BOTOX may also be used to modify creases at the corners of the mouth.

LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE

There are numerous methods used for lip augmentations in West Hollywood: non-surgical options such as dermal fillers and fat transfer, and invasive surgical procedures such as lip implants, dermal grafting, vermillion advancement, or lip lifting, which yield a more permanent result. Lip augmentation is generally an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthetic. It can usually be completed in two hours or less. Dr. Sedgh’s expertise in facial reconstructive surgery enables him to perform the procedure with utmost accuracy, taking into consideration the impact that it will have on your overall appearance.

TEMPORARY LIP ENHANCEMENT

Dermal fillers are considered the best option for temporary lip enhancement. This procedure involves the strategic placement of lip fillers to areas that need to be plumped or reshaped. This particular method requires an in-depth understanding of facial aging and changes in the bony and soft tissue anatomy, as this can play a significant role in achieving natural-looking results. To augment the lips, Dr. Sedgh will inject dermal filler in small increments to keep the results natural and controlled. Each injection site will be massaged to sculpt the area, then carefully evaluated to determine if more filler is required.

LASTING LIP ENHANCEMENT

For results that last a lifetime results, lip implants and fat transfers are both popular options. With fat transfer, a small portion of body fat is taken out of a donor site and injected into the target areas to create soft, smooth, and plump lips. With lip implants, the doctor will use either natural or synthetic implants, which are inserted through small incisions inside the corners of the mouth. He will then thread the implant through the lip, cut it into the correct length, and close the incisions with stitches.

Invasive surgical options for permanent lip augmentation, such as mucosal advancement and lip lifting, can also be performed. However, these methods are only appropriate for a select group of patients and not commonly used in the modern era of facial rejuvenation due to the success and ease of less invasive options.

RECOVERY

Lip augmentation procedures generally require minimal downtime. Swelling and mild bruising are common but usually subside within a few days. Depending on the treatment, most patients can resume regular activities within a week.

Recovery Timeline:

Day 1-3: Swelling and bruising begin to subside.
Day 4-7: Most patients can return to work or social activities.
One Month: Final results become more visible.

Dr. Sedgh provides each patient with personalized post-procedure care instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
