Lip augmentation, lift and resurfacing produces a natural result when performed together.

There are two main treatment options for the lip:

Soft treatment (non-surgical) – Such as injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, or natural fat filler, and/or laser to resurface the skin. After a few treatments, the effects may begin to last longer and become more permanent.
Lip fillers and treatment with HA products are provided on the day of consultation. They usually leave no bruises as they are done from inside the lip.

Surgical treatment – involves lifting the lip by removing a few millimeters of skin from the top part of the upper lip in what is known as a bullhorn technique. This surgery can be performed in combination with fat injections and laser.
