Lip Augmentation: One More Reason to Smile
Your smile is one of your best accessories. Not only does smiling boost your confidence, but it also delivers some serious health benefits. Smiling relieves stress, boosts your mood, and even helps lower your blood pressure.
At Sargon Dental, we give you one more reason to smile. Our expert team is on a mission to help you fall in love with every aspect of your smile, from your pearly whites to full, plump lips. That’s why we offer three types of lip augmentation here in our Encino and West Hollywood, California, offices.
Take a few moments to learn more about your lip augmentation options.
Explore the possibilities with lip augmentation
Lip augmentation refers to any procedure that augments 一 adds volume to 一 your lips. Here at Sargon Dental, we offer hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, fat transfers, and AlloDerm™.
You might be a good candidate for lip augmentation if:
- You’re in good overall health
- You have thin lips
- You’d like more lush, voluminous lips
- You have realistic goals
- You don’t smoke (smoking can affect fat transfer success and contribute to poor skin quality)
Depending on which option you choose, your results can last from 12 months to several years.
3 reasons to treat yourself to lip augmentation
During your consultation, our team reviews your aesthetic goals and your health history, and determines which type of lip augmentation is best for you. When you receive lip augmentation with us, you can expect the following benefits:
1. Easy process, beautiful results
Regardless of which type of lip augmentation you choose, the process is simple. Each lip augmentation is performed under local anesthesia right here in our office, and you’re able to go home afterward.
Dermal fillers require less downtime than AlloDerm, but rest assured that our team provides you with all of the preparation steps you need.
2. Results are long-lasting
Dermal fillers last from 12-24 months, but maintenance treatments help you maintain your look. These injectables plump up your lips thanks to the superpowers of hyaluronic acid.
Your body already produces hyaluronic acid, and it works like a sponge, drawing water into it. This helps your lips stay supple, soft, and oh-so-plump.
Fat transfers, on the other hand, can last a lifetime. During this 60-90 minute procedure, we transfer unwanted fat from one area and inject it into your lips.
AlloDerm is a similar soft tissue injection, but this process uses sterile tissue rather than unwanted fat from your body. Both fat transfers and AlloDerm are designed to last for years on end.
3. Boosts your confidence
As with any cosmetic treatment 一 wrinkle reduction with Xeomin®, teeth whitening, or veneers, 一 lip augmentation boosts your confidence, and when you love your smile, it shows!
’Tis the season to treat yourself! Schedule your lip augmentation consultation and show off your brand-new smile this holiday season. Call Sargon Dental or request an appointment through our website.
