LIP LIFT

LIP LIFT PROCEDURES IN CLEVELAND

Luscious lips are in! A new, innovative option for lip augmentation is stem cell injections, harvested from the body’s own fat. The fat is treated with a proprietary cleansing to optimize graft survival. Come find the lush lips you’ve always wanted with our team of plastic surgeons at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery!

WHAT IS LIP AUGMENTATION?

Full lips are beautiful and attractive. There are a variety of treatment options available to augment one’s lips. Fillers restore volume and shape to the lips. The dermal fillers like Restylane®, Juvéderm®, are natural sugars that are very safe and do not require skin testing. Dr. Diamantis is a certified, expert injector with several new and exciting products. Hyaluronic acid products such as Restylane®/Juvéderm®/Volbella®/Silk® are manufactured to be easy to inject and sculpt.

The disadvantage to these fillers is that they readily resorb. The average duration of Restylane® and Juvéderm® is around 9 to 12 months. Our plastic surgeons at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery utilize Radiasse® and Sculptura® as an intermediate lasting lip augmenter. Radiasse® is made of hydroxyapatite, a coral-based product. It’s advantage is that it lasts for two years. With over two decades of experience, Dr. Diamantis has observed excellent long-term results. However, hyaluronic acid products require multiple injections, which may become quite costly.

NEW LIP AUGMENTATION

A new and innovative option for lip augmentation is having stem cell injections. Treated fat cells with proprietary cleansing is an ideal option for lip augmentation. Fat as a stem cell is abundant, and there is no risk of an allergic reaction. Fat reacts like a stem cell, which becomes the ultimate, permanent graft. Fat transfer is a universal graft with unlimited potential. Our plastic surgeons at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery are experts in stem cell injections and can answer any questions you might have.

THE LIP AUGMENTATION EXPERIENCE

Finally, Dr. Diamantis and his team of plastic surgeons at Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery developed a lift, uniquely designed to rejuvenate and enhance the lips and mouth area. The new lip lift accentuates the size (volume) and shape (architecture) of your lips and mouth, resulting in an elegant, natural smile. The lip lift improves the shape of your lips by enhancing the cupid’s bow and philtrum of the upper lip.

As an added benefit, the lip lift will improve the corners of your mouth. This new technique will lift the modiolus (corners of the mouth) upward into a more socially pleasing and beautiful position. In other words, the lip lift will turn that frown upside down. The lip lift offered by Cleveland Cosmetic Surgery is a permanent rejuvenation of the entire mouth complex without implants or fillers.

LIP IMPLANTS

Occasionally, Dr. Diamantis and his team of plastic surgeons will utilize lip implants to permanently augment the upper and lower lip. Lip implants are made of surgical-grade silicone or Gore-Tex material, available in a plethora of custom sizes and shapes. Patients appreciate the immediate and exact results of lip implants.

However, there are several legitimate concerns with the introduction of an implantable device.

Dr. Diamantis and his plastic surgeons adhere to a thorough and extensive screening process. Luckily, with today’s medical advances, there are a variety of medical options available to you to enhance and rejuvenate the lip and mouth area. Allow us to help select the best option for you!

BEFORE

“I got the lips and lift I’ve always wanted.”

Amy studies a lot and spends most of her free time training for competitive cheer. She believes her lips are too small and unimpressive, even after lipstick application. Amy wants a subtle change in her lip size and shape. Dr. Diamantis recommended fillers to best address her concerns.

Amy’s Recommended Treatments

  1. JUVEDERM® to add fullness to the lips using two syringes of HA and to get natural looking results that last 9-12 months.
  2. LATISSE® to address her thinning lashes and grow them fuller, longer and darker over the course of 16 weeks.

“My lips are fuller and natural-looking.” – Amy

AFTER

Amy wanted a subtle change in her lip size and shape. Dr. Diamantis recommended Juvederm® as a great introduction to lip augmentation. She is very happy with the subtle increase in lip volume. The nice attribute of Juvederm® is that you can always add more volume to your lips. As a side benefit, Dr. Diamantis corrected the wrinkles in the corner of Amy’s mouth.

FAQ FOR LIP LIFT

A Lip Lift (upper lip lift surgery) is a cosmetic facial procedure that enhances upper lip shape, definition, and position by shortening the philtrum (space between the nose and upper lip).
