BRING LIFE BACK TO YOUR SMILE WITH LIP AUGMENTATION

The lip craze continues to evolve and become increasingly popular with each passing year. For those who desire full, plump lips, there are a myriad of medical options that can last for mere months or years on end.

Dr. Hochman assists patients in making the best selection suited to their needs, and by outlining the possibilities, the path to beautiful lips becomes clear and easy to follow.

WHAT ARE THE LIP AUGMENTATION OPTIONS?

Lip augmentation procedures can vary from clinic to clinic but at The Facial Surgery Center, we focused on the three following options as we have extensive experience of success with these methods:

Temporary lip filler
Permalip tissue augmentation
Lip lift surgical procedure

For those who desire a safe, definitive solution for lip augmentation, the FDA-approved Permalip is our most popular and effective option. Dr. Hochman has had a hand in related research and practice for years, and remains one of the only SurgilSil Perma Facial Implant certified surgeons in South Carolina

BENEFITS OF LIP AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE

Our mouth is one of the first things people notice about our face. If our lips appear deflated and downturned, this can be a detriment to our overall appearance. Luckily these issues are easily addressed, and the results of lip augmentation patients enjoy include:

A more elastic, lush pair of lips
More prominent positioning and coloring
A more approachable appearance

Frequently Asked Questions

What lip augmentation options are available?

We offer temporary lip filler, Permalip (a permanent, FDA-approved implant), and lip lift surgery. Dr. Hochman is one of the only SurgiSil Perma Facial Implant certified surgeons in South Carolina.

How long does lip augmentation take and what's recovery like?

Filler and Permalip procedures take about 30 minutes under numbing cream or local anesthesia, with swelling for two to three days and bruising possible for up to a week.

What is a lip lift, and how is it different from filler?

A lip lift raises the border of the lips to create a more prominent mouth without injectables. It takes under an hour with local anesthesia and a recovery of just a few days.

How long do results last?

Temporary filler typically lasts months, while Permalip and lip lift surgery are designed to be long-term solutions.

LIP LIFTS – A VALID ALTERNATIVE

Time and gravity tend to make lips droop and appear narrow when compared to youth. A lip lift
procedure raises the vermilion border along the edge of the lips to create a crisp, prominent mouth without the need for any injectables.

The procedure takes less than an hour with local anesthetic, minimal incisions below the nostril, and a quick recovery period of a few days.
