Beverly Hills Lip Augmentation

The lips are one of the most noticeable features of the face, but hereditary factors and the aging process leave some people unsatisfied with the appearance of theirs. Many patients desire cosmetic treatment known as lip augmentation or lip enhancement to restore shape and volume to the lips. With this procedure, our Beverly Hills practice has helped countless people improve the attractiveness of their lips.

Achieved With Lip Augmentation Surgery

A More Youthful Appearance

While the lips are smooth and full when we are young, they tend to develop wrinkles and thin out over time.

Lip augmentation eliminates wrinkles and adds fullness to the lips, so patients look noticeably younger.

Diminished Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Many people are born with naturally thin lips that can make them feel self-conscious.

After lip augmentation, patients can enjoy full, plump lips, and they often develop a renewed sense of confidence.

Correction of Sagging

Aging in the lips often causes loose and sagging skin around the mouth as well.

A lip augmentation smoothes out the skin on and around the lips.
