LIP AUGMENTATION

The results from lip augmentation won't be lifelong, but they can be semi-permanent depending on the techniques that are used. For most people, lip augmentation results last from six months up to a year. If you're looking for more long-term results, then you can look into solutions such as calcium hydroxyapatite or poly-L-lactic acid. Both of these are known to offer semi-permanent results that can last for a couple of years.

It isn’t uncommon for patients to return for a touch-up down the road. When it comes to surgical lip augmentation, these results can be permanent. An example of a permanent lip augmentation procedure would be lip implants. This approach may not be the best choice for everyone, so it’s essential you discuss your options with your surgeon. Some procedures can also be more invasive than others, so it comes down to exactly what you’re willing to deal with.

To guarantee a healthy recovery and the best results possible, there are a few things you’ll want to avoid post-op. These requirements may vary from person to person, but there are some staples that can’t be ignored for the sake of your health and final results.

Some of these include:

• Don’t drink from a straw or smoke
• Avoid massaging or touching your lips
• Don’t partake in strenuous activity for at least a few days
• Minimize sun exposure by staying indoors or wearing a hat with a wide brim
• Exposing your lips to extreme temperatures isn’t advisable

It’s likely that your surgeon will offer more specific instructions on top of these as well. The procedure may seem rather quick and simple, but it takes some time for results to shine through. You may be eager for the end results, but those will only come to fruition by following aftercare instructions without fail.

Lip augmentation NYC residents can rely on generally costs anywhere between $500 to $2,000. The final cost is dependent on the surgeon you’re working with and the methods used to achieve the desired results. With surgical procedures such as lip implants, this can be much more expensive, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. In rare instances, surgical procedures for lip augmentation could be more expensive than that, but it isn’t the norm.

Outside of that, the cost of your treatment heavily considers the type of filler formulas that are used. Some are more expensive than others, with hyaluronic acid being one of the most affordable.
