¹], one of the most popular lip augmentation choices, involve injecting specific substances into your lips to increase volume, shape, or both. These lip augmentation fillers are often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the body. A skilled practitioner, like Dr. Emily Jiles, will strategically inject the filler into precise areas of your lips, ensuring a natural-looking and balanced result. The procedure is fairly quick and requires minimal downtime, and the effects can last several months, depending on the type of lip augmentation filler used and individual factors.
For those seeking a more permanent solution, lip implants[²] offer a long-lasting alternative to lip augmentation fillers. These implants can be made from various materials, including silicone or natural tissue grafts. Under local anesthesia, small incisions are made at the corners of your mouth. The implant is then carefully positioned before the incisions are closed. The result? A more permanently augmented lip shape that retains its form over time.
As the name suggests, this procedure involves taking fat from one part of your body and transferring it to your lips. It’s a natural way to enhance your lips using your body’s resources. Fat is first harvested from a part of your body, often the abdomen or thighs. It’s then processed and purified before being carefully injected into your lips. The benefit of the fat transfer to lips[³] method is the dual advantage of lip enhancement coupled with body contouring at the fat extraction site.
A lip lift is a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the lip, typically the upper lip, to expose more of the pink lip tissue and create an illusion of fullness and a more youthful appearance. By making a small incision under the nose, excess skin is removed, and the lip is elevated. This procedure offers a more permanent solution compared to lip augmentation fillers and can profoundly change the lip’s shape and position.
In your journey to enhanced lips, it’s essential to consider the look you’re aiming for, the longevity of the results, and the nature of the procedure (non-surgical vs. surgical). Whichever path you choose, ensuring you’re in the hands of an expert like Dr. Emily Jiles will make all the difference. Your dream lips await.

The most important goal is maintain a refreshed look of youth; you should never look "overdone" or "pulled too tight." You should just look like your younger self.
