As we age, the appearance of our lips may change. They may thin and begin to sag at the corners, and lines may develop around the mouth, obscuring the skin-lip border. Thin lips can also be hereditary. Lip augmentation techniques can restore fullness and rejuvenate the lips for a more youthful, natural appearance.
There are a variety of options available for improving the lips' appearance, including skin resurfacing, injectable therapy, lip advancement, the subnasal lip lift, and the corner lip lift. Dr. Batniji is happy to discuss all of your options for lip augmentation in more detail at the time of consultation.
Dr. Batniji, an experienced board-certified facial plastic surgeon, is an expert at creating beautiful, natural lip augmentation results. He has dedicated his career to facial plastic surgery and beautifying the face. He is board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and by the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Depending on the particular technique used, your lip reshaping procedure may take place in Dr. Batniji’s Newport Beach, California, office or at one of the many fully accredited outpatient surgery centers or hospitals in Southern California with which Dr. Batniji is affiliated. He frequently performs lip augmentation at Beverly Hills Surgical Center, located near Rodeo Drive. Additionally, he performs lip augmentation procedures at Newport Beach Surgical Center and Fashion Island Surgical Center.
Skin Resurfacing
There are several skin resurfacing techniques that can be used to improve the lips' appearance. They are most often used for treating fine lines around the lips, which many people refer to as lipstick lines or smoker's lines. Dr. Batniji commonly uses chemical peels, CO2 laser therapy, and fractionated laser therapy for this purpose.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Injectable fillers comprised of hyaluronic acid, can be used in a variety of ways to improve the lips' appearance. It can plump the lips by increasing volume, enhance the pout of the lips, restore the Cupid’s bow, and improve fine lines and creases in and around the lips.
These fillers may also be used to improve marionette lines, as well as sagging corners of the mouth, which often create a sad, angry, or tired appearance. A dental block or local anesthesia may be used during treatment to maximize the patient’s comfort. Results are natural-looking and last an average of six months to a year.
Lip Advancement
Lip advancement is a surgical technique for improving thin lips. Results are more permanent than those achieved with injectable fillers. During the surgery, Dr. Batniji excises a strip of skin at the lip border to achieve a fuller lip appearance.
Botox®
Botox® can be used to improve drooping corners of the mouth (oral commissures). Botox® is injected in small amounts directly into the muscle responsible for the downward pull. Results look quite natural and last for around three to four months.
Corner Lip Lift
The corner lip lift is a surgical procedure that can provide a more permanent solution to sagging oral commissures than injectables can. Local anesthesia is commonly used. During surgery, Dr. Batniji carefully places the incisions above the corners of the mouth to ensure minimal scarring and then lifts the corners.
