In the younger patient, the lips can be made fuller, in the more mature client fullness and correction of smoker’s lines are addressed.

An exaggerated lip that resembles a duck is to be avoided. Some unfortunate people are talked into procedures that worsen their looks. Over-fills are freakish, unnatural. Fillers, lasers and botox combine to correct these imperfections.

The lips are not in balance with their other facial features. The disproportion destroys the symmetry of their faces. The lips can be made somewhat smaller without sacrificing their attractiveness.

An outpatient surgical procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Incisions are made on the inner part of the lips and scarring is negligible. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient.
