Fat Transfer
Restylane®
Over time environmental damage from the sun’s harsh rays, pollution and other environmental hazards can have a devastating effect on the exposed areas of the face, such as the lip and mouth area. The aging process and poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking can further accelerate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The corners of the mouth begin to droop. The V-shaped area of the upper lip begins to flatten out and lose its youthful fullness. Vertical wrinkles begin to appear causing lipstick to bleed. That once sensual look associated with fuller lips is lost or greatly diminished. Fortunately thanks to the latest lip augmentation options available to cosmetic surgeons, the lips can now be restored to a fuller more natural look often times changing the entire appearance of the lips.
What lip enhancement and lip rejuvenation treatment options are available to give my lips that fuller more desirable look?
Lip enhancement and lip rejuvenation are two of the most frequently requested cosmetic procedures at Nikko Cosmetic Surgery. Options range from the latest in natural injectable fillers, such as Restylane® or FAMI (Fat Autografting Muscle Injection.) FAMI, a fat transfer process, is a minimally invasive procedure that facilitates the correction of facial deficiencies.

Lip Augmentation: Restylane®
RESTYLANE®
Restylane® is a non-animal, FDA approved cosmetic filler. Like other fillers it is used to replenish the dermal volume loss from the aging process that accelerates the appearance of wrinkles and as a lip enhancement option.
Following lip enhancement with one of the injectable products or your own fat your lips will remain swollen for a few hours. You may return to normal activities the same day.
