Lip Augmentation using dermal hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance the lips of a middle-aged woman

Washingtonian women often ask about lip enhancement with plastic surgery,. However, they may be apprehensive about being “overdone” after seeing celebrities who have had excess plastic surgery. Washingtonians want natural, subtle results that rejuvenate their appearance without appearing as if they necessarily had work done.

Lip enhancement treatment options include augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane® or Juvederm®, fat injections, or lip lift plastic surgery. Hyaluronic acid facial fillers remain the most common method to augment the lips without surgery.

This woman has been receiving both Juvederm® and Restylane® filler treatments, in addition to Botox® Cosmetic, with Dr. Chaboki for years. Recently, Restylane® Silk has become available to a select group of plastic surgeons and dermatologists. Restylane® Silk is a new FDA approved soft tissue filler specifically for the lips and wrinkles around the mouth. She received one syringe of Restylane® Silk.
