Texas Lip Augmentation — Dr. David M. Turner

Providing expert lip enhancement to patients in Austin, Round Rock and San Marcos, TX

What is Lip Augmentation?

There's nothing more beautiful than full, sexy lips. Unfortunately, many men and women struggle with thin, wrinkled lips that detract from their overall appearance. Lip augmentation is simply the magnification of your lips, creating that perfect pout that you've always wanted.

In Austin, TX, Dr. David M. Turner and his staff provide lip augmentation through several different procedures. They include:

Fillers: The use of cosmetic dermal fillers to create full lips has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Some examples include human-based collagen fillers, bovine-based collagen fillers and hyaluronic acid-derived fillers. Human-based collagen fillers may last for four months or more. Bovine-based collagen, however, typically gives more permanent results because of its polymethylmethacrylate microspheres that lodge in the lips even after the collagen dissipates. Hyaluronic acid-derived fillers, on the other hand, consist of a naturally occurring polysaccharide that already exists in the skin and may offer longer-lasting lip enhancement than its collagen-based competitors.

Fat transfers: This type of lip augmentation is achieved by extracting fat cells from a discreet area of your body (i.e. the buttocks) and injecting them into the lips. Although fat transfer results may be slightly unpredictable — typically depending on the technique used to prepare the cells — it often produces longer-lasting results than fillers.

Surgical options: The most permanent of the lip augmentation procedures, lip implants involve inserting a synthetic implant through small incisions, typically at the corner of the lips. There are several implants to choose from, including Gore-Tex (made up of a biocompatible polymer material called ePTFE) and SoftForm (a circular, softer form of ePTFE).

All of these lip augmentation techniques can be used to define and restore volume to your lips, as well as reduce the appearance of fine line wrinkles. Dr. Turner and his staff will be happy to meet with you at our Austin office to help determine which method would work best for you. We welcome patients from throughout Texas, particularly Round Rock, San Marcos and other Austin-area locales.
