What is Lip Augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a type of cosmetic procedure that creates fuller, plumper, and more youthful-looking lips. There are different types of lip augmentation, including nonsurgical options. On the surgical side, Dr. Hassanzadeh offers fat grafting or an implant of your own body’s dermis or fascia to increase the fullness and volume of the lips.
Lip augmentation pairs extremely well with an upper lip lift to maximize your red lip volume and show.
Patient Testimonial
Jawline Filler
I visited Dr. Hassanzadeh to enhance my jawline, and she suggested a bit of filler – it was exactly what I needed. Now, two weeks later, I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the results. The change is subtle yet powerful, giving me that perfectly “snatched” jawline I was hoping for.
Dr. Hassanzadeh is also a total sweetheart! She makes you feel welcome and is incredibly knowledgeable about facial aesthetics. While I’m not quite ready for surgery, I’ve seen her surgical work, and I would trust her 1000% with my face when the time comes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a change, whether surgical or non-surgical!

The Lip Augmentation Procedure
At our office, Dr. Hassanzadeh offers a few different lip augmentation options, including fat transfer and lip implants.
Fat Transfer
With fat grafting and transfer, we’ll first administer local or general anesthesia. From there, Dr. Hassanzadeh will perform liposuction to loosen and suction out fat from a donor site, such as from the lower belly. The fat will then be purified. She will then inject the fat into your lips through two pokes in the left and right corners of the mouth. The procedure takes about an hour.
Lip Implants
The lip implant procedure begins with administering local or general anesthesia. Dr. Hassanzadeh will start by obtaining a graft of your natural donor tissue to create an implant. This can be from the dermis of the skin removed in an upper lip lift, or fascia from around the face or scalp. She will then make a small poke in each corner of the mouth and create a tunnel in the lips. The implant is placed in this tunnel. Once the implant is in the right place, she may place a dissolvable suture in the access sites, and you can start your healing process. This is also about an hour long.
Lip Augmentation Recovery
What to expect during your recovery will depend on the type of lip augmentation you have done. You will likely have some bruising and swelling in the treatment area, but those side effects will dissipate as you heal.
You should elevate your head while you’re sleeping, avoid putting pressure on your lips, and avoid moving your lips excessively. You can use cold compresses on your lips to help ease the swelling.
On average, it can take a few weeks before you’re fully recovered.
Am I a Candidate?
During your consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh, she will help you determine if lip augmentation is right for you and, if so, which type. Ideal candidates are those who are in generally good health, nonsmokers, and those with realistic expectations. We also recommend you don’t have an active infection like a cold sore.
