Lip Enhancement

As with any enhancement of the face and neck, lip enhancement should appear beautiful, but natural. Too often lips are over-injected or injected at the improper depths or sites. Advanced techniques can be utilized to artistically enhance the lips, in ways which accentuate beautiful form and definition of the lips, without the lips appearing injected. Dr. Sparano performs a comprehensive analysis of each patient’s lips before injecting, customizing his approach for patients individually.

Lip injections are performed only with FDA-cleared fillers at a density optimal for the lips. Local anesthesia is often used to prevent a painful experience. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes to perform. The lips will swell following the procedure, usually taking several days to resolve. Bruising is possible, but can be covered with lipstick following the procedure. Lip injections are performed by Dr. Sparano with precision and great care. Once swelling resolves, the lips should appear beautiful.
