What Is Surgical Lip Augmentation?

Unlike temporary dermal fillers, surgical lip augmentation creates long-lasting results by reshaping or adding volume with your own tissue or biocompatible materials. At Athēnix Pasadena, our most common techniques include:

  • Fat Transfer to Lips: Fat is gently harvested, purified, and injected into the lips for soft, natural fullness.
  • Lip Lift: A discreet incision beneath the nose shortens the philtrum and refines the upper lip’s contour for youthful definition.
  • Tissue or Implant Augmentation: In select cases, grafts or implants are used to achieve additional volume and structure.

Benefits of Surgical Lip Augmentation

Patients at Athēnix Pasadena choose surgical lip enhancement for its lasting advantages:

  • Permanent or long-term results compared to fillers
  • Natural softness and feel using fat or tissue-based methods
  • Multiple techniques for customized outcomes
  • Improved balance between the lips and surrounding features
  • Refined definition to address thinning or elongation with age

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a great candidate for surgical lip augmentation in Pasadena if you:

  • Want a long-term solution instead of temporary fillers
  • Have thin or aging lips with volume loss
  • Prefer natural techniques like fat transfer over synthetic options
  • Wish to correct asymmetry or restore balance
  • Are healthy, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations

During your consultation at Athēnix Pasadena, your surgeon will assess your facial anatomy and design a plan customized to your unique features and goals.

What to Expect During Surgery

Lip augmentation surgery is performed in our AAAHC-accredited Pasadena facility under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the chosen method.

Fat Transfer

Fat is gently harvested via liposuction, purified, and carefully injected into the lips.

Lip Lift

A small strip of skin is removed beneath the nose to subtly elevate and define the upper lip.

Implants or Grafts

Soft tissue or silicone implants may be placed for additional, long-term volume.

Procedures typically take one to two hours, and patients return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

It’s normal to experience temporary swelling, bruising, or mild tenderness in the lips and donor areas after surgery. These effects typically improve within one to two weeks. Stitches from a lip lift are usually removed after about a week, with scars hidden beneath the nose where they fade over time.

Final results from fat transfer and lip lifts provide long-lasting improvement in lip shape, volume, and definition. Patients enjoy lips that appear naturally fuller and beautifully balanced with their facial features.
