Plump. Luscious. Kissable. We’re pretty sure any woman would want these three words used to describe her lips. But some women are born with thin lips. And even those naturally endowed with full lips notice that they tend to thin with age and lose their volume. Fortunately, if you’re one of the many women looking to plump their thin lips, you have several options.
On one hand, you could try different tricks to make your lips look more voluptuous, including strategic make-up application, specific color choices, and topical cosmetic ingredients that irritate (and therefore swell) your lips temporarily.
But if you prefer a more lasting option that actually gives you fuller lips, rather than just making them look fuller, San Diego cosmetic surgeon Dr. Charles Sarosy can help.
Juvederm for Plump, Kissable Lips
In past years, collagen held the top spot among dermal fillers for lip augmentation, but today, the filler most cosmetic surgeons recommend is hyaluronic acid. It’s naturally produced in the human body and is safer than fat injections and lip implants – and the results are more consistent. There are a number of different products containing hyaluronic acid, and all of them will give more volume to thin lips. But if you’re looking for the best lip filler on the market today, Dr. Charles Sarosy recommends Juvederm.
The formula for Juvederm has been chemically bound to become a gel, and it will alter the shape of your lips, giving them more volume and more structure. The gel formula means it stays in place longer and gives a natural, smooth feel to the treated area. It also fills in the lines and wrinkles around your mouth to eliminate those pesky signs of aging. Juvederm absorbs water up 1000 times the weight of the injection and increases the production of elastin and collagen, which gives you additional volume that looks luscious, beautiful, and natural. With Juvederm, you get the lips you want with very little downtime, a lower risk of allergic reactions, and less bruising than with other lip augmentation methods.
Procedure
After a consultation to determine your needs, Dr. Charles Sarosy will provide your Juvederm injections in his San Diego office. First, he will numb the injection area with a topical anesthetic so you don’t feel any pain. Then he will inject the solution with very fine needles and fill in your lips. The procedure will take approximately fifteen minutes. Afterword, Dr. Sarosy may give you ice packs to keep the swelling down, and depending on decisions made during your consultation visit, you may need to return for follow-up injections. Although it may take you a few visits to get exactly what you want, the results can last several months or even up to a year.
A quick phone call to Dr. Charles Sarosy and SD Body Contouring is the first step to having the luscious lips you’ve always wanted – or to getting back those voluptuous lips you used to have.
Think about it. If you opt for the topical lip irritants and make-up tricks, you have to wake up and tend to your thin or thinning lips daily. With Juvederm, your lips are plump and succulent all day every day. And with lips that kissable, anything can happen, right?
