Lip Enhancement with fat transfer to soften and fill the lips of an older woman

Wrinkles around the lips commonly develop with natural aging or sun damage. Many Washington DC area women seek lip enhancement treatments to rejuvenate the skin and restore a more youthful appearance. These lip creases may be treated with skin resurfacing such as chemical peels, lasers, or dermabrasion. Alternatively, lip injections with either facial fillers or fat can help smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate the lips.

This northern Virginia woman previously had Juvederm injections into the lip creases and wanted an alternative natural filler for lip enhancement. We decided on fat injections due the potential for longer term results. A small amount of her own fat was taken via liposuction from the abdomen area and transferred to the lips via light anesthesia. Her lips are soft and fuller with more volume, while also reducing lip wrinkles.
