Lip Augmentation in New Orleans, LA

• Fat Transfer: Fat deposits are harvested from the patient’s own body by means of liposuction. These collected fats are purified and reinstated with tiny syringes into the lips. The doctor will take the extra measure of reinstating the fat tissues, slowly layering the filler to reshape the lips to meet the patient’s aesthetic desires.
• Injectable Filler: This is a popular way to enhance the lips in a nonsurgical manner. Fillers are made from substances that are found naturally within the body such as hyaluronic acid and/or collagen based solutions. Fillers produce beautiful, natural results, however, they are considered short-term and reinjection are advised about every 6 months. Dr. Khoobehi prefer to use Juvederm Ultra XC for the lips. The treatment process is minimally invasive, approximately a 30 minute appointment. Results will be noticeable in as little as 2-3 days and will last 6-9 months.
• Autologous Dermis and Tissue: It’s an incision that is made in the corner of the mouth and the tissue is thread through the upper lip to add volume. This is a surgical procedure but the results are amazing!

During/After Surgery

Lip enhancement can be performed under general anesthesia at Outpatient Surgical Center or local anesthesia at Dr. Khoobehi accredited surgical suite. Lip Autologous Dermis and Tissue process is usually concluded within an hour. Injectable fillers require no anesthesia, however, a local numbing medication is usually used.
