Lip Augmentation
Lip Augmentation increases the size of the lips through a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques, that can be either temporary or permanent, depending on type of material and procedure chosen.
The result improves lip shape and size. It carefully balances the lip to the other facial features, while also considering the patient’s desired look.
The use of injectable fillers, such as Restylane® or Juvederm, are injected directly into the lips for safe, noticeable results that can last for several months. Dr. Brady does not use permanent fillers in the lips because of the risk of infection and hardening from scar formation.

After lip augmentation, patients will be able to return to work and other regular activities within a day or two. Mild discomfort, swelling and bleeding in the treated area is often experienced, although these symptoms usually go away on their own within a few days. The lips may appear overfilled at first, but will reach their desired appearance after a short time.
