Lip Enhancement in Austin​

Bruising and swelling are possible but usually of minimal concern. Most patients have me do a “dental block” which is a nearly painless way to numb the lips so that the otherwise very sensitive lips can be treated with ease. The amount of augmentation you get is a simple matter of how much product is placed. For subtle augmentation, a half syringe is used and for a more significant size, a full syringe is used. This type of augmentation lasts several months and is reversible if you want to end the augmentation before the product dissolves naturally.

The surgery to place the implants takes only 15 minutes, is minimally painful, is done with you wide awake, and produces only slight swelling and bruising in the vast majority of cases. Many patients have this procedure done as a lunch-time procedure. You can choose to have this done at the same time as your consultation if you like and you will be able to drive yourself to and from the appointment. The implants can be removed or switched out for larger or smaller implants at any time in the future if so desired. The incision to place the implant is less than 1/8 inch long and is essentially inside the mouth where it can not be seen.
