Lip Lift

How is it Different from Regular Filler Injections?

• A new way of injecting to make the lip fuller and taller, avoiding the overdone or “ducky” look. 
• The retrograde vertical pillar injection acts as a strut to vertically stretch the lip. 
• Typically injects 0.5ml of high G prime filler (e.g., Juvederm Voluma) in a superficial location and reassess the result at 2-3 weeks. 
• Creates a more heart-shaped lip rather than a sausage-like lip. 
• Accentuates the central portion of the lip. 
• More injection entry points along the vermillion border for better control. 
• Superficial subdermal plane reduces the risk of vascular complications. 

Process and Pain:

Dr. Boonipat performs a nerve block inside your mouth to completely numb your lips. The injection process takes 15-60 minutes, and you can see immediate results. The injection is more superficial than traditional lip filler injections and therefore hurts less. 

How Long Does it Last?

Results last from 6-9 months. Some patients metabolize the filler faster, leading to shorter results. 

Downtime:

There is practically no downtime. The side effect profile is similar to regular filler injections.
