Male Lip Augmentation

The vast majority of lip augmentation patients are women. Often times, we associate lip augmentation with obvious, too dramatic looking lips. However, there is a small section of men who benefit from lip enhancement. Men who benefit from this are often ones who are image conscious. This includes actors, models, and clients who photograph often. There are also men who notice their lips atrophy with age. Finally, there are patients who have an asymmetry of the lips. Lipaugmentationcan help balance the lip to create a more symmetrical and attractive face.  The subtle recreation of fullness can help restore a youthful appearance.

The key to lip enhancement in men is that the result must not dominate the face. Nowhere else in the body is the adage "less is more" appropriate. Lip fillers are done as an in office procedure. Numbing creams are applied prior to the procedure and most patients are able to return to work that day.
