Jacksonville Lip Enhancement / Augmentation
Serving Patients in Jacksonville, Florida
Lip Enhancement / Augmentation
Lip enhancement / augmentation can provide patients with flat lips with a fuller rejuvenated appearance to their lips. In addition, lip enhancement can also improve the fine wrinkles seen around both the upper and lower lips. Your lips can be enhanced to create a subtle change or more to create sexy & pouty appearing lips.
Lip enhancement is performed by injecting a natural or synthetic biocompatible material. Proper placement of the material is important and generally only one treatment is necessary. Depending on the material used, the result may be temporary or permanent.
Patients can return to their normal activities the day following most lip enhancement techniques. Some minor swelling or bruising resolves quickly. There are currently a number of options available to patients desiring lip enhancement:
Our facial plastic surgery team will help you decide which material best suits your needs. At the Desai Center of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, we believe that patients, their desires, and anatomy are all unique.

These fillers generally last between 6 – 9 months.

Alloderm Lip Enhancement, Cosmetic Surgery in Jacksonville
Alloderm is acellular human cadaveric dermis and is placed through two small incisions to create fuller lips. Since all the cells from the donor tissue are removed, there is no rejection seen with the use of Alloderm. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The recovery time is longer and averages 5-7 days. Although the cost for alloderm lip augmentation is higher due to the cost of the product, the results can be permanent.

Fat Grafting Lip Enhancement, Cosmetic Surgery in Jacksonville
Fat grafting is an exciting technique for both soft-tissue defects and facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting lip enhancement is performed by carefully harvesting fat from you abdomen or hips. The fat is then delicately processed to remove everything except your own body's fat cells. The fat cells are then injected into the proper plane of your lips to create a fuller look. Some overcorrection is required as not all of the fat survives and occasionally a second round of injection is required for a permanent effect. To learn more, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Desai and our Ponte Vedra plastic surgery team.
