Lip Augmentation
Island Plastic Surgery offers Lip Augmentation to patients from Mineola, West Islip, Long Island and nearby areas.
Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with a pair of naturally beautiful lips. For the few born with great lips, the sun, the elements, smoking and the natural aging process will eventually take their toll. Over time, the corners of the mouth begin to droop; the V-shaped area of the upper lip (known as Cupid's bow) flattens, losing its youthful fullness; vertical wrinkles or (smoker's lines) appear, causing your lipstick to bleed; and that once sensual look is greatly diminished. With lip augmentation at Island Plastic Surgery in New York, you can create the lips you have always wanted or re-establish the fuller, more attractive lips you once had.
Our medical team in Mineola and West Islip are up to date on the latest lip augmentation techniques. Options include natural injectable fillers, synthetic implants and fat grafting, all of which are soft, pliable and have a natural feel. With lip augmentation, we have helped patients throughout the Long Island region feel more confident about their appearance. Our top-notch services draw men and women from New Rochelle, Yonkers and Hempstead, NY, and Greenwich, CT.

How is Lip Augmentation Performed?
There are a variety of options when it comes to lip augmentation. When you speak with Island's surgical staff in Mineola or West Islip, we will make sure you thoroughly understand the differences between the techniques. After we have listened closely to your objectives and given you a comprehensive evaluation, we will help decide which method is best for you. Common procedures for lip augmentation include:
- Injectable fillers are probably the most widespread method for lip augmentation. They are available in various brand names, such as Radiesse® and Restylane®, and use key ingredients like collagen, calcium hydroxylapatite or hyaluronic acid. Injections are made with a tiny needle, targeting several points on your lips.
- Synthetic implants are the most invasive type of lip augmentation, but they also offer the most permanent results. Your surgeon will place the implant in a small incision inside the lip.
- Fat grafting is becoming more popular because it actually uses your own fat. The procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of your body, often the abdomen or thighs. After the fat is processed and purified, it is inserted with a small needle at several points on your lips.
