Lip Augmentation
Lip augmentation is considered by patients who desire fuller lips. As we age the lips frequently atrophy which can produce a stern, more serious expression. Lip enhancement can be performed on its own or in conjunction with other techniques to bring about a fresher more youthful appearance. Lip augmentation can be performed by a variety of techniques. They can be divided into those that involve injecting a substance to fill out the lips (injectables) and techniques that involve placement of a solid substance within the lips to augment them (implantables).Dr. Weider prefers the Surgisil lip implant due to its soft feel and natural appearance. More information is available atwww.surgisil.com.
Both techniques can be performed using the patient's own tissue or tissue from a variety of other sources. Most of these procedures can be performed in the Dallas office under local anesthesia. During your consultation, Dr Weider will discuss your goals and describe the various treatment options available to you as well as their advantages and drawbacks.
