Have Your Lip Collagen Performed in Georgia

What is the perfect lip? Some prefer a pout. Some desire volume. Others simply hate the small vertical lines (“smoker’s lines,” even in those who have never smoked) that run perpendicular to the lip. Fortunately, we have many new fillers available to enhance your perfect lips.

Collagen has been widely used in cosmetic surgery as a safe and effective material for “filling” wrinkles and lessening the signs of aging. Collagen and collagen-like products can also be used for lip augmentation and lip enhancement. Like facial collagen treatment, lip collagen treatment works by restoring natural volume and providing better definition to the “lipstick line”. The treatment adds volume to the lips that may last months, even up to a year with some new fillers.

Treatment with collagen is a quick and satisfying cosmetic procedure. Collagen injection can be done on either one lip or both, depending on the patient’s preference. Most treatments are performed with the newer hyaluronic acid fillers, which are synthetic derivatives of the skin’s normal hyaluronic acid, the “springs of the skin” which provide volume. The hyaluronic acids like Juvederm and Restylane require no allergy testing and last much longer than “true” collagen.

The effect of the procedure is noticeable immediately. It may last from 3 to 12 months depending on which filler is used. The body will eventually metabolize any filler and therefore the treatment is considered to be temporary.
