What Is Surgical Lip Augmentation?

Unlike injectable fillers that provide temporary results, surgical lip augmentation uses your own tissue or biocompatible materials for longer-lasting enhancement. At Athēnix Bellevue, our most common procedures include:

  • Fat Transfer to Lips: Purified fat is gently harvested and injected into the lips for natural softness and fullness.
  • Lip Lift: A small, hidden incision beneath the nose elevates and reshapes the upper lip, shortening the distance to restore youthful proportion.
  • Tissue or Implant Augmentation: In select cases, grafts or soft implants may be placed to achieve additional structure and volume.

Benefits of Surgical Lip Augmentation

Patients choose surgical lip enhancement in Bellevue at Athēnix  for several reasons:

  • Lasting or permanent results compared to temporary fillers
  • Natural look and feel using your own fat or tissue-based methods
  • Multiple techniques customized to your facial proportions
  • Balanced improvements that enhance overall facial harmony
  • Restored definition and fullness to lips affected by aging

What to Expect During Surgery

Surgical lip augmentation is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Bellevue facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.

  • Fat Transfer: Fat is gently collected from donor areas such as the abdomen or thighs, purified, and injected into the lips.
  • Lip Lift: A small strip of skin is removed beneath the nose to refine and elevate the upper lip.
  • Implants or Grafts: Soft, biocompatible materials may be placed to provide additional support and fullness.

Most procedures take one to two hours, and patients return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the lips and donor areas (for fat transfer) is normal and usually improves within 1–2 weeks. Lip lift stitches are typically removed after about a week, with scars hidden discreetly beneath the nose.

Final results from fat transfer and lip lifts are designed to be long-lasting, with fuller, better-defined lips that complement your natural features. Patients enjoy results that look authentic and age gracefully over time.

Fat transfer and lip lifts are considered long-term or permanent, though natural aging continues to influence tissues.
