Lip Enhancement in Beverly Hills, California (CA)

Lip enhancement can help you achieve the plump, fuller looking lips that you desire. Lip volume can be enhanced with injectable fillers such as collagen or with natural or artificial implants placed surgically inside your lips. Lip surgery can also improve projection and fullness.

How lip enhancement is performed

Lip enhancement can be achieved with injectable fillers, implants, or lip surgery.

Injectable fillers
are a popular way to increase lip volume quickly and easily. Your doctor will apply a numbing cream to your lips or inject anesthesia directly. Then a long needle is inserted into your lips at the corners of your mouth and the filler is slowly injected. Fillers can be made of natural collagen, fat harvested from your own body, or other chemicals such as hyaluronic acid that promote natural collagen growth. Different fillers have different longevities and effectiveness.

Surgical implants
are a more permanent means of lip enhancement, although they can be removed later if you wish. Your doctor will numb your lips using local anesthesia and make two small incisions at the corners of your mouth. The implant is then placed inside your lip using specially curved pliers. The implant looks like a narrow worm, and can be made of artificial materials like Gore-Tex or natural tissues like muscle or cartilage harvested from your body.


Lip advancement, lift, and roll surgery
improves projection and fullness using small incisions above and below the lips to lift and turn them outwards. Your surgeon will numb your lips with local anesthesia and make small v-shaped incisions above and below your lips. Excess skin is removed and the incisions are then stitched into a y-shaped pattern to pull on your lips and make them project more and appear fuller.

Recovery and results

After injectable fillers you may want to take one to two days off to recover, depending on how much filler was used. Your results will be immediate, but temporary swelling may distort your final look. Lip fillers aren’t permanent, and you may need touch-up sessions in a year or so.

Lip implants can require three days off of work and up to two weeks for a full recovery. You’ll have to stick to soft foods and avoid exercise while you heal. Your results will be immediate and permanent, although you can have the implants removed later.

After lip enhancement surgery you’ll have pain and discomfort around your incisions, but this should fade in several weeks. Your stitches will be taken out after a week and you can use makeup or lipstick to hide the incisions while they heal. Your results will be immediate and permanent.


About Perry Liu MD

Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery
Beverly Hills, CA

Self-esteem, being comfortable in your own skin, bringing to light your natural beauty, rejuvenating your body, correcting a flaw from accident or injury, these are things that can be accomplished with the help of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Perry Liu. Dr. Liu has extensive training and experience in many of the fields of plastic surgery, but what really sets him apart is his sense of aesthetics. A natural and beautiful result isn’t only achieved by surgical skill; it is achieved by the convergence of art and surgical skill.

Practice Philosophy

During consultations, Dr. Liu strives to understand each patient’s priorities and goals so that he may fulfill their expectations, have the results complement each patient’s features and personality, and achieve the most natural result possible.  Together with his patients, he will develop a treatment plan that is individualized and specific for his patient’s needs and desires. This is only a part of what makes him a great eyelid surgeon Los Angeles has to offer.

He believes that there can be no greater compliment than to have patients look great without others being able to tell they have had surgery. Subtle changes can have dramatic yet natural results. Plastic surgery can distort, maim, and destroy a person’s self esteem. Or it can enhance, rejuvenate, and restore one’s youthful looks. Dr. Liu is a staunch advocate of the later and doing what is best for his patient’s health and appearance. He is committed working with his patients to achieve this goal.

Dr. Liu also believes that great surgical outcomes are not only dependent upon good technical skills and a sound fund of knowledge, but also depend on how you handle tissue during surgery. When handled gently and treated with respect, tissues heal better and scar less.  Tissues that are traumatized less during surgery also recover more quickly. Patients not only feel better faster and have less down time, but ultimately scar better. The precision of the closure also helps make scars less visible. As a result, different surgeons achieve different outcomes when performing the same exact procedure. No one understands this better than a micro-surgically trained plastic surgeon.
