Lip Augmentation

Conveniently located to serve Houston, Texas

Plump lips can be achieved with lip augmentation in Houston. If you see your lips starting to thin due to the natural aging process, there are injectable options available for you. Restore a youthful appearance by adding more volume to your lips.

What Is a Lip Augmentation Treatment?

Dr. Donna Rich provides a minimally invasive way of adding volume to your lips. She uses Juvéderm Ultra XC to treat thinning lips. Juvéderm Ultra XC is a dermal filler primarily used for the lip area. It contains hyaluronic acid, water, and lidocaine.

This dermal filler also reduces the appearance of wrinkles above and under your lips. These fine lines – often called lipstick lines, smoker’s lines, or perioral lip lines – can make a person look older than they actually are.

Lip-augmentation and wrinkle-reduction results can last up to a year if performed by a highly skilled expert like Dr. Rich.

I have been very happy with my process here with Dr. Rich and staff. I felt very confident going into surgery and was surprised to see the extent of follow up care that she provides. I have mentioned her to many friends and tell anyone that I talk to about implants who did mine.

Ideal Candidates for Lip Augmentation

Ideal candidates for lip augmentation treatments are patients who want to give their lips better-defined contours and improved volume. If you desire fuller lips, this non-surgical procedure is most likely right for you. It is also an excellent option for patients who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines around their lips.

If you have experienced a negative reaction to hyaluronic injections, or if you have a known allergy to lidocaine, it is best not to undergo this treatment.

Your Consultation

Discuss your expectations and goals during your consultation. Dr. Rich will physically examine your lip areas to properly evaluate your issues. She will ask you about your expectations in order to come up with the right treatment plan for your issues.

The lip augmentation procedure does not involve any surgical techniques, but you will still be informed about any possible complications. You will also be given aftercare instructions.

The Procedure

There is no need to apply a topical anesthetic before lip augmentation, because the Juvéderm Ultra XC formula already contains lidocaine. This local anesthetic ensures a comfortable treatment process.

Dr. Rich follows an individualized treatment course for each patient. She will inject the dermal filler with great precision. This is important for achieving a natural-looking appearance. She will deliver volume where there are wrinkles in order to smooth out the perioral lines and creases.

The whole procedure can take 30 minutes to an hour depending on the amount of work that needs to be done.

Aftercare

Lip augmentation injections do not require any downtime or recovery time. You can go back to your normal routine right after your treatment.

You may experience minor temporary tenderness, redness, and swelling, which should disappear in a few days. It is normal to find temporary skin discoloration or lumps in the injected areas. You will see noticeable improvement in your lip volume right after your treatment.

The Cost of Lip Augmentation

Depending on the number of injections required, the total cost of lip augmentation can vary from patient to patient. The price of each injection can also differ depending on the number of treatment sessions needed.
