Your lips are among the first things others notice about you. Plump, full lips can enhance your facial features and give you an appealing, youthful appearance. Not everyone has been blessed with full, plump lips. Genetics, smoking, and the natural aging process can all impact the size and shape of your lips. Thinning lips have an impact on your confidence and self-esteem.
For years, Boston Center for Plastic Surgery has been offering advanced treatments to restore the shape, size, and volume of lips. Our experienced doctors can help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking lips that enhance your appearance with lip filler in Boston.

Today, there are various options for non-surgical lip augmentation in Boston. We offer a range of soft tissue fillers, all FDA-approved for safe results. In addition to dermal fillers, we provide the fat transfer technique, which uses your body's own fatty tissue to plump your lips. Our available fillers include:
A soft HA filler perfect for adding volume to the lips, restoring shape and contour without an overfilled appearance. The results last from four to six months.
FDA-approved fillers are suitable for immediately adding shape to thin or uneven lips. These fillers create plump, pillow-like lips that feel soft to the touch. Results last for six to nine months, sometimes longer.
A trusted HA filler providing exceptional results. Over time, it encourages collagen production, making results last up to six months. Restylane Silk is a softer form that is effective for filling fine lines above and below the lips. Restylane Refyne is another softer filler for the lips.
Many people opt for microneedling to achieve smoother skin, but genetics, smoking, and aging can affect lip size and shape. While microneedling can't be used directly on the lips, patients can request lip augmentation to enhance their lips during microneedling.

What are the risks and side effects of lip augmentation?
Lip augmentation is a cosmetic procedure aimed at enhancing thinning lips, smoothing lip lines, and defining fading lip borders. Using various soft tissue fillers, Dr. Miller and Dr. Doherty at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery can achieve subtle, natural-looking improvements in lip shape, fullness, and symmetry. Additionally, the fat transfer technique can provide long-lasting lip fullness by using fatty tissue from a donor area of the body.
Nearly anyone dissatisfied with the shape or fullness of their lips may be a good candidate for non-invasive lip augmentation. Candidates should generally be in good overall health, understand the recommended treatment plan, and have realistic expectations for the results. However, patients who are pregnant, nursing, or dealing with specific medical conditions may need to delay their lip augmentation session.
The benefits of a lip augmentation session are often noticeable right away. Dermal fillers provide immediate plumping and sculpting of the lips. Hyaluronic Acid fillers, in particular, offer long-lasting results by stimulating the body's collagen production, extending the effects of the treatment for six to nine months, and sometimes even longer.
Lip augmentation typically involves little to no downtime, allowing patients to return to work immediately. However, it's common to experience some bruising and mild swelling, so some individuals may prefer to wait a day or two before resuming work or school. It's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 48 hours. Makeup can be applied right away.
The lip enhancement techniques provided at the Boston Center for Plastic Surgery are considered safe. Side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, pinpoint bleeding, and bruising. Serious complications are extremely rare, although there is a slight possibility of infection, nerve damage, or asymmetry. Choosing an experienced cosmetic surgeon for injectable treatments is crucial to minimize risks.
