LIP FILLERS
What is Lip Enhancement?
When you’re young, your lips appear moist, supple, and voluminous because of the hyaluronic acid present in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring component that binds up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. Thanks to its water retention capacity, your lips and surrounding skin appear moist, supple, and hydrated. However, the loss of hyaluronic acid with age leads to dry, thin, and cracked lips.
Versa and Restylane Kysse are lip fillers that supplement the depleting hyaluronic acid reserves in your lips, restoring their youthful volume and glow. Whether you have genetically thin lips or age-related thinness, lip enhancement immediately adds volume and weight to enhance their contours. Furthermore, unlike other lip fillers and lip enhancement techniques, Versa and Restylane Kysse have subtle formulas that ensure natural-looking results and flexibility, so you don’t have to worry about stiffness or overcorrection.

Lip Enhancement Candidates
Lip enhancement with Versa or Restylane Kysse is suitable for all patients 21 years of age or older. Whether you have naturally thin lips or are suffering from age-related lip thinness, lip enhancement can help you achieve luscious lips without stiffness or overcorrection. You may also consider lip enhancement if you have excessively dry, cracked, or asymmetric lips — the hyaluronic acid in Versa or Restylane Kysse can increase your lips’ general suppleness. Lip enhancement may not be suitable for pregnant or nursing women or patients with a history of allergic reactions.
Dr. Jagger identifies the ideal injection spots in and around your lips. She also applies some topical numbing cream to ensure you have a comfortable experience. Next, she carefully delivers the filler in and around your lips via small injections — the number of injections will depend on your specific cosmetic goals.
TREATMENT
01
You may experience mild swelling, discomfort, and redness around the injection points for a few days or weeks. However, you can resume all daily activities and work as soon as you leave the clinic. You may be advised against strenuous workouts and physical activities for about 24 hours to let the filler settle in its place.

RESULTS
Versa or Restylane Kysse produce immediate results — your lips will seem larger and smoother. However, the results will improve over the next days as the swelling and side effects recede. They will enhance your lips for roughly 6 months, following which you’ll need maintenance treatments to retain the results.
